			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was asked recently to write some articles that focused on <strong>specific problem areas</strong> people might be suffering from and explain how my unique scientific approach to their resolution might be productively applied.</p>
<p>I did.  Then I reviewed them. They were lousy. I felt they missed the mark and violated the very core principle of my unique scientific perspective.</p>
<p>I realized I had fallen into the trap of conventional problem solving techniques by attempting to advise the reader how to solve his problem.  <strong>You don’t need me for that. </strong> There are more than 108,000,000 self-help books and programs you can choose from that point of view.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/d/do/downonjess/348692_believing_books.jpg" alt="" width="177" height="300" /></p>
<p><strong>These books and programs are all built on the premise that</strong> <strong>there are real  problems to solve</strong>.  To just “remove the problem” is no guarantee that another won’t soon take its place because <span style="text-decoration: underline;">they have not eliminated the root cause of all problems</span>: the Law of OPPOSITES states that opposites are “elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable one to the other.” (Webster)   <strong>In other words, a negative problem is simply the unreal opposite of the real positive answer or solution which already exists.</strong></p>
<p>To resolve any problem we must not treat it as a reality but must focus our attention on the <em><strong>reality of its opposite</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Hear me when I tell you, <strong>“In the entire universe, there is no problem to solve!!”</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>I could tell you of how a person’s debt was removed, how a legal mess was straightened out, how a new car was made available, how animosities were removed or a chronic disease was healed.  It wouldn’t make any difference what the nature of the “problem;” each was resolved in the same way:  by applying the law of opposites <strong><em>with the scientific understanding that whatever the “problem” claims to be, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">it is not real</span></em></strong>.  No problem or discordant situation is ever supported by Law<strong>. </strong>Dealing directly with a problem is tantamount to attempting to paint out shadows!</p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>Believe this.</strong> It’s a scientific fact and not debatable: <strong>There is no problem to solve</strong> any more than there was a flat world to be made round.</p>
<p>Don’t take this statement casually.  Pause a moment and THINK about it.  Let it sink into your very being.  <strong>There is no problem to solve! What appears as a problem is an illusion with no power or identity!  It is an erroneous picture of the answer or solution that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">already exists.</span></strong></p>
<p>This being the case, to resolve ANY “problem” we reject it on the basis of its UNreality and focus on its <span style="text-decoration: underline;">opposite,</span> the answer, solution or objective already available in the infinitude of your oneness with the universe.  Maintain this mindset, <strong>to the exclusion of all else,</strong> and you will be led to take the necessary steps to produce the right, harmonious conclusion to your dilemma.</p>
<p>I don’t care if your “problem” identifies itself to you as</p>
<ul>
<li>economic</li>
<li>commercial</li>
<li>personal</li>
<li>social</li>
<li>medical</li>
<li>emotional</li>
<li>or any other</li>
</ul>
<p>You “get rid of” them all in the same way: reject it, focus your full, dedicated attention on the infinitude of the universe knowing the problem’s opposite (answer) is waiting there to reveal itself to you.  The answer is absolute and includes no opposite any more than the light includes darkness.</p>
<p>This experience has made me realize that the focus of my message should NOT be on <strong>how to solve problems</strong>, as effective as it can be.   The focus of our effort should be to secure ourselves in the infinitude of our true identity as the conscious reflection of the one infinite Life.  With this mindset and identity as the standard, no discord can be known or experienced any more than errors of any kind can be known or possible in the perfection of mathematics.</p>
<p>I have a favorite reminder placed in as many places as necessary so I can always see it .  It is a reminder that  <strong>THERE IS NOTHING TO HEAL. </strong>Establish and maintain this mindset and make it the foundation of your reasoning efforts.</p>
<p>I am already free and SO ARE YOU!    Your conscious awareness is already complete, pure and infinite. Use it.  It’s FREE and inexhaustible!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you tuned into the news this morning, you were greeted with a barrage of <a href="http://www.google.com/news" target="_blank">news </a>relating to the <a href="http://www.merinews.com/article/earthquake-in-turkey-killed-several-people/15800655.shtml" target="_blank">distressing world conditions</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5jgpEvoEeUOCK4Qd9Z-H0YVvP1jgwD9EBBSD80" target="_blank">economic conditions</a> that defy economical logic, corruption among our <a href="http://www.fredonialeader.com/news/the-undoings-of-a-governorship-1.1262807" target="_blank">government officials</a> (and others), collapsing justice system and more bad happenings than anyone should have to endure. <strong> And this is nothing new</strong>.  This pattern has been going on since mankind has been in charge of a system called a “government.”  And there is no indication that this will ever end.</p>
