The Magnificent Woman

And now “the great satan” has captured another ‘human’ and forced him to slaughter 17 innocents. Apologize! Yes! Freedom VS Slavery. we choose! Personal Significance for the future of freedom. You personally are important and valuable in the battle for freedom, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Some people are privileged.  They seem to be living extraordinary healthy lives. Gratitude is essential to understanding.  Because the human mind is constantly being assaulted by thoughts that would attempt to challenge or destroy that which is functioning well and creating a beautifully healthy family, children, contribution and heritage.

How quickly our unattractive very human features (emotional reflexes) attack with covetous doubt, envy, criticism, skepticism, bitterness, and self defeating distractions instead of celebration, encouragement and gratitude for their contribution to our better world.  Remember, this is Gratitude for the ability to catch ourselves and recognize that we too are invited through visions from Heaven to contribute our potential best to the picture.

There is so much struggle in the lives of people around us.  And I still contend the struggle is part of the intelligent design, challenging each of us to discover and pursue our own very best contributions and refuse our too many excuses.  Since we are free to choose we must freely choose to help each other choose more wisely and produce the best possible lives available.  It takes a village to raise a child and we want to cultivate, nurture and encourage the best village possible.

The healthy growing prospering human is still subject to assault which comes from so many different directions it can be scary.  Yet to keep this message simple is to teach each other principles that form the foundation of healthy human thinking.  There is a tug of war inside the heart mind body soul spirit of every human, fighting for control over our lives. Freedom versus Slavery.  Which will you choose? Gratitude reboots the machine and offers each of us another chance to choose a vision from Heaven.

Here is a wonderful illustration of discovering emotional anatomy and slowly benefiting from skills not pills. But rather using pills to build the skills.

Finding it very difficult to express himself in his mid twenties, he really believes he has suffered from attention deficit disorder and dyslexia his whole life. “I have a really hard time focusing, coping, listening and understanding, my mind will go somewhere out of my control. It has always affected my school, even when I desperately want to, I can’t. I pretend to be normal. I have a hard time keeping jobs. People see me but I’m not really there. People are always getting irritated with me because of things I fail to finish. I have no career. I have not had successful relationships. I work really hard but I feel disconnected, blocked. I panic and close down. It feels like I’m in a dream state.

“Low doses of Ritalin help me feel better. It gets me out of that foggy place. It’s easier to start and finish. My mind has calmed down allot. The choice to push myself is much more clear. My enthusiasm has returned. It’s easier to catch myself pretending like things are not happening, ignoring the obvious. Truth, honesty and freedom? Single breath relaxation? How do I apply this wisdom?

“Even with the medication, it’s hard for me to be in a group. Growing familiar with my freedom to choose, I am realizing I struggle with my natural reactions to close down and protect myself from being hurt. I disconnect, shut down, close off, zone out and then come to, only to ask what happened. I feel guilty, frustrated, embarrassed and ashamed, feelings that remind me of how I felt around my father. He was emotionally abusive. We always felt uncomfortable around him. It was really hard. We moved allot and I struggled with new relationships, teachers, friends, peers, women and men. My low self esteem. I must have been born that way. My ADHD, dyslexia and insecurities made it harder.

“Freely choosing, single breath relaxation with gratitude, I catch a glimpse of the man that has always been calling to me in my dreams, the good one I always imagined but could never believe was real as I wrestled the ugly feelings, as I escaped into my numbness, away from my father’s relentless angst.

“Now, in this tug of war, instead of zoning out into my self sabotaging shame, I give thanks for this gift of vision from Heaven. Through the gift of this dream, I am invited by glimmers of a person I had given up believing could be real. My life can be better. I go there in gratitude in my single breath relaxation. Freedom to choose, instead of slavery to my reflex of shutdown. My confidence in gratitude is growing. Deep within my guts, my whole story changes, just for a moment. I see the tug of war. I will go on. Now I take my medication on time. I can tell when I miss it but I’m learning to choose my responses instead of just zoning out. My mother says I’m getting better. I passed my exam.”

