If you are wanting to get all the scam artists and telemarketers out of your daily life now and forever, you have to become conscious of their techniques and completely scam-proof yourself.

The actual reason is that I’ve been working to get you all this data is so that you can recognize a fraud for what it is and stay away from the appeal and trap. You don’t have to get the refund you didn’t get taken by.

To begin with, let’s review what the book told you so far:

Maslow told you that we all have a hierarchy of needs, running from the real physical up through emotional, social, cognitive, aesthetic, growth, and right up to self-actualization.

Cialdini revealed to us that these requirements have been glommed onto by scammers who have taken advantage of the six main elements to apply: Reciprocation, Commitment and consistency, Social proof, Liking, Authority, and Scarcity.

Levenson exposed to us that the reason these 6 succeed for scam artists is peculiar to only 3 distinct desires:

1. Security,

2. Approval,

3. Control.

Through these 3 experts, you certainly see how you are hard-wired, but as well how you’ve been educated through social contacts and familial training to quickly be a scapegoat of anyone who realizes how to use these key points against you.

Anything you don’t get the anticipated outcome from is a rip-off. But it really amounts to your own ability to figure out for yourself and actualize your own life around you. The more choice you give in to other persons, the more burdensome your own chains become.

A pathway to become scam-free:

Lester Levenson actually found that the largest situation people had was not in that they were hard-wired to be easy mark’s or fall guys. It was that they kept holding onto whatsoever it was that kept them that way. All the bad mental habits you have were learned and can be unlearned. Levenson expanded approaches you can use to release these negative mental habits from your life and quit using them for good.

The ease of these steps are:

* Accept whatever it is that is bothering you.
* And let it go.

It’s really that plain. Even if you don’t consider you can let it go, to some degree you already have.

When you see you’ve been beguiled by some con artist, simply accept that as a fact. See the emotions behind it, the desire for security or approval or control and then just release it.

Don’t try to figure it out or fret over it, just recognize it – and then let it go.

When you release in this vein, those issues are gone for good. At least as far as that particular scam. As you continue this, you become progressively more scam-free. As you gain knowledge from each of these situations, you’ll avoid more and more. Now this doesn’t mean you get totally free overnight, but it is possible. Morelikely is that you are going to discover yourself releasing increasingly more situations you find yourself in where you don’t get the expected outcome.

And as you do keep releasing, you are then even more able to simply treat the people involved in that scenario as you would like to be treated. This will give you the best outcome.

You want to begin doing this with all non-optimal situations you run into. Do this all day long.

That is the secret recipe for getting scam-free completely.

Now there is a lot more to Levenson’s release technique, also called the Sedona Method.

In the Appendix of “Get Your Self Scam Free” are several Sedona releasing sites and their products so you can explore more how to apply this by yourself. Both have a lot of free material on their sites as well as free downloads or low-cost introductory material you can use to improve your life with. Certainly, being able to release anything and everything that is bothering you is far more applicable to your life than just the scams you will quit stumbling over.

Here’s hoping you are able to put this to good use – for yourself and all your family members and close friends. The fewer scams we fall for, the more we can hold onto and expand our native abundance. No reason why we can’t all be wealthy if we use this…

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Waking early the other day, I was taking the extra time to just consider recent events and resolve my day’s plans before I headed into them.

The oddest thing occurred to me – do we own ourselves, really?

(Warning – standby – rant alert.)

Here’s some points that have come across my lines recently:

• Government seems to be taking a larger run out of our lives (like enforcing healthcare choices), whether we want it to or not.
• Congress and elected officials seem to be listening to lobbyists and party officals more than the voters who elected them.
• Our food has increasingly had to be shipped in from thousands of miles away instead of being grown where we can ask and find out what went into it.
• We are being discouraged from working and being independent, since if we did make a fortune to retire on, we’d have it all taxed away – but people who never earn enough to pay taxes are given money from those who do.
• Various scams abound, from credit card companies and usury-level charges along with extraneous fees, to career politicians with their perks, to interest groups who are taking government money (ours) and being paid to promote some extremist agenda, to “Humane Societies” who aren’t trying to handle excess dogs and cats, but are rather trying to make us all into vegans by driving our farmers out of business with regulations.
• Our state-run, mainstream media won’t report on public demonstrations with more people attending than the President’s inauguration, but will tell us about a flu which is less harmful than the regular one – and that we should all line up and pay for shots to protect ourselves against this fiction.
• While the earth has been growing colder since the late 1990′s, our pollution has been growing greater but the only solutions is to what: raise taxes and cost of living for everyone.