<p>Of equal duration has been the availability of experts and other gurus who claim to know the answers to our problems but in spite of this, there is still a lack of viable solutions; and even if by chance someone did have a viable solution, our elected officials are reluctant to implement it.</p>
<p>One can empathize with the song by <a href="http://www.hankcochran.com/" target="_blank">Hank Cochran</a>, made famous by singer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_Arnold" target="_blank">Eddy Arnold</a> in his signature song of the ‘80’s,  “Make the world go away&#8212;and get it off my shoulders.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/n/ni/nitishdddd/1262036_music.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="180" /></p>
<p><strong>Is that possible? </strong> It certainly is!  But no change is possible unless there is a change in your conscious awareness. When, and if, you can properly restructure your individual conscious awareness these inharmonies and disruptions “shall not come nigh thee” (Psalms 91:7)  This is  more than just nice philosophical words from the Bible.  It is an absolute scientific demand that we restructure our mind to be in perfect accord with scientific laws and principles.</p>
<p>There are two irrevocable, opposite conditions necessary to induce this pattern and guarantee positive conclusions.  Being <a href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/05/02/davis-goss-intro-7/" target="_blank">opposites</a>, these two conditions cannot be justified one the other, nor can they be described in term of the other.  They are opposites!</p>
<p><strong>1. We must reject any and all finite circumstances that define the nature and conditions of the problem. </strong>This demand is more than just a simple intellectual denial of the problem, it is a total rejection and separation from it.  We will still have to deal with circumstances on the human level, but they will have no substance, no reality and have no power except that which we, in our ignorance, give it.</p>
<p><strong>2</strong><strong>. It is mandatory that we accept the absolute presence and conscious awareness of our true nature as infinity, without limit, without exception, limit, boundaries, center or circumference. </strong> Infinity has no dimensions, it knows no humanly circumscribed claims, circumstance, event or condition.  Its nature and definition as absolutely prohibits there being any existence other than itself.</p>
<p>Our transition from the finite to the infinite is tantamount to going from a darkened room into the full light.</p>
<p>Living in this all-inclusive pressure-free peace and balanced environment would be realized if we were successful in implementing the condition cited in the song by <a href="http://www.anthonynewley.com/" target="_blank">Anthony Newley</a>, “Stop the world, I want to get off.”</p>
<p>Song writers often articulate things better than the rest of us.  If you can’t sing out loud, as I can’t, reach out to infinity and FEEL it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Right now you are <strong>infinite</strong>.  Just what is this “thing” we call INFINITY?  Let’s take a close look at it.  Clear you mind, be objective and follow the logic.  You will find the conclusions irrefutable.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:_U9wvw_bmhYZPM:http://www.math.yorku.ca/infinity/Images/newInfinity.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="64" /></p>
<p><strong>It is indisputable that you are consciously aware of your own existence. </strong> As Rene Descartes observed, “Cogito erg sum,” “I think, therefore I am.”  Your awareness is first person, singular, present tense.  If you are reading this, you exist and are consciously aware of it.</p>
<p>You know that<strong> you did not create yourself </strong>and must, therefore, be part of a source that DID.  You are an <span style="text-decoration: underline;">effect</span>.  <strong>An effect cannot initiate any action of and is completely dependent upon its cause.</strong> You, like this source, are all-inclusive, unlimited and unencumbered by any external influences or conditions.  This total embodiment is what we call <a href="http://scidiv.bellevuecollege.edu/math/Infinity.html" target="_blank">INFINITY</a>; described by Webster as, “that which is limitless, boundless, endless; greater than any pre-assigned finite value however great.”  This is your true identity, the only source and cause of your being.</p>
<p><strong>To be “infinite,” infinity must <span style="text-decoration: underline;">be</span> infinite; it can know only itself and cannot abide anything that claims to oppose or challenge it. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Being the incorporeal fulfillment of infinity, you are pure consciousness which Webster defines as “that which is aware; known or felt by one’s inner self; the upper levels of mental life of which a person is aware” and spiritual.</p>
<p>According to Webster, SPIRITUAL is “incorporeal; a life-giving force; an animating principle; having no material body or form,” and  LIFE as “a quality that distinguishes a vital and functional being from a dead body or inanimate matter.”</p>
<p><strong>That’s it. </strong> That’s who and what YOU are, always have been and always will be; sustained and maintained by one infinite consciousness in perpetuity.  (Ooops!  <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Time</span> is a human concept. As infinity, there is no such thing as “time;” only a perpetual NOW.  Think about this!)</p>
<p><strong>Stop right here and completely yield to this infinite conscious awareness.  Let it dominate your mindset.</strong></p>
<p>Note that there is absolutely no reference to anything finite, material or humanly circumscribed which, according to the laws of opposites, are<strong> fraudulent, unreal, misrepresentations of the truth and without substance, power or authority</strong>.  Close your eyes and let your conscious awareness expand to embrace ONLY the unlimited vastness of your true <span style="text-decoration: underline;">infinite</span> identity.</p>
