The Physics Of Guru!

You’re gonna love this! It’s amazing…

This is something I learned from my friend Cyril Smith, at Salford University.. with a twist on it that he missed!

An adult man standing with his arms outstretched above his head is approximately the right size for a quarter dipole aerial at a radio frequency of 10 metres wavelength, 30 MegaHertz frequency.

So what? That just happens to be the longest wavelength that will reliably reflect around the underside of our atmospheric layer called the ionosphere. The ionosphere is what makes ham radio possible: bouncing signals around to any part of our planet (electromagnetic waves, remember, travel in straight lines).

Now also, if I human were able to somehow cohere all the power that he/she omits, it’s quite possible to get a burst of up to 1 kilowatt (harder to sustain it). That’s plenty of power to transmit radio signals.

So, this may be yet another “Goldilocks effect” (physics that works “just right” for human life). Because it means that we are the right size and can generate enough power to transmit our personal energies to anyone on planet Earth.

The bit that Cyril missed (he’s never published it anyway) is that arms outstretched like that is the classic guru or priest posture for influencing the masses. That means gurus can transmit and their message will reach anywhere! [could apply to the Nazi salute, too, I’m thinking] They really do sway their followers by transmitting a real signal, acknowledged by physics. Nothing woo there!

The problem is, not the transmitting, but the receiving. Out of all the “noise” that’s pumped into our electromagnetic environment, how do we tune into the exact signal we are seeking?

More on that later.

One last point: LOTS of people standing with their arms outstretched could create a much more powerful transmission. Mexican wave, anyone?

We are radio human.

Happiness is the journey but where to?

There’s a great saying by the Dalai Lama: happiness is the journey, not the destination. It rightly emphasizes that happiness can never be postponed; you don’t wait for something to happen, in order to become happy.

In fact people who think only: “I’ll be happy if she changes her ways,” or “I’ll be happy once I’m rich,” are never going to be happy. Fact.

Relying on outside sources to be happy is a sure way to postpone happiness forever!

Real happiness, real contentment, is enjoying your journey towards some desired goal.

I love riding steam trains (it’s a thing I’ve had since I was a kid, OK?). But I couldn’t care less where we are going to! I love the sound of the engine, the smell of steam and hot oil, the rumble of the trucks and carriages… It’s the journey that inspires me! That’s my idea of steam happiness.

But of course, the train has to be going somewhere. So the destination comes into it. It’s the same in life. Continue reading

Study Can Save The World!

I first wrote this piece in 1992 (almost 20 years ago, well ahead of the pack). It made a profound impact with one radio station in Monte Carlo, where I was living at the time. Apart from adding one sentence about electronic toys, which were barely on the horizon at the time, it’s pretty much as I wrote it.

Imagine being asked how you would save the world; what answer would you give? How could you justify it? For the sake of this discussion, it might be simply said that the only thing really wrong with our world is Man and his insane depredations, which threaten both him and the ecosystem on which he depends.

We are therefore talking about a way to limit or prevent human madness from manifesting its extreme destructive potential, or better still, eliminating it altogether, so that we collectively and individually think rationally and come up with survival strategies, that are supportive and empowering decisions which enhance and nurture our civilizations, instead of blighting and destroying them or the planet.

Suppose you were limited to just one approach to the challenge and nothing more; you had to decide upon a  course of action that you could foresee would, taken to its ultimate conclusion, free the world of all its misery and ills, so that wars, disease, poverty, injustice and strife became a thing of the past.

Do you think it is even possible to come up with such a comprehensive plan of action? Should we try – or are there very good reasons to leave things as they are and let history take its course?

If it is agreed we should make this gallant attempt, what factors would you try to eradicate or change? What positive qualities would you try to introduce? People have had many ideas of this kind in the past, which sadly haven’t worked. So in this line of questioning we would have to be sure we knew how these failures had come about and how to conquer the factors that had caused all those worthy earlier efforts to fail.

The Supreme Test Of History (Success)

“Make it so!”

This popular catch phrase from the second generation Star Trek series encapsulates a key philosophy of living: do what needs doing.