So it seemed to me that we needed to stop and take all this into account and see what we could actually do about it.

Of course, the bulk of the problems above really deal with government issues – we are trusting an unresponsive, lobbyist infected government to handle situations we could and should handle ourselves.

Let’s look at some simple solutions to these:

1. People have stayed healthy for many more years than there have ever been insurance companies. And some of the cheapest health care right now has been started in some states where you pay a monthly fee directly to the doctors’ office in order to keep you well – not just when you are sick. No middleman – no one betting against your survival – no one saying you now can’t get any further treatment. And guess what – it’s cheaper by more than half.

2. Career politicians (and career government workers) are really a self-perpetuating business all by themselves. According to the Golden Rule, you have to give before you can get. But government has to take before it can give. And do you know who is writing all these bills that the Congressmen don’t have time to read? Lobbyists and professional government clerical workers – neither of which are elected, both protected from being fired for incompetence. Politicians only want to be re-elected so they can get the perks they voted in for themselves. They live in a different world and even if convicted still get a posh annual retirement income of hundreds of thousands each year – while they are in prison.

3. While there is all these complaints of Cargill, ADM, and Tyson controlling our food chain – no one is telling the stories about how community gardens have been springing up on empty lots inside our cities, as well as on rooftops. Where people are contributing their own labor and getting – literally – the fruits of their endeavors. There is the movement of locally-grown food, some call it the 100-mile diet, getting your food from within a hundred-mile radius of where you live. That way you could know what was in it and maybe even lend a hand in raising it, if you wanted.

4. Taxes have less and less to do with supporting the common good, and more for supporting the friends of whoever is in power in government. (Look at where those “stimulus” funds are actually going to…) Factually, if you take the recommendations given by the IRS guidelines, the most inexpensive way to work is for yourself as a corporate entity and increasingly resorting to barter of your business goods. That is the least-taxed method of making a viable living these days.

5. It looks like all the biggest scams are government sponsored or sanctioned. Credit card companies used to be regulated by the states and had to keep their interest fees low until the Feds in their “OCC” elected to take this right away from the States – and credit fees doubled, to nearly 1/3rd of the original loan. The Humane Society of the United States is actually anti-pet and anti-breeder and anti-farmer. Anything that has four-legs and reproduces is under their auspice – and is getting laws passed to make it more difficult to have pets or eat meat. Yet is runs no animal shelters – and had closed many down, destroying all their occupants. They are a special interest in Washington and do nothing humane. But government scams abound – since the government has a monopoly, who can stop them?

6. Our media has never been accurate in its whole history. They have always, always written sensationalist stories to sell advertising space. Any idea of “Journalist Ethics” was invented by Academics in order to sell classes for journalist wannabe’s. And when they lose their joint control of the air waves to cable and the Internet, they complain about how these “aren’t really journalists” – thank Gawd – and continue to pander to various government officials for “scoops”. The mainstream media has never, ever reflected the real world. Their soap opera’s actually get the closest, way more than their “reality” shows. (Who eat bugs in the jungle for a living?)

7. Read the actual NASA reports and you’ll see the global warming issue is a hoax. Warmest year on record was about 1998, last two years we have had record snowfalls and cold internationally, this summer was one of the coolest on record in decades for many states. Who started this rumor? A career politician. But is CO2 rising? Yes. Effect on global temperature – nothing. Our problem with CO2 starts with our governments, which expel this by the megaton every year and have nothing to show for it. Meanwhile, we truck our food in from thousands of miles away with all that exhaust and refuse permits to set up windfarms off some politicians’ East Coast homes. (Because they are unsightly?) Solutions to this fictional global warming are to tell polluting companies they have to buy credits from less-polluting companies. But the states with politicians in charge get more credits assigned to those states – instead of states with huge forests and pastures filled with grazing animals. (Oh, finally tracked down that other fiction. Excess cow flatulence is caused by feeding them corn and other grains, not their natural diet of grass – which most cattle are raised on for the bulk of their lives.)

- – - -

OK, take a breath, slow down.

The world isn’t all bad. Nor is it all that bad.

But the question comes back – Who Owns You? Or — Do You Really Own Yourself?

Consider this – if you own property and don’t pay the taxes on it, what happens? Some government employees are able to come in and seize your properties for the back taxes with guns and put you in prison if you resist. If you use a gun to defend your property, they are able to use lethal force (kill you) in their “defense”. And your relatives probably can’t even sue for “wrongful death”.