<p>Don’t think “up to” this mindset from your false human sense of identity.   Reject it and quietly think <span style="text-decoration: underline;">out from</span> the infinity of your true being.   Assume a <strong>LISTENING </strong>attitude and be responsive to the truths that reveal themselves to your consciousness.</p>
<p>Your consciousness comprises only <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mental images</span> emanating as a constant presence from within you.  Despite their finite external appearance as person, places or things, your life experiences are expressions, or effects, of your own personal, individual oneness with infinity’s incorporeal all-inclusive total.</p>
<p>The nature of infinity’s being forbids, negates and removes the appearance of anything unlike itself.  This action is what we call healing.  What we call “miracles” are simply infinity’s <a href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/08/27/the-universe-is-problem-free/" target="_blank">natural laws and principles</a> in action.</p>
<p>This perspective is a radical departure from conventionally accepted habitual thought patterns and can provoke a lot of questions.  If you desire clarification on any point, please <a href="mailto: davisgoss@tds.net" target="_blank">contact me</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just heard the “news.”  I was presented with an endless barrage of old and new things to be concerned about, broken only about a lot of dribble that nobody should care about.  To legitimize their presentation, they offered <strong>comments, analyses and solutions </strong>by “experts&#8221; who don’t even agree with each other.</p>
<p><strong>It would seem as though  nothing has changed and we are still innocent victims of situations and conditions over which we have no control</strong>.  We will still accept that as a “norm” that we inherited just by virtue of being born.  As far as I can tell, it’s been that way for as long as I can remember and it looks like 2010 is destined to be more of the same.</p>
<p>I felt this way more than 50 years ago when I made a great discovery.  I discovered that I DID have control because of one underlying, and often ignored, principle that trumps all the grief the world can offer.  There actually are “creative and controlling forces of the universe” that by their very nature and definition, maintain and sustain the universe in perfect balance, harmony and perpetuity.  And, because of our inexorable oneness with it, we are its prime beneficiaries.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/l/li/linusb4/883985_business_law.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p><strong>It is the Law! <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/law" target="_blank"> </a></strong><a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/law" target="_blank">LAW </a>is defined by Webster as “rules and principles that always work and are enforced by a governing authority.”  We couldn’t escape it if we wanted to!</p>
<p>This condition is the diametric opposite of the appearance of a “world” in turmoil, threats and violence leading to what “experts” have decided will be “the end of times.”</p>
<p>“<a href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/06/18/anatomy-of-problem-solving/" target="_blank">OPPOSITES</a>”  are a natural phenomenon in the physical, finite world.  Unless we consciously do something about it, it will operate in our individual experie3nce.  It is the clash of opposites that produces all problems, chaos and confusion.  Webster defines “opposites” as:</p>
<p><strong>elements that are so apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable 			one to the other… elements  that are in extreme diametric opposition.</strong></p>
<p>To exercise our individual control and dominion over the chaos, fear. Anxiety and self- destruction, we must make a committed separation between the finite, physical world –</p>
<p><strong>FINITE<em>:  “having definite or definable limits; a limited nature of existence.”</em></strong></p>
<p>and the  infinite, spiritual universe –</p>
<p><strong>INFINITE:</strong> <em><strong>“Limitless, boundless, endless; unlimited, spiritual.”</strong></em></p>
<p>SPIRITUAL:  “Incorporeal; a life-giving force; an animating principle; having no 			material body or form”.</p>
<p>“Finite” and “Infinite” are opposites and, as such, cannot commingle or coexist.  You can have one or the other but not both at the same time.  One absolutely negates the other.  It is the Law.</p>
<p>To experience the harmony and perfection of the infinite universe, we must completely  REJECT  the negative elements comprising the physical “world” and embrace the all-inclusive infinity of the universe.   There are no other options. The choice is yours.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“Positive Thinking”</strong> seems to be the panacea to the resolution of all problems.  <strong>Establishing a positive mindset </strong>is the main theme of self improvement gurus from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Vincent_Peale" target="_blank">Norman Vincent Peale</a>, <a href="http://www.naphill.org/" target="_blank">Napoleon Hill</a> and<a href="http://www.dalecarnegie.com/" target="_blank"> Dale Carnegie</a> to modern day motivational and inspirational proponents.  Webster reminds us that MINDSET is “a fixed way of thinking, a mental attitude that determines and influences events and circumstances.”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/s/sp/spanishale/1121962_meditation.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p>While a positive mindset can produce positive results, <strong>any deviation into a negative mindset can cancel the positive intent and yield negative results.</strong></p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have heard some well respected motivational speakers proclaim a position that, from my perspective, will perpetuate less than desirable results because they are devoid of any demonstrable operating, scientific principles.</p>