There is an attitude to life which says “Do your best!” Not good enough! You don’t stop at doing your best: you do whatever needs to be done.

RULE: THE ONLY TRUE MEASURE OF COMPETENCE AND SUCCESS IS SIMPLY: DID THE TASK COMPLETE, YES OR NO?

Forget the excuses, obfuscations, problems. The supreme test of personal competence is simply the answer to the question: did you do the action you had to do?

We had a look in an earlier section at the concept of excuses, justifications and Whys. Excuses and justifications are get-outs. They answer nothing; they promote and reinforce failure. Shun these imposters.

A why is a real reason — but only if it leads to a resolution of what was non-optimum. Otherwise it remains merely an excuse. We especially shun that “why” of Fate; if it is not under your control, it isn’t a legitimate reason for anything.

We come back to the supreme test: just DID IT or DIDN’T IT happen?

Task-Oriented vs. People Oriented

You will hear debate sometimes over individuals who are supposed to be “task-oriented” and those who are “people-oriented”. Task-oriented people are those who judge by the result, whether or not it happened. The task rules the state of play. People-oriented individuals believe they put people first and the task comes second.

It isn’t nearly as clear cut as this. Continue reading

10 Rules Of Healing Logic – 2

Thanks a lot for your input from article 1:

It was great to have so much feedback and help, asking for “strong logic”, rule #10. It’s a subject that fascinates me and excited strong emotions, the way poetry can do. In fact there is a kind of poetry in sweet logic, don’t you think?

I see thousands of you were on the case and over a hundred good ideas were posted.

The commonest suggestion was “If it ain’t busted, don’t fix it”. Certainly basic logic there. But that’s my #1 in disguise. If something is working, do more of it. Thing is, the tendency that people have is to change things, even if it’s working. So you lose the good; maybe it stops working altogether.

I have written elsewhere that everyone has taken the first step to millionaire. You sold something, right? Well, if you had kept on and on and on doing just that, you could have processed $millions. But you stopped!

It’s sort of a joke; but it sort of isn’t either! Continue reading

Keep it Simple Stupid! 10 Rules of Healing Logic.

How simple and basic can success strategies get? I already posted my own look at a success formula. But for decades I’ve been looking at REALLY SIMPLE, REALLY STUPID logic and how people violate it, or ignore it.

Good thought structures and even half decent logic has the power to heal and transform. I know that. Too bad that most people don’t get it and choose magic and fairy talk, over cool reason!

Magical laws and stuff didn’t get us down from the trees and building TVs, computers, cars and rocket ships! Only what Samuel Firestone called “hard thinking”, as opposed to what I call “fluffy pink thoughts” of the New Agers.

I’m still waiting for #10 on my list of 10 Silly Basics of Reason. See if you can point me towards it, with ideas of your own.

This is absolute down low and dirty bottom-rung undercut LOGIC!

This is my Nine-So-Far Basics of Reason. Don’t swallow them all at once, or you’ll get indigestion!

  1. If it works, keep doing it!
  2. If it doesn’t work, stop doing it!
  3. Whenever something good happens, there is ALWAYS a reason for it. Find the reason and strengthen it.
  4. Whenever something bad happens, there is ALWAYS a reason. Find the reason and eliminate it.
  5. What works, works! If it’s worked before, it’ll likely work again!
  6. Life can change in an INSTANT. All it takes is a decision.
  7. If you don’t know, find out!
  8. Communicate. Make yourself known. If you don’t, nobody will know you are there.
  9. If it works one day, it will work ANY day.
  10. ???

That 10th on the list is out there, just waiting for me to grab it, for a perfect 10 out of 10!

#9, I got from my patients and medical expertise: If you can feel well, with no symptoms, on any one day, you can feel well every day! There is, by definition, nothing wrong, nothing busted, nothing missing, no genes, nothing PERMANENT, if you can have even just one day of good health! Never settle for less…

Well of course it applies to everything, not just health, otherwise I wouldn’t bring it up here. If you can sell a $million of widgets one day, you can sell a million every day! Get to work and see that you do! If you can paint a masterpiece one day, you can do it over and over.If you can write a page, you can write a novel. Get the idea?

Your comments are welcome.