However, if you don’t make enough money to pay taxes because you don’t work, then you qualify for the government renting a house on your behalf and even giving you all sorts of handouts. Who pays for these? Oh, they tell some people who do work for a living to cough up – or they will come and take it, this all backed by gun-toting government employees, against which you can’t defend yourself.

Now if your property is owned by a corporation that you run, the taxes are much less and if it’s a non-profit, you might not pay taxes at all. Similarly, if you don’t really work for a living on anyone’s paper, and barter for everything you own, your taxes are very low, if not non-existent. But you do work for a living and control your own property – and don’t pay for someone else’s upkeep.

Can you control government? No.

Can you improve the government you have? Yes.

Solutions you can do to own yourself

• Let’s do one thing – make all government employees (including the elected ones) all term limited. States can do this for their own Senators and Representatives, they don’t have to get a Federal law passed (which will never happen).
• Another thing: educate yourself on taxes and learn to avoid high taxes by being smart. Only the dumb rich are taxed. Only dumb governments tax the dumb rich enough to make them move to lower-tax states. (Ask New York and California how this works. Both are failed experiments.)
• Vote your representatives out of office on a regular basis, otherwise. Let someone else have a chance.
  How about sunset provisions in every law, including the ones which have been on the books forever? This would mean government officials have to re-vote in all laws every few years to keep them on the books. (Like the Civil Rights Act, which is now being used to protect White minority voters.)
• Get your food all locally. Help grow it yourself to keep your costs down.
• How about insisting your city start recycling materials (they can actually sell the metal and plastic today, while organic materials can be composted back into – yes – local city gardens, or parks, or local farms. (Why does NYC keep dumping it into the ocean – isn’t that just more pollution?) And so we won’t have to spend all that fuel and CO2 trucking, training, and shipping food from California to NY, or Florida to California, or Arkansas to Alaska…
• Quit watching TV. Period. Rots your brain.
• Cut off your power usage by unplugging anything that doesn’t have to be on (like a refrigerator). See if you can’t get a solar cell to run some devices (like night lights). Figure out how you could have the same quality of living without extra doo-dads that someone sold you during a TV infomercial…

Those are just some of the ideas I’ve had for your to reclaim your life for yourself.

You can own yourself.

It will take some work.

But the more you can limit government and work it out for yourself – or in cooperation with your neighbors – then the saner life we can all have.

Try it.

But you have to know where to look…

Just found Burt Goldman’s “Quantum Jumping”, when I was actually looking for more material on “Christ Consciousness” (thanks to Google Desktop and a site-scrape of Finer Minds.)

Of course, readers have seen that I’ve discovered the Levenson Sedona Method recently, so you’ll bear with me when I discuss some other new techniques as “same old”. A bit critical, I guess -

Look, if you know Silva Life System and have read about Huna - throw in a dash of Levenson‘s original tapes – and Quantum Jumping can be simply reverse-engineered.

Silva boiled down meditation to maintaining the alpha brain-wave state – which can be accomplished readily by someone who practices it. Actually, you can do it with eyes wide open on a subway during rush hour if you really wanted (after you’ve practiced for some time in the quiet of your home, though.)

I was interested in this “Quantum Jumping” after I’d been listening to some 60′s tapes of Levenson – and saw again that the two were completely related and saying essentially the same thing, just using different techniques. Levenson goes much, much farther, however.

But check out this section from Serge Kahili King’s “Mastering Your Hidden Self”:

Actually, we all dream all the time. I am not speaking about the idea that this outer life is but a dream, though a very good case could be made for that. What I mean is that dreams – inner experiences both “straight” and strange – are occurring all the time just beneath our usual waking consciousness. Most people have been conditioned not to pay attention to them. But if you just sit down, close your eyes, and watch what happens, you will experience a dream of some kind, even while you are wide awake. It may happen immediately or it may take awhile, depending on your present State and previous conditioning. But dream you surely will. There is even good reason to believe that frequent recourse to “waking dreaming” will lessen the need for “sleep dreaming.” Thomas Edison, for instance, used to take about seventeen very brief naps a day and only needed three hours of sleep at night. He didn’t take the naps to sleep or rest but purposely to dream.

This covers the point that we are in tune with our other “quantum selves” at all times.

And essentially, you only have to get into that alpha state (or in other words, “seek the Silence” as Haanel pointed out in the early 1900′s) and you will actually then be able to get any amount of inspirational intuition you need. (See also Napoleon Hill‘s description of Dr. Gates.)

