About this ebook
This is a book about change. Real change. Lasting change. In contrast to the new age idea of instant life altering tech, my approach attempts to address what actual transformation of a human life. This will not be instant or easy, that lie is promoted by the success/ self help industry to sell books and courses. Pandering to the instant gratification mentality of the consumerist model.
Wanna knock the brakes off this self trance~formative trip you are on? You have to take a serious hard look at yourself and the dynamics of others (people and ideas in your head and theirs). The master key is approaching or achieving some form of objectivity or at least the awareness of our own prejudices, beliefs, etc. Please note the human tendency to CATEGORIZE phenomena to think at all. Just like language itself is a symbol, a representation of data representing stuff. See?This confounding attribute of humanity is known amongst those that measure stuff. Bias must be accounted for at all times. Imposing preexisting narratives on things immediately removes other interpretations. This issue is very well known in law enforcement/ criminolgical circles. You have to look at what is in front of you to see all the evidence. Once you may think you know what happened, you have completely biased yourself. The opposite of interpreting facts, especially when lives could be at stake.
It is these very ‘other interpretations” that are by definition the driver of innovation. The spirit of inquiry is what drives any investigation forward. Therefore the fellow traveler would do well to exercise rigorous self inquiry to devise one’s own thoughts and feelings and memories (biases) thoroughly. This is the ‘grist for the mill’ and no doubt can keep you occupied plenty.
It is also the only way true change is possible. Period. Check please?!
A long range process to be sure. In fact all is in a state of perpetual flux, therefore, all truly is process. Goals are awesome to create and attempt to achieve, don’t get me wrong. The idea is the momentum of driving at something itself versus losing one’s mind when that exact thing doesn’t turn out. It’s the journey that’s the trans-formative part. And if you do achieve it? Make another. Bruce Lee stated it this way, “every day, kick the ball forward...”.
Let's do this.

Here I sit, reeling at the task at hand. Wondering how to explain what I experienced. In all its glory, terrifying, painful, and ultimately healing and restorative. I still can’t believe I survived to tell the tale.
Enlightened self-interest causes me to speak of it at all. By virtue of ‘the law of reciprocity’ it is necessary to reach out into the ether, for all the clients and patients are stable and moving along their respective courses. Formerly broken vessels in body and mind incapable of coping/moving with the current of their lives. The hurting throng of humanity in microcosm. They’re dealings with me completed and I find myself comfortable yet still wanting to see what lies beyond. Therefore, to receive more necessitates giving more, but to whom? The collective you then.
A word of import to the reader. It is an interesting foible of the human condition which causes each one of us to reflexively insert our own imaginings and ascriptions onto the world of forms. The egoic tendency to superimpose our own narrative upon what is there. This becomes stronger as an individual adopts ideologies derived from perceived authoritarian structures such as religion and education. Science and the cult of empiricism where phenomena are only meaning or valid if it already exists and is approved of by the status quo. Even if this only exists in your mind, it introduces supreme bias and therefor distorts what is. My advice is to become aware of this tendency of the reflexive egoic function of the mind when engaging new or challenging information. The late Dr. Christopher Hyatt challenges us to monitor our internal reactions as we attempt to interface with the information field. Immediately this is at once seemingly impossible. I tell you it is not, even for a moment, allowing a new concept into your consciousness for example, without refuting/rebutting/ reacting to the info can be transformative. One must accept that previously held notions could be WRONG. Often the fellow travelers only focus on this prejudice of mind and reject what is different to the ‘party line’. Practice withholding your belief and disbelief together and just be present.
Presence. To be truly present requires a quiet and