<p>Too seldom, they do not realize that <strong>positiveness is a precise, scientific natural law and principle and not a mood or emotion that can be turned on and off</strong>.    Webster tells us that anything POSITIVE is “that which is real, not speculative, not fictitious and logically affirmative.  It is that which has or expresses actual existence.”  Nothing wishy-washy here!</p>
<p>At one time or another, I think we have all witnessed a new devotee to this philosophy: they put on a silly grin, look like they just swallowed a goldfish, proclaim all is sweetness and light while throwing rose petals at the feet of the devil hoping that somehow he will be appeased.</p>
<p><strong>Positiveness is not a game. </strong> It is a power that is unopposed, irrevocable and cannot be successfully challenged, debated, circumvented or modified.  Positiveness is an<strong> infinite power</strong> that is a law of annihilation to anything that would opposes it. <strong> Positiveness cannot tolerate anything unlike itself</strong>; it is a self enforcing law that is totally impersonal.  Its operation is not something you or I can influence no matter how fervently we want the outcome to “go our way.”</p>
<p>I’m reminded of the story of a young school girl who tried to maintain a positive perspective following a geography test.  Apparently she began to have some doubts about her answers.  because  in her prayers at bedtime, she was heard to say, “&#8230;and please, God, make Chicago the capitol of California.”</p>
<p><strong>Attempts to direct our positive attitude toward preconceived conclusions, however well-intentioned, can be frustrating, misleading and, too often, disappointing.</strong></p>
<p>I know a person who was just informed that it would be a good idea to seek alternative employment.  Being an advocate of positive thinking, he built a good positive attitude about employment and implemented a plan to get a job.  What he failed to realize was that his attitude to “get” a job, implied that he did not have one.  Our minds will produce its content so his intent to “get” a job carried a negative connotation.</p>
<p><strong>Be alert!</strong> “I want” is another way of saying “I don’t have” and is likely to <strong>produce a lack</strong>.</p>
<p>He would have been better off had he proclaimed that in the infinity of his true identity he was ALREADY employed and structured his  mindset to be responsive to the “events and circumstances”  that must, by law,  unfold.  This is “positive expectancy”; knowing the answer BEFORE it happens.</p>
<p>Like any “law,” positiveness has an implied opposite.  “Opposites” according to Webster are “elements that are so far and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable one to the other.”  The opposite of “positive” is “negative” which Webster defines simply as “the opposite or  negation of something.”  It is, therefore, without power, authority and is self-destructive.</p>
<p>So when invoking a positive mindset, keep <strong>“you”</strong> out of the way as you would when invoking the laws and principles of mathematics when you balance your checkbook.<strong> Keep your mind open to provide the right mental environment (mindset) that will permit the law to express itself as the “events and circumstances” that comprise your entire life experience.</strong></p>
<p>This action is mandated by law.  And LAW is defined by Webster as “a principle that always works and is enforced by a governing authority.”  And what is that “governing authority?”  It is included in Webster’s definition of natural laws and principles:  “the creative and controlling forces of the universe.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Listening to the experts on the news, we are told that we are in an <a title="Financial Crisis" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/10/01/financial-crisis/">economic crunch</a> with more hard times ahead.  Financial institutions and economists echo this crisis and further amplify the idea of threatening &#8220;depression&#8221; and/or &#8220;recession&#8221; depending on their particular point of view. This is THEIR view.  I don&#8217;t agree with them because I choose not to live in their world of perpetual chaos, conflict and confusion.  They belong to the &#8220;I.E.A.&#8221; club: &#8220;Isn&#8217;t Everything Awful&#8221;.  I refuse to join!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.livingbetterforever.com"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-128" title="recession" src="http://davisgoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/recession1-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="137" height="137" /></a></p>
<p>We live in a world where <span style="text-decoration: underline;">every</span> situation is challenged by some implied OPPOSITE.  Webster defines &#8220;OPPOSITES&#8221; as, <strong>&#8220;elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable&#8221;. </strong> Dare to accept this natural law of opposites where &#8220;true&#8221; and &#8220;false&#8221; cannot be justified to each other.  Only one can be true.</p>
<p>This true perspective cancels the old discordant interpretation of reality. It reveals the omnipresence of natural laws and principles that are defined by Webster as, <strong>&#8220;the creative and controlling forces of the universe&#8221;. </strong>These forces, by their very nature and definition, cannot include any idea of economic imbalance, chaos or corruption. They operate in perpetuity independent of all negative beliefs that would oppose them.</p>