Meaning, as the ancient Huna Kahuna’s would say, “There are no limits.” You can do, be, and have anything you really want – in fact, you already do, be, and have it. Just maybe not right now in this dimension – but that is just a “tweak” away from happening in the right here and right now.

The only “secret” is tapping into these.

Sure, there’s more details to this. And I’m checking out the American Monk’s YouTube videos just to see what he tells in these to get a broader view of this.

Your life is best lived intuitionally. And the only trick to that is to, as Levenson would say, “Get your Self out of the way. Let go and let God.”

Study the references above and you’ll have all the technique you need to get anything and everything you really want in life – and then take it into the next level beyond that.

Boy, that was a mouthful. Good thing I don’t have my titles that long all the time – Twitter would ban my updates for sure (or people would think I never finish anything…)

OK, the reason I got inspired to write this was exactly what was in my in-box – another endorsement (read: affliliate link) for someone I hadn’t heard of before and how many glowing testimonials with some incredible, don’t-pass-now offer reduced for a limited time…

Like I’d never seen these before.

Actually, I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’ve been opting out of way more mailing lists than I join now days. Usually right after the first worthless offer.

Because these guys are in the same ego trap as their customers – and you can tell in the way they are writing.

You have to ask yourself – what’s all this money for? Sure, having good health is a near necessity – but are you trying to be perfectly healthy all the time, or would minor aches and pains every now and then (like sore from playing a long game of tennis, or being tired after tromping around in the woods all day keeping up with grand children – would those be acceptable?)

Charles Haanel held that money was only a symbol, and that chasing a symbol would cause it all to disappear. Money only stands for what you did to get it. Earl Nightingale said at least once that money only says how much value you’ve been giving others.

Figure that people who only are telling people how to get all the money they want, all the success they can stand – these people are caught up in the same trap.

They’re all symbol-chasing. Why? So the people around you will think better of you?

When you don’t have to take any medicine, and all your bills are paid for months at a time, then what?

And when you get along with the people you like and the other ones mostly leave you alone, then what relationships are you still needing to improve?

The question you want to ask yourself is: “What happens when I get there?”

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

The simplicity of any human-type ill condition is working to keep the illusion of separateness in place. Just look around at any who are really having a “rough” time of it, and you’ll see that they are holding thoughts in place that they alone have this problems, they they have enemies working against them.

But that’s just the fictional load they are carrying.

Look for those who are successful, healthy, happy – and you’ll find they are actively working with others toward a common goal, helping others probably even more than they help themselves.

You’ll find this to be true no matter where you look – because it’s the way this universe is set up. The way we all set it up.

The funny thing is that you almost need to get away from people and go into seclusion in order to shake off these bad mental habits you’ve been keeping for so long which merely hold you back and limit you.

Because our popular culture is constantly reinforcing all those things which simply keep people separate. Look at the “news” and you’ll see all these reports about how bad things are, strife, warfare, violence – all stories about where people are being individual, separate, self-destructive.

Politics and government is just that exactly – group pitted against group. Failed promises to be “bi-partisan” (which itself is composed of two words which mean separateness.)

And you have to look to individuals to get anything done – but these successful individuals do nothing without working with others all the time. They are outstanding only as they are connected really to the Universal and are letting their own light shine through, because they have gotten rid of limits which keep them an individual.

Now, I’m not going to prove any of this to you. You’ll have to do some study of this on your own and prove it to yourself. That’s the only way it works. Follow Sedona Method, Haanel’s books, Napoleon Hill’s Law of Success, Wattle’s “Science of Getting Rich” or even older stuff like Thomas Troward or any of the books about Huna.

Or just sit in a field and meditate in some relaxed pose on what I’ve covered above.

Of course, now I know even better.

Because all that noise just keeps you thinking. It doesn’t help your thinking or figure out how to quit thinking.

Today I threw out (gave away, actually) a 12-hour set of CD’s which cost me nearly a hundred bucks – because that person said in the third recording on the first CD: you can’t do anything about thinking, you can only change what you are thinking.

What a curve-ball.

For the past few days, I’ve been telling you all about Levenson and his Sedona Method. And been telling you how this enables you to quiet your mind and actually quit thinking as the bad habit (addiction, actually) it is.

Another lecture I was listening to today was on wealth building. Yes, that’s kind of a oxymoron all by itself – since your prosperity is already present. Now, he did give a lot of good mechanics on actions you can be informed about to help you with your inspired actions.

