			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>We have all been shaped by teachings imposed on us since birth.  Today, we are victimized by a world in conflict, chaos, confusion corruption and contradiction.  Beyond finding some guru to help us, we are offered no option other than to take some pills, accept it, learn to cope with it and hope for the best.  None of these options offer any realistic long range solution.  To be free, we would do well to listen to the words of Dr. Einstein.</p>
<p>When he was asked what gave him the most trouble in his efforts to discover what turned out to be his revolutionary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity" target="_blank">Theory of Relativity</a>, he said the most difficult thing he had to do was to forget everything he had been taught up the age of 18.</p>
<p>He realized that if he were to discover anything truly new, he must depart from conventional concepts and be free of the traditional non-productive thinking of his colleagues.   He must be creative and begin his reasoning from a fresh, impersonal, unencumbered premise.  For us to be free of adverse influences, we, too, must depart from the false teachings of the “preachers of doom”, heed Dr. Einstein’s observation and “go and do likewise”.</p>
<p>“Creativity”, according to Webster, is “The ability to be productive through imaginative skills”; he also tells us that “productivity” is “to establish results, benefits and profits”.</p>
<p>We must change our perspective.   This is not always easy, but there is no other option if you are to imbibe a creative life-altering creative perspective.</p>
<p>Yield to these simple rules when confronted by any adverse circumstances.</p>
<p>1. Find some quiet place to relax and get comfortable.   Close your eyes and clear your mind of any preconceived ideas and thoughts.</p>
<p>2. Contemplate the one fact (“Something that has actual existence, a piece of evidence having objective reality”. Webster) that you can know without any support from any external source or influence.   You KNOW that you are consciously aware and are a conscious thinking individual.  Know that you can truthfully declare, without any imposed influences, that “I am”, now.</p>
<p>3.  Accept the fact that you did not create yourself.  Therefore you must be the effect of a greater cause that did.  You are an independent, individual expression of one infinite cause: consciousness.  This fact is not debatable but is a fundamental natural law that can withstand any challenge.</p>
<p>4.  Assume a “LISTENING” attitude.  We have been trained to listen to “noises” but now we are going to listen to the silence of your stilled consciousness.  You will begin to be aware of creative ideas from within your consciousness.</p>
<p>Because you are aware of nothing other than your inseparable oneness with this one infinite consciousness, these ideas must be in concert with universal, natural laws and principles which a defined by Webster as, “the creative and controlling forces of the universe”.</p>
<p>The absolute nature of this infinite consciousness precludes the possibility of there being anything that would oppose its unchallenged supremacy…without limits or exceptions.</p>
<p>5.  Being alone and at one with infinity, you can see that nothing can exist external to your conscious awareness.  Everything originates from within because infinity knows no “out there”.  Whatever you are aware of exists only as in image in your mind.  Providing the proper environment of your quiet, listening attitude, ideas will appear to you in whatever tangible, practical form will best promote your harmonious life experiences.</p>
<p>There is no evidence that any finite person, place or thing has an existence separate from your personal mental mage of it.  EVERYTHING of which you are aware must, by virtue of natural laws, principles and definition, exist only in your individual conscious awareness.</p>
<p>Maintaining this mindset, you will be able to separate yourself from the appearance of a turbulent, finite world and its claim to power. It is only by this scientific departure from concepts founded on fraudulent finite human concepts that one can prove the efficacy of this approach whose root cause is based in the infinity of a perfect universe.</p></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/c/ca/canna_w/1279051_gift.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="230" /></p>
<p>The content of your consciousness, or mindset, is the most powerful force in the universe.  This content is comprised of IDEAS.   <strong>Ideas</strong> are “mental images in thought” (Webster) and reside only within your own consciousness awareness, or, mind.</p>
<p>The quality of your life experiences, then, are directly proportionate to your control of the content of your <strong>mindset </strong>which Webster defines as:</p>
<p><strong> “A mental attitude that determines and influences events and circumstances; a fixed way of thinking”</strong></p>