<p>I know how abstract and impractical this seems, and we ask ourselves, &#8220;What about the national debt, mass unemployment, corruption, violence at all levels of society, the apparent collapse of the judicial system, and on and on and on&#8221;?  What about them?  Because they cannot, by law, be justified to the true nature of the &#8220;controlling forces of the universe&#8221;, they are, by definition, artificial, fraudulent, unreal appearances and have no more substance and reality than the flat world or the appearance of railroad tracks converging on the horizon.</p>
<p>We can choose to reject any concept that would challenge these natural laws and principles and embrace Einstein&#8217;s observation that, <strong>&#8220;No <a title="Take the Problem Out of Problem Solving" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/09/17/take-the-problem-out-of-problem-solving/">problem </a>can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.  We must learn to see the world anew&#8221;. </strong>A problem is the opposite of its answer and, by definition, cannot exist unless that answer or solution was already available.</p>
<p>Unless we are alert to it, the constant rehearsing of economic collapse, or any other negative positions, impacts every facet of our personal, professional, corporate and national mindset.  MINDSET is defined by Webster as,<strong> &#8220;a fixed way of <a title="Thinkers Are Achievers" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/05/05/thinkers-are-achievers/">thinking</a>; that which determines and influences events and circumstances&#8221;.</strong> &#8220;Events and circumstances&#8221; comprise everything we experience in our lives.</p>
<p>The fact that all this is true is academic until you can make it work in YOUR consciousness.  Then, and only then, will you prove them to be true and viable in your world of &#8220;events and circumstances&#8221;.</p>
<p>It is your responsibility to maintain this mindset and allow the &#8220;controlling forces&#8221; to express themselves in and as <span style="text-decoration: underline;">your</span> individual experience.  <a title="New Discovery of Old Secret" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/09/17/new-discovery-of-old-secret/">You determine your own circumstances</a>.  If you were to focus your efforts on attempting to improve bad economic conditions you would be giving reality to the unreal and contribute to compounding the problem rather than awakening to a solution.</p>
<p>With more than 50 years&#8217; experience as a creative consultant, with particular expertise in  problem solving, I have proven that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">nothing</span> exists external to your own individual conscious awareness.  The events and circumstances that appear external to you are effects and effects, by law, cannot induce any action of their own.   They are not now,  never have been and never will be a cause. They are without power or authority and must be rejected as spontaneously as you reject the idea that a mirage will put water on the desert.</p>
<p>From your new altitude of contemplation, there is nothing to improve, adjust, heal or change.  &#8220;The creative and controlling forces of the universe&#8221; are already complete and perfect and you are the full beneficiary of this irreversible law.  When the  power of these facts impact your inner feeling,  watch your &#8220;world&#8221; change and be in concert with the natural rhythm and balance of the universe!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Following is the text of a brief overview to my unique approach to problem solving that I recently gave to the members of the <a href="http://bninh.com/chapter_locations.php?dosearch=1&amp;c=52">Riverside Referral Chapter of BNI</a>-Business Network International in Concord, New Hampshire. </em></p>
<p>My approach to <a title="New Discovery of Old Secret" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/09/17/new-discovery-of-old-secret/">problem solving</a> is a radical departure from traditional, confrontational methods but I think you&#8217;ll find it refreshingly different and uniquely productive. Don&#8217;t be fooled by its simplicity.  Give up any preconceived notions you may have and follow the logic.</p>
<p>This program is built on the premise that success, prosperity, freedom and  pressure-free life experiences are as natural to us as <strong>wet is to water</strong>.  They are an integral part of our being.  If you are not experiencing a full measure of these characteristics right now, it is simply because there are some unresolved problems in you world that are preventing it from happening.</p>
<p>Webster defines a <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/problem">PROBLEM</a> as,</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>&#8220;An unsettled question without an answer; a question raised for inquiry, consideration or solution; a source of perplexity and vexation.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Some years ago, I was sure I had more than my fair share of problems.  In my desperation, I made an exciting discovery.  I discovered that:</p>
<p><strong>There is only one primal cause for all problems.  And when that root cause is known, understood and accepted, all problems, regardless of their nature or apparent severity, will disappear as surely and as effortlessly as darkness disappears in the presence of light. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>This discovery is based on one simple natural phenomenon:  The law of OPPOSITES.   Look around you, at the world in which you &#8220;live, and move and have your being&#8221;.  Notice how opposites abound everywhere and in every situation. We have up &amp; down, light &amp; darkness, left &amp; right, true &amp; false, assets &amp; liabilities, profit &amp; loss, freedom &amp; bondage, abundance &amp; lack and on and on and on.  I doubt that you can think of anything that does not have an implied OPPOSITE.  Webster defines <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opposites">OPPOSITES</a> as</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable one to the other;</strong> <strong>elements that are in</strong> <strong>extreme diametric opposition.</strong></p>