But this guy said the same thing many, many people before him said: you have to surround yourself with the tapes that will reinforce and create the world you want. And this is true.

True for those who can’t quit thinking.

I’ve covered this before in other material. It takes about 28 days of listening and re-listening to the same material or set of materials to change a habit. All thought is generally a habit. So if you want to change your mind, you simply change what you are listening to.

You see, most people are effect of the 50-60,000 thoughts that go through their mind in a 24-hour period. They can’t help but think. The breakthrough of the Sedona Method is that it quiets the mind. It allows you to not just think pleasant, joyous thoughts – by regulating your feelings as “The Secret” espouses – but actually to slow down the frequency of thoughts and get them to simply slow way, way down… and then — just stop.

Takes awhile. But you’ve been thinking your whole life, so cut yourself some slack.

Levenson talks on his early tapes that what you are actually doing is getting rid of the mind itself. (As I went over before.)

So why do you need to listen to these tapes? To reinforce your thought processes so that you always “think” in this new habit.

Sure, there is learning new techniques, new ways to accomplish things in this universe. But that is all working at a quite mechanical level, isn’t it.

This new approach is much simpler. If you just keep releasing, you get to the point where Levenson recommended – of simply releasing in order to get things to appear. Now, that is kind of drastic, isn’t it? And you are still going to get inspired action you have to do. Like suddenly calling someone – or turning down a certain street when you are driving somewhere – or stopping to go into a store you haven’t visited before.

Intuitive suggestion – inspiration. Same thing. Quiet your mind and these start coming to you.

Why is it so hard to develop intuition? Because most of use are thinking too hard at it.

Here’s your suggested program to follow:

• Turn off the TV for most of the day, if not all of it.
• Quit listening to audio CD’s and recordings – as well as DVD’s.
• Welcome and release any and all thoughts that come in. If they won’t release and are negative, release on being stuck – then go back and finish releasing them.
• Truth (true inspired intuition) won’t release, but you’ll recognize it for what it is.
• Achieve that inner, joyous, profound peace and maintain it. Any thoughts come in, just welcome and release them.

Do this plan for 30 days instead of anything else. Three times a day just purposely sit for awhile, motionless, relaxed – and release any thoughts that come in, quite in addition to releasing through the day as you go.

You’ll find that all the information you had earlier studied now comes to you as you need it. If there’s something foggy about it, some detail, then re-listen or re-read that material again. Often this will come as some sort of inspired idea as to a book or CD/DVD will suddenly come to you for something you should act on. Follow your bliss – act on your inspired intuitional glimpses.

And while there can be “relapses”, just figure that there is a lot of practice you’ve been going at for more years than you know in developing your thinking habit (at least from age 2) – so some additional thoughts coming in can easily be dealt with by welcoming and releasing.

OK? Have fun.

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

My studies for this upcoming book (working title: “Freedom Is -”) has continued my research and uncovered some new material.

I was looking for simple evidence for the historical basis of the release technique Lester Levenson utilized in his Sedona Method. And of course, this evidence abounds in the works of various Masters, as well as prophets and scholars.

Today, I was checking out the oldest surviving active philosophy on this planet, the Hawaiian Huna. It’s seven principles I thought to be static, but instead they are actually quite fluid. The Hawaiian language as spoken depends on its meaning by how it is said.

Looking for more understanding about their 7 principles brought me a webpage by Vern at his “Aim for Awesome”. According to this post, the Huna philosophy is over 30,000 years old. And still in use today.

Vern gave me even more understanding of these points than I had gotten from Serge Kahili King. Simply because he was giving a more fluid translation.

Now in comparing this with the basics Levenson points out, here is another set, which I believe stays true to the underlying native concepts:

IKE
Our ideas create Reality.

KALA
We are all interconnected.

MAKIA
Energy flows to the focus.

MANAWA
Now is the moment of power.

ALOHA
Happiness is sharing your love.

MANA
All power comes from the Universal within.

PONO
Truths are as useful as proven.

You’ll see some stay the same. And some are reworded in American English just slightly without changing King’s version.

My point in doing this was to cross-check Levenson’s original work and especially some early tapes I just discovered in Larry Crane’s Abundance Course.

My idea is that any true principle would be timeless and found in all philosophies across the historical landscape. This has tended to prove out for all basic “laws” mentioned by popular self-help authors.

Out of this, I finally have a test-case “recipe” for Freedom:

Focus on sharing your love in the Now, and have all the energy and power of the Universal you can use.