Personal responsibility neglected enslaves the majority.  We are unprepared for the chaos coming.  It is my hope to contribute words that will help us navigate this complicated passage in world history.  “Intelligent Design” offers simple, elegant, principles which work together as a guidance system intended to inspire our “Freedom to Choose”, an essential legacy to the world, necessary for our survival.

Government is made up of people too. This explains their addictions to over spending promises in order to get re-elected (now 15 trillion in debt). And it is we who elect them. It also accounts for their fantasies of power and control, believing that legislation will some how correct the human condition.  Even the best politician is powerless against the momentum of entrenched bureaucracy, influence peddling and corrupt cash.   Thus the grassroots ‘Occupy’.

Leadership must accept, explain and motivate personal responsibility as our grassroots legacy of freedom.   Only through our own free choice will we join into explaining how the mind works in this tug of war, Freedom vs. Slavery, one person at a time.  Freedom to choose discovers there are eternal principles which together help to shape the language capable of inspiring others to join in, Intelligent Design.

Only through our freedom to choose will we discover the next strategy to compete upon the world stage.

As a physician, challenged to make contributions to the health and well being of people everywhere, I am fortunate to recognize and attempt to describe principles that govern the way our human mind works.  To me these principles are simple, elegant, genius, and recognizable by a majority of those who take the time to understand them.  As I have claimed, these principles are actually intended to impress us so that we will freely choose a wiser way.   The world needs each of us now more than ever.

In keeping with these principles, I will begin this summary of ideas by reminding the reader that any discussion of this topic triggers a tug of war inside the heart, mind, body, soul and spirit of the participants.  So with freedom to choose as the foundation of all the other principles I will be discussing, there is immediately observable an opposition that is using the same human organs of mind and heart to confuse and confound our efforts, slaves to emotional reflexes.

My theory is based upon what I claim to be reproducible observation. To begin with, I am claiming there is an emotional anatomy that is as real and observable as physical anatomy and likewise similar and unique.  However, where physical anatomy is observable via visible and tangible attributes, emotional anatomy requires visualization, conceptualization, imagination, intellectualization and familiarity to understand.  This would prove to be impossible if it were not governed by simple, elegant, principles.  These principles I believe to be part of an intelligently designed guidance system intended to inspire personal freedom to choose. And through freedom to demonstrate a consistent genius within its structures, it is most rewarding to choose wisely.

Gratitude reboots the machine and offers freedom to choose again, more wisely, more rewarded.

Using four separate identifiers, I claim there is a region within human emotional anatomy that can be found by anyone willing and motivated to examine and discover freedom to choose.  Again I claim this region within the human emotional anatomy is part of an intelligently designed guidance system built into the structure of the human mental apparatus.

Through the acceptance of personal responsibility for our own choices, each of us ought to be capable of confirming this observation if it is a reproducible truth.  This freedom cannot be forced, it must be personally chosen.  (For example: Consider the slow and systematic collapse of the USA social political economic system.  Here we see the tug of war between stories in the macrocosm.  However, this collapse of social architecture does not change the intelligent design of freedom to choose within each individual–Thus the legacy of freedom can be understood as our personal responsibility, another form of ‘occupy’.)

Your willingness to continue reading is a free choice.

I intend for this description of “Single Breath Relaxation” to offer a simple technique that will show you personally how to coordinate your precise focus of attention and identify a specific location within your own emotional anatomy.  Through familiarity with this location within your own mind body soul spirit Emotional Anatomy, you will discover there, freedom to choose.  “Gratitude reboots the machine.”

The first of four specific identifiers I use to verify this hypothesis is your memory function.  Within your mind’s eye memories, have you ever had an experience that was totally peaceful, totally calm, totally relaxing, and made memorable by these unique features?  Can you name it?  Can you use word identifiers to label this place as it will be helpful toward recognizing a unique location within your emotional anatomy.  Some will say “no”, there are none.  Some will find one or two.  Others will have many, similarly rewarding memories stimulated immediately, as these are memories stored in this region of the anatomy and are identifiable and located by similar emotion.  “When the mood changes, the movie changes.”