<p>It is a fundamental scientific fact that nothing exists external to your own individual conscious awareness.  This awareness appears to us as the “events and circumstances” comprising our entire life experiences.</p>
<p>These IDEAS are FREE and without limit.  They appear to our conscious awareness when we provide the proper mental environment.  We do this by getting quiet and assuming a LISTENING attitude.  This will clear the way for the right ideas to flow from within your infinite, spiritual, incorporeal being or identity to your conscious awareness and mindset.</p>
<p>This is not always easy to do because our mind seems to wander and thoughts come and go like popcorn.  This tends to dilute our best efforts to focus and establish a firm, productive mindset.</p>
<p>Toward establishing and maintaining a constructive mindset, I have developed an <strong>exciting item</strong> that will help you maintain a steady flow of motivating and inspirational ideas to reinforce the constancy of your mindset  For many years I have personally proven its effectiveness for myself and to the benefit of many clients.</p>
<p>This item is a uniquely dynamic product.   At the risk of seeming evasive, I have tried many times to describe it but doing so is tantamount to attempting to describe music without hearing it.  Even pictures of it do not communicate its dynamic impact.  Its dramatic effect lies in its being <span style="text-decoration: underline;">visual</span> so, in fairness, it needs to be <span style="text-decoration: underline;">seen</span> and<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> used</span> to be of long term benefit to you.</p>
<p>I want you to EXPERIENCE the effect of this product without any encumbrances or preconceived opinions.  To do so, you have to see it and use it unconditionally.  Rather than offer an “if you don’t like it send it back” guarantee.   I want you to keep it and use it. … forever.</p>
<p>Toward this, if you are one of those rare individuals who is genuinely intent on restructuring your mindset, I am offering this item <strong>FREE to the first 20 of my blog followers who request it.</strong></p>
<p><a href="mailto: davisgoss@tds.net" target="_blank">Just send me your name and mail address</a> (which I will keep confidential) and I will send it out to you immediately.  <strong>No charge, absolutely FREE, no obligation and pre-paid postage and handling.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Why am I doing this?</p>
<p>1. Because it departs from ordinary procedures and challenges traditional “promotions”</p>
<p>2.  because it conforms to my unique, scientific  approach to “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Science-LIVING-BETTER-FOREVER/dp/1425937225/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1278452201&amp;sr=1-2" target="_blank">LIVING BETTER FOREVER</a>”</p>
<p>3. because I firmly believe in the “Freely ye have received, free give” <em>(Matthew 10:8)</em> philosophy</p>
<p>4. I have proven many times that  <strong>“We prosper by giving”.</strong></p>
<p>If you have not already done so, you would do well to read my book, “<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Science-LIVING-BETTER-FOREVER/dp/1425937225/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1278452201&amp;sr=1-2" target="_blank">The Science of LIVING BETTER FOREVER</a>.” I&#8217;d love to discuss the book with you after you&#8217;ve read it. As always, feel free to <a href="mailto: davisgoss@tds.net" target="_blank">email me </a>any questions you have.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/r/ra/raichinger/848055_in_meditation.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></p>
<p>It is not my intent to scare you, but let me ask you a question.  <strong>Have you ever taken a real close look at the world environment you awaken to each day?</strong> It is the environment into which we were born.  It is world which we have blindly accepted and adapted to ever since.</p>
<p>Anything and everything you observe and experience in the world around you is totally subjective,  ie. within you.  It is a fraudulent unreal illusion.  It is finite, limited, negative, powerless and without substance, law or principle.  It has no real identity and is totally illusory.  It is material, temporal and the embodiment of ignorance.  The only place it exists is in your consciousness…not  ”out there” somewhere.</p>
<p>It warrants no more attention than the <a class="zem_slink" title="Tooth fairy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_fairy">Tooth Fairy</a>, images on a movie screen or any other fantasy.   Through our ignorance and false teaching we have built our own imaginary kingdom and filled it with make-believe stuff.</p>
<p>I know this is hard to accept because it is counter to everything we have been taught. But it is in perfect conformity to scientific rules and principles <strong>(“The knowledge or discovery of the operation of laws, principles and facts subject to proof…not subject to speculation, conjecture or any assumption without proof.”)</strong> We can believe Aldus Huxley when he said “Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.”</p>