A bit wordy, but I think it serves. When you are dealing with truly timeless qualities of such a broad subject, we’ve been needing something that fits beyond any political or governmental definition. Because true Freedom implies personal ability to have, do, or be anything and everything you set your sights on. Of course, this is best and only really accomplished by sharing the most creative substance in this Universe – Love.

And when you are looking for absolute Freedom, you are also looking right at absolute Happiness, as well as absolute Peace.

But go ahead, prove it for yourself…

Somebody ought to give these guys a clue: put a sock in it so the rest of us don’t have to listen to your hysterical death moans.

While on the Internet the other day (my chief form of both livelihood and information), I was visiting right-of-center Real Clear Politics – who I adopted during the last three years of campaigning because they were the only ones who averaged all the polls.

I was astonished to find, after Tax Day, how many disparate and desperate opinion (not factual) pieces their were about what had happened. It went from twisted support to knife-twisted-in-back denial. Even commentary on commentary where Keith Obermann had used reportedly sexual innuendo to describe it.

Who cares? No, really – WHO CARES?!?

There is a reason that the NY Times is estimating a 30%+ loss in advertising revenue for the next year. There is a reason for the “Big City” newspapers going under at a record pace. There is a reason that people who watch the Network news are fewer and fewer by double-digit percentages. There was even a rumor that one of the two people who watch MSNBC and CNBC (they take turns) – actually fell asleep…

Relevance.

The mainstream media can’t get used to the fact that it’s dying. A very slow and painful death (at least for the rest of us.)

It’s not that people don’t care. They don’t care for the slant, the diatribes, the couched phrases, the unabashed support of certain liberal senators.

People don’t care who is the anchor for the evening news or what sex they are – they don’t watch it anyway. (Except for the reviewers and those employed by NBC, CBS, and ABC. But these are the mourners, not the rest of the passer-bys outside the cemetery on the sidewalk.)

People do care about what is going on and what is really happening. And they know that there is more than two sides to every story – and that anyone who thinks they are some sort of expert officiator is full of more manure than any herd out there. (And they are thinking about taxing farmers for cow gas – what about newscaster and politician gas?!?)

While the mainstream media is dying off, why are local papers (and local banks for that matter) doing just fine and even – gasp – expanding in this economy?

Relevance.

What’s on the local newspaper front page? What happened locally that day. What’s on page 3 or page 5? National and World News. Oh, there is a blurb which runs at the bottom if something important is happening. But covering the election – it’s how the local voter turnout went.

Some used to say that there were bubbles on each coast (probably connected by a very long tube) where all the “really important” stuff happened. And we in the middle were lucky enough just to capture bits and pieces and overviews of it – that we should feel honored that there were three news agencies who would digest it all and present it in half-hour segments each night at dinner.

Let’s get something straight. They’re nuts.

I watch TV for the weather and get my news from the Internet. And this means that I try to avoid the National News, since they don’t carry local weather. My family likes to catch the sports as well. But that’s it.

And our TV has to be propped up when any “Network News” is on, because they are so slanted, the TV would fall off the stand if it weren’t supported.

Impartial? Look, my dogs are impartial – as long as I feed them something they can eat and they have a dry spot to lie in. My cows are impartial – as long as they have plenty of pasture or hay and water (and I keep the dogs from chasing them). Try treating a “news person” that way.

But is that a fair comparison? Well, how do the news people treat me? “This political party is horrible; that political party is saving the day.” The government did this nonsense thing today, but when the business do the same nonsense thing yesterday, they covered it as some horrible sin against humanity. Some politicians and candidates are held up on pedestals, some others are held up to thinly veiled scorn.

Do I need real facts that I can judge for myself? Yes. Do I need to put up with noise and pandering and slanted diatribes couched as “fair, impartial journalism”? Hell, no.

So around this house the TV goes off except for the morning and evening weather. We get the local “big city” paper on Sunday. I have one favorite comic strip, my brother-in-law likes the want ads, my mother likes the opinion section and the recipes (only one of which soothes the stomach – guess which…)

What’s entertainment? Nothing on TV. What’s the commercials for their “hot, new shows” — people dying, getting killed, being investigated after being killed, investigations into killings that happened years ago, specials on people who are trying to save the planet (which is being killed….) And so on. Ad nauseum.

