We’re talking the kind of deep inner passion that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning and get going!

The kind of feeling we all experienced as a child when we couldn’t wait for morning to come so we could get downstairs to see what was waiting for us under the christmas tree! (even if you don’t observe xmas, you know what I am talking about)

Sadly, most all human misery can be traced to this fact not being widely recognized and emphasized!

If you aren’t doing something creative that truly gets your blood flowing, you are tragically missing out on the very reason for being alive!

There is a great analogy in the field of firefighting.

When firefighters respond to a building fire they know that in order to efficiently put out the fire they have to find the “seat of the fire.”

The “seat of the fire” is the location of it’s origin, the source of the fire, the spot where everything started, the core if you will.

They must work their way through and over obstacles, persisting in finding their way through all the smoke and heat in order to reach the spot where they can then deliver their water right to the source

Then, and only then, will they have accomplished their purpose and extinguished the fire at it’s root.

This is an almost identical process we must all go through if we are to discover the “seat of our own fire” which exists inside every individual and then we will truly achieve our own deep inner purpose.

And when a person makes the discovery of their own “friday night essence”, it isn’t better than sex, just different!

So get out their and strive with all of your alacrity to discover the “seat of your own fire”!

And don’t ever give up!

(partial excerpt from the forthcoming book: Fire Fighters are Cool…and so can you?)

Every major breakthrough in the history of mankind was marked by a profound shift in the way people viewed the world and how they viewed themselves.

Part of this shifting resulted from new information and knowledge which, until that time, was not known or understood.

Before the great astronomer and scientist Nicolaus Copernicus, (1473-1543) allowed his revolutionary heliocentric theory to be published, most of the world’s population still believed that the earth was at the center of the Universe and flat!

With Copernicus’ new knowledge spreading out into the world, it caused a dramatic shift in how everyone perceived the world around them leading to monumental implications for what the future may bring.

From that point onward people saw the world, their entire universe, in a completely different way. In so doing it fundamentally changed the way each person viewed his/her life and brought into the light new questions to be considered and studied.

So the prevailing view of the universe, the geo-centric theory or earth centered model, had to be dismissed in order to make room for the new theory.

Many resisted this change for reasons ranging from fear to having a purposeful agenda in keeping the old ways alive.

Keeping new knowledge hidden and controlled is an established means to maintain power and control over others as the new knowledge can remove the need for the old ways of societal organization.

Such is the case with Capitalism.

New knowledge and information has made the time right to let capitalism go the way of the geo-centric theory.

We must now create a civilization that acknowledges all the essential, life enhancing values derived from capitalism while evolving into a new color world where the old makes way for the new while greatly improving the conditions for human life on this planet we call Earth.

So, what NEW knowledge has arrived to warrant such a dramatic shift right now you may ask?

Simply speaking, it’s the full realization of the true value and potential of the faculty we call consciousness…the down home limitless value of EACH conscious individual existing on this planet!

That means you, me, and everyone else living today are, in fact, the supreme and highest value in existence.

This means there are no people BETTER THAN, or more inherently valuable than, any other people!

This fact is crucial to understand and the full implications embraced and reflected in our civilizations and laws so every human being is able to flourish and reach the pinnacle of their potential.

We must acknowledge the supreme value of individual human consciousness and establish laws protecting certain fundamental rights of THE INDIVIDUAL which flow from this recognition.

The most fundamental of these rights is for all individuals to be free from the “initiation of force or fraud, by anyone, and for any reason”…no exceptions!

We also MUST abolish those laws that violate these fundamental rights.

And when we do these things we will have moved beyond capitalism and into a NeoThink® society!

Anchored securely in our new knowledge and full recognition of the supreme value in existence, individual human consciousness, we will then be poised for the greatest leap forward in all human history.

The final evolution into NeoThink®

Next, who will try and stand in the way of this evolution and why.

He must have missed his nap and became cranky again. 

His latest wailing is titled Capitalism: A love Story. 

Now, anyone choosing to go and see this um, I really don’t know what to call it, this finger painting of a film, might think they were actually going to see a movie about capitalism. 

Sadly, they would be mistaken and may never realize they had been deceived yet again. 

Moore utilizes one of the oldest forms of intellectual and emotional trickery in order to sway his audience into accepting his stunted and immature worldview. 

It’s called “re-definition” and is classified as one of the informal fallacies in logic. 

(actually, Moores’ works are riddled with so many logical fallacies it’s difficult to keep up) 

It’s like “re-defining” honesty as the act of lying to other people. 

With Capitalism: A love Story, Moore looks out into the world and captures on film what he sees… the corruption, the examples of greed on Wall Street, the people struggling financially, the catholic priests referring to capitalism as an “evil” needing to be eradicated etc. etc.  

He arouses in his audience emotions of anger, sadness, and frustration while implying all along that the cause of all this misery and suffering is, of course, capitalism. (What Moore is seeing when he looks out into the world IS NOT capitalism I assure you!) 

This film is not only an injustice to capitalism but an egregious insult to every innocent person who may seek deeper understanding in these confusing times and who may unwittingly accept the premise that capitalism is evil. 