<p>All problems are caused by our trying to justify two opposites that, by their very nature and definition, cannot possibly be justified one to the other.  Problems are a clash of opposites.  We can have one or the other, but not both at the same time.  One will absolutely dominate and annihilate the other.</p>
<p>Let us symbolically represent these opposites with a <strong>square</strong> and a <strong>circle.</strong> Let the PROBLEM be represented by a black square.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.csulb.edu/~karenk/20thcwebsite/438final/ah438fin-ImageF.00001.jpeg" alt="" width="149" height="149" /></p>
<p>The opposite of a problem is its answer or solution.  Let&#8217;s represent the problem&#8217;s ANSWER or SOLUTION with a white circle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.livingbetterforever.com"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-102" title="whitecircle" src="http://davisgoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/whitecircle.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="160" /></a></p>
<p>These are opposites and cannot be justified, mixed or commingled.</p>
<p>All answers and solutions are positive.  All problems are negative.  Webster defines  <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/negative">NEGATIVE</a> as:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The opposite or negation of something&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Follow this reasoning:   Anything negative,<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> including your problem,</span> is not a &#8220;something&#8221; by itself.  It is a no-thing.  It is unreal, fraudulent and fictitious.  It is a void, or UNawareness of the answer.  Its very claim to existence is dependent upon there being a positive &#8220;something&#8221; to be negative about.  And that positive &#8220;something&#8221; is your answer or solution <span style="text-decoration: underline;">which already exists in the infinitude of the circle. </span></p>
<p>For example, you cannot have a counterfeit dollar bill without there being a genuine dollar to be a counterfeit of.</p>
<p>The square is negative so its opposite, the circle, must be <a href="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/positive">POSITIVE</a>, which, by Webster&#8217;s definition, is</p>
<p>&#8220;<strong>That which is real, not fictitious, not fraudulent and logically affirmative.  It is that which has or expresses actual existence.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>We seem to live in two worlds.  One world is unreal, fraudulent, problem oriented, limited, chaotic and in constant turmoil and conflict.  But we also live in another world of perpetual harmony, balance and predictable rhythm without dimensions or opposite.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>From the infinite to the infinitesimal, this real, infinite universe, is, has been and always will be controlled, maintained and sustained with unimaginable precision by irrevocable natural laws and principles which Webster defines as:</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;The creative and controlling forces of the universe&#8230;the universe being,</strong> &#8220;<strong>The</strong> <strong>whole body of things without limit or exception and accruing everywhere&#8221;. </strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Anything and everything real is contained in this infinite universe represented here by the circle.</p>
<p><strong>Want to resolve any problem?</strong> First, you must NOT give it reality by believing it is real and then confronting it as an enemy or obstacle over which you must exercise control.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>You must completely REJECT the problem</strong>, look away from it knowing it is simply a fraudulent, unreal representation of the answers you are seeking. You must see the NOTHINGNESS of it.</p>
<p>Second, you must <span style="text-decoration: underline;">consciously</span> embrace the infinitude of the universe, this <strong>&#8220;whole body of things without limit or exception&#8221;,</strong> and do so with an open &#8220;listening&#8221; attitude and with <strong>positive expectancy.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Positive expectancy </strong>is knowing the answer is already available to you BEFORE you are consciously aware of it.</p>
<p>By opening your mind and embracing this expectant mindset, you will have done all you can do.  Through the power of &#8220;the controlling forces of the universe,&#8221; your solutions or answers will reveal themselves to you as ideas, directions, adjusted events and circumstances, emotional redirection, etc.</p>