<p>Like it or not, this is a portrait of our human, earthly “life.”  Like begets like and, because of its negative, unreal nature, it is incapable of producing anything unlike itself.  With ignorance as its premise we can expect no effects other than chaos, confusion, conflict and corruption.  Even the pseudo-mind that experiences these discords is unreal and exists only as an inverted misconception of the one infinite true <a class="zem_slink" title="Consciousness" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness">consciousness</a>.</p>
<p>In the world of illusions and shadows, there is only one thing we can know of a certainty.  It is that you and I, individually, are consciously aware of the fact that we exist.  Because we are not aware of any option, (you can’t know what does not exist) we give these appearances credence, look to them for our welfare, supply and the solution to our problems.  We trust this make-believe world to give us life and sustain our health and longevity. We assume it will give us peace, harmony and balance in our life experiences.  When this doesn’t work, we consult with gurus or we pray to some man made images hoping that whatever form we are praying to, will somehow bypass natural laws and intercede in our behalf.</p>
<p>As long as we, in our ignorance, embrace this fraudulent environment, we can expect to experience its devastating effects.  The German philosopher <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe" target="_blank">Johan Wolfgang von Goethe</a> (1749-18320 got it right when he observed, “<strong>There is nothing more frightening than ignorance in action.” </strong></p>
<p>Wouldn’t you give anything to be free of this disruptive pressure cooker world and be harmoniously guided by the same natural laws and principles that keep the planets in their orbits, control the seasons and give life to all growing things?</p>
<p>Surely there must be a reality we can count on.  There is. Gratefully, we don’t have to remain the victims of the destructive world we were born to. We have the option of ignoring the unreal human existence and focusing our full attention on the reality of the universe; the one infinite, all-inclusive, perfect, unlimited Consciousness:</p>
<p><strong>“That which is aware, known or felt by one’s inner self. ..the upper levels of mental   life of which a person is aware.”</strong></p>
<p>This consciousness is YOUR consciousness, your only true identity.</p>
<p>How do we make the transition from the false to the true?  Gratefully we don’t have to!  We are already there.  All we need to do is to become consciously aware of this fact, accept it and know it is forever committed to our well being.  As long as you are consciously aware of this, with a positive expectancy and the exclusion of everything else, you embody the entire infinite, perfection and power of the one Infinite universe. <strong> It is the Law.</strong></p>
<p>“This is a spiritual universe… Trying to change a material universe or trying to humanly interfere with what is going on in the world, will get you nowhere. There is no permanent peace in fighting the evils of the word with the weapons of the world….the evils of the world are not power.” (<em>Awakening Spiritual Consciousness</em>,<a href="http://www.joelgoldsmith.com/" target="_blank"> Joel Goldsmith</a>).</p>

<p>An uptight world grabs our attention and we respond to it.  There seems to be ample justification for our worries, frustrations, anxieties and fear of the future just by virtue of being born into a world seemingly on a path of self destruction..  <strong>We need a diversion; a new perspective.</strong></p>
<p>I am reminded of the story of some New York business men who heard that in the then-wild west there were great opportunities for new, profitable enterprises.  They decided to check it out so they boarded a train to Texas.  At the train station, they boarded a stage coach that would take them to their hotel.</p>
<p>The stage coach was driven by a grizzly old experienced driver who drove his horses at full gallop along narrow dirt trails, around tight curves and frighteningly close to drop-off cliffs.</p>
<p>His greenhorn passengers felt sure this old man was bent on self-destruction and was going to take them with him!</p>
<p>When the driver saw his passengers were cowering in absolute fear and hanging on for dear life, he turned to them and said, “Say folks.  If you want to enjoy this ride you’ll have to learn how the set loose!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Living in a turbulent world we all need to learn how to “set loose.”  We need to reserve a quiet place in our mind into which we can retire to set loose for a minute.</strong></p>
<p>A few years ago I saw the following that gave me a new perspective.  I don’t know what genius originated it, but it’s worthy of review every now and then:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do a cartwheel</li>
<li>Sing into your hairbrush</li>
<li>Dunk your cookies</li>