Or there are “reality shows”. Nope. People on remote islands and deserts doing stupid antics and trying to act like the TV cameras aren’t there. Do you see any camera in a trailer park seeing people raise their kids while they hold down two jobs and their grandmother makes sure the kids’ homework gets done? Nope. We see millionaire bachelors fooling around with 20 or more women and deciding to “marry” one of them. Yeah, that’s real. Or game shows where 20 or so girls with amplified bosoms and barely dressed holding briefcases so a bald guy can tease a person into saying and doing really stupid things to “win” something in those empty cases. That’s real high-brow.

How about comedy. Go ahead – find some. Most of the half-decent comedy reruns used to fill afternoon slots and now has been replaced by “Judge Jerky” and “Judge Korky” and ‘Law & Order” reruns from five years ago.

OK, there is one show we watch when we can get it – a game show where the host is actually polite and funny at times and people do nothing but win money if they can guess the words right. Nobody dies, no one gets investigated, no one’s in prison. No sex, no violence, nobody dies (some of the jokes fall flat, but that’s no crime…)

Sure, there’s plenty of all that on the Internet as well, you could say. But there is also a lot of everything else as well – tons more. And the choice itself is relevance.

And yes, we used to watch Fox News and the Discovery Channel and even CSPAN – until some boobs decided to take it off the big dish – and we tried the small dish for awhile and got tired of paying for 20-30 channels of stuff we didn’t want for the 2 or 3 we did.

It’s cheaper to just watch what we want – local news and local weather – then turn it off the rest of the time.

Why, oh why do I have to listen and watch what some cock-eyed TV or newspaper executive – someone who has probably never had to change his own flat tire, or grow his own vegetables, or raise chickens for the eggs and stew them when they got too old – much less rescue a healthy calf that was born in an unseasonal blizzard, and raising them to a good weight only to sell them off at auction a year later.

No, most of these guys grew up in some suburb and then moved into a condo or apartment where they don’t even have a yard – working in another high-rise across town (so to speak) where they listened to other people in suits who spoke from “on high” about what advertisers thought people wanted to hear on those magic boxes in their living rooms.

And the “down their nose” attitude toward the rest of the country is infectious and spreads like the plague up and down the halls of those palatial boardrooms and studios.

Does anybody really care that Keith Obermann pouted until he got a door with a window in it for his new office? Hell, no.

Here’s a reality show I’d like to see: get all those newscasters and TV personalities and line them up in front of a series of “pre-owned” cars. No, get some real used ones. You know, the ones where nobody cares to wax them any more because it would point out the rust spots worse.

Make sure they are dressed up in their usual suits and blouses and whatnot. Give them all a wireless mic so they think they know what they are doing. Then tell them it’s a contest and they have to change that flat tire on the car behind them, get it started and drive it to the filling station 5 miles away. Good luck.

I’m often talking out loud to my Senator or the President or one of these news anchors as I’m on the third day of fixing a section of fence the rain took out last fall and the wind dropped a couple of trees on during the winter. Do any of these guys look like they could even start a chain-saw, much less run one for a few hours? How about splicing barbed-wire? Know how to herd cattle just on your lonesome and two half-trained dogs without spooking them or losing any calves? Do they know what to do with a steer who’s got bloated up from eating too much wet clover in the spring?

I’ll swap them for their job almost any day – for awhile, anyway. I could do what they do with no problem. Write some stories and read them off in front of a robot camera. Nothing to it. Really. But it would be harder on me, because I know they wouldn’t take care of my herd and I’d be way behind when I got back because they wouldn’t know how to get the equipment ready for this season’s planting.

AND – they’d get all the good food, while I would have to make do with a bunch of stuff shipped in from thousands of miles away and was about as fresh as the bottom of my boots. (Would smell nicer, though…)

- – - -

Yes, I’m the same Dr. Robert C. Worstell who has a PhD and 7 other degrees. So don’t get all snooty with me. I’ve written, edited, and published around 4 dozen books and keep up with (more or less) another two dozen blogs – that I personally post to, not some scriptwriter down a long hall somewhere. I’ve given speeches, podcasts, videos – been there, done that.

But I also know how to drive a dual-axle 10-speed transmission, a John Deere tractor with a couple less (and two of those are reverse) – and which cover crops will bring back soil fertility in a worn-out flood plain.

And I know better than to take a tour bus into the middle of a corn field in Iowa in order to “get a story” about a combine and corn harvest, only to get stuck in soft ground (not even mud.)

Oh, come on. Same folks who got a corn picker and a combine mixed up last year (“reporting” some tragic accident from the year before). Heard the same story all day, about 5 or 6 times – somewhere in there it was corrected, at least by dinner. This was on national news – not the local channel. They’d have more sense.