<p>I know how abstract this method sounds and some of you might think I am full of crabs and ice water.  But one thing is for certain:  these principles are totally impersonal and irrevocable. These laws work simply because they exist.  We don&#8217;t make these laws, but we can learn how to USE them.  And when we use them properly, all problem will disappear with predictable, scientific certainty.   I have proven this to the benefit of a widely diverse client base for moiré than 50 years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m looking at a screen saver on my computer that depicts fish swimming around aimlessly doing whatever it is fish do.  They apparently have plenty to eat and have no worries, fears, or deadlines. They have no concerns about the stock market&#8217;s position, the condition of the real estate market, unemployment or any of the events and circumstances  that dominate our people world.  I don&#8217;t think they give a hoot about high gas prices! Maybe they do have problems but if they do, they don&#8217;t show.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.livingbetterforever.com"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-91" title="fish" src="http://davisgoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/fish-150x150.png" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s quite likely they are as oblivious to our people problems as we are to their fish problems.  But we are. You and I don&#8217;t live the way fish do.  We have normal activities that comprise a continuity of changing situations that we handle with ease. Then, once in a while, a situation comes along that we can&#8217;t handle quite so easily.</p>
<p>Our instinctive reaction is to resist the problem&#8217;s invasion into our otherwise peaceful life. We put up a protective wall against it.  Now the struggle begins.  This confrontational approach to problem solving is negatively oriented and produces negative results in the form of stress, anxiety and frustration .</p>
<p>These situations we call &#8220;problems&#8221; (<strong>&#8220;an intricate, unsettled question without an answer; a question raised for inquiry, consideration or solution&#8221;</strong>. <em>Webster</em>) come to us spontaneously without any apparent fault of our own.  However, as soon as the answer or solution is known, the problem disappears just as spontaneously. Our job is to set in motion those steps necessary that will reveal the right answer.</p>
<p>As <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Einstein" target="_blank">Einstein</a> noted,<em> &#8220;No problem can be resolved from the same level of consciousness that created it.  We must lean to see the world anew&#8221;</em>.  To be spontaneously successful, we must depart from the accepted, habitual confrontational method and approach problem solving as a logical continuity of reason, facts and natural, scientific laws and principles.</p>
<p>Take an objective look at the world around you and realize that it is comprised of opposites.  Up &amp; down, left &amp; right, assets &amp; liabilities, freedom &amp; bondage, positive &amp; negative, etc., etc.  Try as you may, I doubt that you can imagine anything that does not have an implied opposite.  OPPOSITES are defined by Webster as, <strong>&#8220;elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable one to the other&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>A black square and a white circle are symbolic of opposites.  They cannot be justified one to the other.  One cannot be described in terms of the other.  The square is black, has finite dimensions and is comprised of straight sides and square corners.  The circle is white and comprises one continuous curve without beginning or ending.  In every sense of the word, they are, and always will be, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">opposites</span>.  By their very nature and definition they cannot be commingled.  You can have one or the other, but you can no more have them both at the same time than you can experience darkness in the presence of light.</p>
<p>It is when we attempt to justify two opposites that problems occur.</p>
<p><strong>Herein lies the secret to problem solving.</strong> Equate the problem to the square and the solution or answer to the circle.  They are OPPOSITES and cannot be justified one to the other.  The problem is <strong>negative</strong> and the answer or solution is <strong>positive. </strong> By Webster&#8217;s definition anything <span style="text-decoration: underline;">negative</span> is not a &#8220;something&#8221; of itself<em>,</em> but is <em>&#8220;something that is the opposite or negation of something&#8221;.</em> As such, in order for it to claim an existence, there must be a positive &#8220;something&#8221; (a positive answer or solution) to be negative about.  According to Webster, anything <span style="text-decoration: underline;">positive</span> is, <em>&#8220;that which is real, not speculative, not fictitious and logically affirmative&#8221;.</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>The only conclusion we can draw is that the entire universe is infinitely and singularly &#8220;real, not speculative and logically affirmative&#8221;; it is complete and totally devoid of any opposite.  Webster defines <span style="text-decoration: underline;">universe</span> as,<em> &#8220;The whole body of things observed and assumed including the whole without limit or exception and accruing everywhere&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>The only place a problem can even seem to exist is in your own consciousness.  You and you alone are uniquely aware of the content of your consciousness.  This <span style="text-decoration: underline;">mindset</span> determines the events and circumstances that comprise your life experiences.</p>
<p>I know how abstract, unrealistic, impractical and over simplistic this perspective sounds but for  more than 50 years I have proven its viability in my own personal and professional experiences and to the benefit of a widely diverse client base that has included many of the giants of American business.</p>