<li>Play a game where you make up the rules as you go along</li>
<li>Step carefully over sidewalk cracks</li>
<li>Kiss a frog, just in case</li>
<li>Blow the wrapper off a straw</li>
<li>Stay up after your bedtime</li>
<li>Eat desSert first</li>
<li>Put way too much sugar on your cereal</li>
<li>Giggle for no reason</li>
<li>Make cool screeching noises every time you turn a corner.</li>
</ul>
<p>There!    Now I feel better. <em><strong>What would you add to this list?</strong></em></p>

<p>Some extraterrestrials came to explore the earth when they noticed an abundance of hard, brown objects under a tree.  They hailed an Earthling to inquire about what they were.  The Earthling told them they were pecan nuts that had come from the pecan tree.  They totally rejected this explanation because it was obvious that it was physically impossible for these rock-hard nuts to come from the skinny little twigs that comprised the tree.</p>
<p>Had they been informed of the process by which this happened they would not have rejected what to us was <strong>obvious</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>To our observation, life in this finite world is comprised of persons, places and things interacting with each other producing various events and circumstances to which we must adjust on a daily basis.</strong></p>
<p>Stop right here and realize that you were born to this environment and whatever you know about the “ways of the world” are what you have <strong>learned from others or have figured out for yourself.</strong></p>
<p>From his book, <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Consciousness-All-Now-Life-Completely/dp/1577332024/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1276528544&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank">Consciousness is All</a>, </em>Peter Dziuban writes: “Right now, ask yourself what it would be like if absolutely all that exists is a state of Pure consciousness.</p>
<p>“What if there were nothing physical or material anywhere, but only Consciousness …only a state of pure intelligence or Mind?  There would be none of the limitations that go with a material world full of physical objects because there isn’t one…..Sound incredible?  At one time, the round earth sounded incredible too.”</p>
<p>We must realize that we are presently in a continuity of expanding intelligence and discovery that began when our primitive forebears survived without the benefit of our present day technology  and “civilized” intellect..  Looking beyond the “obvious,” there is a higher consciousness awareness and level of understanding that cannot be assimilated by our puny human intellect.  Without a transition into this higher dimension of conscious being, <em><strong>we will remain imprisoned in the finite world of limitation, chaos, confusion and conflict.</strong></em></p>
<p>Find a quiet place, get comfortable, empty your mind of all thoughts and LISTEN.   Sooner or later, you will experience the indescribable impact of a new consciousness.  In this state of enlightened awareness you will have made a transition that silences the chaotic human mind and gives you that “peace that passeth understanding” and you will be embraced in the one, all-inclusive infinite consciousness…. YOUR true consciousness.</p>
<p>We find, through Mr Dziuban and others, that <strong>nothing exists outside of one’s individual consciousness awareness</strong>.   The universe is infinite and, by its very nature and definition, does not include anything finite or negative.  This scientific fact confirms the unreality of everything we are aware of in the hostile environment we have inherited and in which we find ourselves.</p>
<p>“All is infinite mind and its infinite manifestation for God is all in all… Since God is All, there is no room for His unlikeness.” (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Science-Health-Scriptures-Authorized-Study/dp/0879523069/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1276528719&amp;sr=1-1" target="_blank"><em>Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures</em></a> by <a class="zem_slink" title="Mary Baker Eddy" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Baker_Eddy">Mary Baker Eddy</a>)</p>
<p>As Dr. Einstein tells us, we must “learn to see the world anew.”  We do this through observation, “An act or power of recognition, seeing or sensing the way in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed.” (Webster)</p>
<p>Let me give you a question that will challenge your powers of observation as the pecans did for the Aliens:</p>
<p>I have with me a physically tangible object that nobody in the entire universe has ever seen.  You’re probably thinking that this is some sort of a trick because if nobody has ever seen it, how can you possibly have it.</p>
<p>If you don’t know the answer, it’s because you, like our Aliens, are limiting your observing to the “obvious” and are overlooking the simple answer that’s right before you.</p>
<p>(If you can’t figure it out, <a href="mailto: davisgoss@tds.net"><strong>contact me</strong></a> and I’ll give you the answer.)</p>