- – - -

Do I know about big cities? Sure – I lived in L.A. for over 20 years. Right downtown Hollywood – not in those suburbs. So I’ve seen the crime, and the pimps, and ho’s, and “bruthah’s”, and the rich and famous as well. Porn peddled on the street corners and dirt almost everywhere (except when there is a premiere where they sweep it up and hose it down and put some red carpets over it.) The bums are back the next day, just as soon as the crews take down the velvet ropes.

Which do I prefer? Guess. Where did I make more money? Guess. Does money buy happiness or accurate news reporting? Don’t even have to flip a coin on that one.

So these news guys and gals should take a hint or two:

1. Get a real job, get a real life.
2. Go do something nice for someone for a change. Quit talking everything and everyone down because your ‘spozed to’.
3. Get a real yard and plant a real garden. Raise some tomatoes and lettuce, maybe some sweet corn.
4. Meanwhile, put a sock in it and j-u-s-t – s-h-u-t – u-p, would you?

Our latest upcoming release, “Freedom Is — (period.)”

Of course, this has gone through several incarnations, and may still change. But I think I’ve finally gotten down to a basic line of application and theory which has undercut everything I’ve studied up to this point.

And I reserve the right to revise this without notice.

One of my first attempts at this came from a book I compiled, called “Mystic Marketing” – which does work where applied. Essentially, it has you hone your ability to concentrate on what you want and deliver this to the Universe to manifest. (And it still may very well be the handbook which will take that title above.)

But Lester Levenson tended to pitch the whole subject of “getting stuff” into a cocked hat with his tapes and books. However, if you’re familiar with “The Secret”, you’ll recognize that many teachers recognize the first statement above is true. And to get anything else to show up around you, there just has to be a change in your considerations.

Of course, Levenson’s Sedona Method releasing technique is the prime way to accomplish changing your thoughts and calming the mind. Just acknowledge and accept what’s there and let it go. Follow that by reviewing what it is that you want and release on both having to have it and not having it. As well as being separate from it, or having to be one with it.

Sure, that’s all a mouthful. You could also just simply have it show up by just releasing all the time. Whatever “it” is.

But all the classics, Wallace Wattles, Charles Haanel, Napoleon Hill – even the real classic authors such as Genevieve Behrend and her mentor Thomas Troward. All of these simply point out that whatever you really want is already there – the Universe is in a constant state of delivering exactly what you’ve asked for.

In fact, they all also say or support the fact that this Universe is only thought – and that all the mechanics we go through simply justify the thought. All the “scientific” studies are just ways to rationalize the miracles-as-usual which surround us. And all this scientific explanation machinery is foundering on quantum physics – where they found out that what you think predisposes the outcome of the experiment…

Our modern approach to this is to recognize that we perhaps haven’t asked for exactly what we want, but have asked for something else. “The Secret” has several teachers saying to rephrase anything with a negative in it – which has been known to NLP practitionars, but is actually an ancient datum: the mind doesn’t recognize a negative. So when you say you don’t want something in your life, it shows up in spades. Don’t = do not = do. Don’t want = do want.

Of course, our thoughts are often jumbled, because of the bad mental habits we’ve been keeping. And the Sedona Method allows us to release ourselves from the effects of these perpetual thought circles which have been keeping us suppressed.

And so the mind quiets. Then you can figure out what you really want out of life – and it begins to show up.

Until then, it’s much like walking around the living room with the lights turned off. You know roughly where the furniture is, but not exactly – and your shins take a beating until you finally find the light switch.

Now, the ability to concentrate on what you want isn’t actually something taught in our government schools. And to a great extent, we train ourselves out of this by watching TV and popular movies. We tend to deaden our mind, to turn control of it over to others. Which is why advertising found on these are so inane and stupid. Psychologists Maslow and Cialdini worked this over quite well that our motivations are what we’ve been trained by our culture to accept.

This just brings my continuing advice to the fore – that you have to turn off the TV, radio, and put aside the national newspapers in order to start improving your life. (The Internet is OK, providing you use it in strict moderation.) All of the above just keep your mind excited and reinforce the bad mental habits you’ve been carrying around with you all this time.

You are going to have to release these mental habits before you can make any real progress in getting what you really want.

OK, so have I beat this horse quite to death now?

Look – check out the Sedona Method (I have a review page above full of links for this) and see if this might not just help you with whatever it is that you are trying so desperately to attain, attract, achieve, or simply have show up in your life.

Then come back here and comment on what you’ve found. OK?