This is exactly the same technique the nazi’s used in order to get the people of Germany to accept the idea that the Jews were the cause of all their problems and had to be “eradicated”! 

Insane. 

But, don’t blame Michael Moore too much. 

I really don’t think he knows what he is doing. 

Just like any child who is throwing a fit, he mainly seeks attention and lots of money to buy his ice cream cones and video games while not caring a bit how wealth is created and what the laws of cause and effect have to do with anything. 

A world where fantasy dominates and reality is never allowed to intrude. 

In an ironic statement that reflects one of the benefits and requirements of a capitalist society he states: 

“I’m a millionaire, I’m a multi-millionaire, I’m filthy rich. You know why I’m a multi-millionaire? ‘Cause multi-millions like what I do. That’s pretty good, isn’t it? There’s millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?” (As quoted in the Arcata Eye (3 March 2002) 

Well Mr. Moore, I guess you can have your cake, and lot’s of it, and eat it too! 

Michael Moore’s personal ramblings aside, the question is how do such films as his even make it out of the playground and into the mainstream of public discourse. 

Apparently Mr. Moore has some pretty powerful “capitalists” backing his work. 

One such backer is media magnate and chairman of Liberty Media John Malone, a “champion of unfettered free markets.” 

Why would Mr. Malone financially support a film that proposes to eradicate the very system he claims to be a champion of? (lest you be confused, “unfettered free markets” are another capitalist principle) 

Why indeed? 

Could this be a late in life attack of guilt for having achieved so much success in his life? 

Doubtful.

Or maybe Mr. Malone just wants to “eradicate capitalism” to make sure no one else is allowed to rise to such a successful level as he lest they become a competitive threat to his vast empire?  

Who knows and who cares the reason, however sad or pathetic. 

Know this dear readers, the society we live in today is any thing BUT Capitalism! 

We live in some kind of gross mutation of politics and religion combined with socialism, fascism, cronyism and a few ism’s that defy any known label. 

There are some principles of capitalism still at work in the world thankfully, but if the ideas proposed in films like this are followed the world we live in will dis-integrate into nothing but a miserable existence for all and one not seen since the “dark ages” of humankind. 

Capitalism IS the solution to all these issues brought out in the film, not the cause!  

I will let the great author and philosopher Ayn Rand describe for you WHAT capitalism really is. 

“Capitalism is a social system based on the recognition of individual rights, including property rights, in which all property is privately owned. 

The recognition of individual rights entails the banishment of physical force from human relationships: basically, rights can be violated only by means of force. In a capitalist society, no man or group may initiate the use of physical force against others. The only function of the government, in such a society, is the task of protecting man’s rights, i.e., the task of protecting him from physical force; the government acts as the agent of man’s right of self-defense, and may use force only in retaliation and only against those who initiate its use; thus the government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of force under objective control.” 

“What Is Capitalism?” Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, 19 

And further… 

“If a detailed, factual study were made of all those instances in the history of American industry which have been used by the statists as an indictment of free enterprise and as an argument in favor of a government-controlled economy, it would be found that the actions blamed on businessmen were caused, necessitated, and made possible only by government intervention in business. The evils, popularly ascribed to big industrialists, were not the result of an unregulated industry, but of government power over industry. The villain in the picture was not the businessman, but the legislator, not free enterprise, but government controls.” 

“Notes on the History of American Free Enterprise,”

Capitalism: The Unknown Ideal, 102. 

So if you do choose to see this new creation of Michael Moore etal, stop and ask yourself this important question.  

If not capitalism, then what? 

Fortunately there is an alternative to our current state of affairs that retains all the foundational principles of capitalism while removing the malignant mutations we see all around us. 

Join us next time as we explore this new and exciting alternative to Capitalism: A Love Story. 

So again, thank you Mikey Moore… you can go back to beddy bye now that you have your blanky of attention and your belly is full. 

Sweet dreams little boy.

       Historic first World Neo-Think Day creates major Buzz.

I felt like I got a big jolt from some electro-shock machine right through my whole being!

Stunned at first, I soon wanted to do it again!

What had just happened, I wondered, am I just imagining this?

Could it actually be true?

Well, it is true and what happened was the first ever World Neo-Think Day celebration.

After decades of foundation building, endless days and hours of preparation, the day had finally come to “flip the switch” and see what happens.

It must have felt the same way when Thomas Edison, building on knowledge gathered from over 2 thousand years, finally gave the command “let there be light” and electricity suddenly became available for all mankind to benefit from.

From that point forward, human beings would never have to be at the mercy of the incessant darkness that severely limited their potential.

Likewise, the first ever World Neo-Think Day signals the dawn of a new awakening for people everywhere on this planet.

No longer will people be forced to succumb to the unending forces impinging on their lives and sapping their precious desires to live the life they were truly meant to live.

Like the first rays of sunlight shimmering on the horizon of a newly born day, the bright light of Neo-Think is ascending, relentlessly bringing the light of Honesty into the World and all her precious inhabitants.

So take a moment and reflect on what a wondrous time it is to be alive and to be part of this final evolutionary leap for Humankind, the leap into Neo-Think!