<p>Its efficacy is no more subject to debate than the fact that 2 + 2 = 4.  It is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">law</span> which is defined by Webster as, <em>&#8220;a rule or principle that always works (and is) enforced by a governing authority&#8221;.</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Problem solving&#8221; is really a misnomer.  Any belief or concept we identify as a &#8220;problem&#8221; is really a nonentity and has no real existence and therefore there is no law to support it.  We don&#8217;t deny its appearance but we do deny its reality.  It is tantamount to seeing the railroad tracks meet at the horizon.  We are aware of its appearance but through intelligent reasoning, we are not influenced by it. We &#8220;destroy&#8221; a problem by seeing it as a no-thing&#8230; a mirage.</p>
<p>This <span style="text-decoration: underline;">resolving</span> is not confrontational.  All we need to do is quietly reside in the infinity of our consciousness (the circle) and provide the proper mental environment that will allow the answer or solution to reveal itself.</p>
<p>Now, with the pressure off, you can devote your time to other pursuits.  I don&#8217;t wish them any bad luck, but perhaps you could go fishing and give those guys something to think about.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some years ago I felt that I had more than my fair share of <a title="New Discovery of Old Secret" href="http://davisgoss.com/2008/09/17/new-discovery-of-old-secret/">problems </a>and that I was trapped between the sword and the wall with no means of escape.  I felt trapped in circumstances over which I had no control and that these circumstances were destined to destroy me.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.livingbetterforever.com"><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-86" title="descartes" src="http://davisgoss.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/descartes-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>In this period of desperation, I made an exciting discovery.  I discovered that there is only one prime cause of all problems.  Just ONE.  And when this root cause is understood and properly implemented, all problems, regardless of their nature or apparent severity, will disappear like snowflakes on a hot griddle.</p>
<p>Key to this discovery was the realization that the universe is a conglomerate of natural laws and principles.  Webster define<strong>s &#8220;natural laws and principle&#8221; as, &#8220;the creative and controlling forces of the universe&#8221;</strong>.  And he defines &#8220;universe&#8221; as,<strong> &#8220;The whole body of things observed and assumed including the whole without limit or exception and accruing everywhere&#8221;.</strong></p>
<p>The world is telling us that, in order to resolve these discordant situations, which we call &#8220;problems&#8221;, we must face up to them, confront them as enemies, do battle with them and beat them into submission. This is a confrontational approach to problem solving that produces more frustrations than solutions.  It is the prime cause of pressure, anxiety, stress and every malady known to man.</p>
<p>If we wish to experiences our natural condition of success, prosperity and freedom in our personal lives, if we want to be more profitably productive in our professional lives and if we want to be untouched by national and international turmoil, logic demands that we must depart from traditional problem solving methods and adopt a new method that can assure positive resolutions.</p>
<p>There are lots of books, lectures, seminars, gurus and self-appointed &#8220;experts&#8221; who purport to have the answer to effective problem solving.  While most of them are highly motivational and inspirational, they miss the mark because they are based on suppositional theories, philosophical abstractions or academic &#8220;isms&#8221; and &#8220;ologies&#8221;. They lack any demonstrable operating scientific principle that can assure successful conclusions with predictable accuracy.</p>
<p>To be successful, we must challenge popular trends.  We must pursue an alternative course that is based solely on scientific, natural laws and principles in a continuity of facts, logic and reasoning that can assure positive problem solving results with predictable certainty.</p>
<p>Think about what is in your mind the moment you awakened this morning.  Without any support from any outside influence, you knew that you were a thinking entity.  You were aware of something that gives you a unique identity.  You know how the French philosopher <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descartes" target="_blank">Rene Descartes</a> must have felt back in the 15<sup>th</sup> century when he also recognized his true identity and declared to the world his  familiar revelation: &#8220;Cogito ergo sum&#8221;  which is Latin for &#8220;I think, therefore , I am&#8221;</p>
<p>You need no external evidence to confirm the fact that your very being is that of being  consciously aware. Further, in this rational awareness you can reasonably conclude that you did not create yourself and must, therefore, be the effect of a greater cause.  You KNOW it because you know that you can consciously declare, &#8220;I am&#8221;, &#8220;I exist as an individual conscious entity&#8221;.  You can say with absolute surety and agreement with Rene Descartes, &#8220;I am&#8221;.  First person, singular, present tense!</p>
<p>Note that this awareness takes place within your conscious awareness and needs no external evidence to support it.   It contains no finite, corporeal parameters.  It is totally incorporeal or spiritual, which, according to Webster, is &#8220;a life-giving force; an animating principle; having no material body or form&#8221;.</p>
<p>Because of the very esoteric nature of such a concept, it is next to impossible to articulate it in words.  It is a concept that comes from within consciousness itself and whose substance is an intangible &#8220;knowing&#8221; or &#8220;awareness&#8221;; a &#8220;feeling&#8221; that defies finite description but is as real and permanent as honesty, love, compassion, and other intangibles that are the very essence of your being.</p>