The second of four specific identifiers I use to verify this hypothesis is found in physical release.  The most easily accessible physical locator for this function are the bodily feelings of relaxation felt upon exhale.  More specifically, take a deep breath through your nose and exhale rapidly through your mouth.  The physical feeling of relaxing diaphragm and chest wall is usually recognizable.  Other more dramatic forms of physical release are found upon emptying an urgently full bladder, also during bowel movement and orgasm, and more subtly when entering the shower, bath or bed.  There is, of course, overlap with the memory function except in the immediacy of exhale.

The third of four specific identifiers I use to verify this hypothesis is found through the use of your intellect.  We are using and developing a vocabulary in this effort to describe and grow familiar with your human emotional anatomy.  The intellect is well developed and participates simply and effectively in identifying this anatomy of gratitude.  For example, what do you say when you get a gift, “thank you.”

The fourth of four specific identifiers I use to verify this hypothesis is found within the emotions.  Again overlapping with the memory functions, can you identify the feeling of gratitude.  Where and when in your life were you truly grateful?  Can you feel it?

Can you, through practice, coordinate all four functions simultaneously?  Visualize memories, feel gratitude, release the breath and say “thank you”.  I call it “single breath relaxation”.  This momentary, laser beam like, focus of attention, when accurate, I claim is designed to be an essential part of a guidance system built into the DNA transmitted architecture of the human being.  Gratitude reboots the machine and offers a momentary window of opportunity for freedom to choose.

A guided missile is on target only 1% of the time.  We breath approximately 1,000 times per hour.  1% of 1000 is 10.  That means that if we return to this location within our emotional anatomy once every 6 minutes, we are returning to the intelligently designed location within each of us which offers freedom to choose.

Here is where your personal responsibility comes in.  It is an unusual approach to the challenge of thinking that asks of you to return to an identifiable location within the “Emotional Anatomy” repeatedly so that freedom to think can become your habit and desire.

Remember this habit of thinking depends upon your free choice.

What fascinates me is that it seems only through gratitude are we offered this opportunity.  I have been unable to identify any other emotion that consistently liberates my mind from other more complicated tangles and much less easily identifiable gnarly knots of emotional anatomy.  To check it out for yourself requires a revisiting of the very gratitude that allows you to recognize this emotional anatomy in the first place.

I am claiming this to be evidence of an intelligent design for which “thank you” is the only logical intellectual response.  If it were any more complicated than this, we would be doomed to endless arguments about the source of our freedom to choose.  Instead we are offered gratitude for intelligent design without which we would have no reason to be grateful for such simple, elegant, genius.  Each of us would have different ideas about how to attain freedom and how we are to return to it.

Freedom to choose.  A personal responsibility.  One person at a time.

Here in lies your personal responsibility in the tug of war between stories.  Within your own heart mind body soul spirit there is a battle for control over your being.  Which will you choose, freedom or slavery?

No matter how deeply wounded and scarred your emotional anatomy, your freedom to choose allows you to identify the pathway to freedom and begin making new choices beginning with “thank you”.

Gratitude reboots the machine.  Which will you choose? Freedom or Slavery?  Intelligent Design.

Freedom to choose.  A personal responsibility.  One person at a time.

This is our personal responsibility in the tug of war between stories.  Within our own heart mind body soul spirit there is a battle for control over our being.  Which will we choose, freedom or slavery?

No matter how deeply wounded and scarred our emotional anatomy, our freedom to choose allows us to search for and identify our own struggle to find the pathway to freedom and begin making new choices. Try starting with “thank you”.

Gratitude reboots the machine.  Which will you choose? Freedom or Slavery?  Intelligent Design.

For Example:  The desire to exercise and eat healthy.  (Two thirds of us are over weight).  In many, this allows a very clear recognition of an opposition.  “I want to but I don’t.”  Habitual thought asks, “Why.?”  The mind gets lost in the many gnarly knots of self justification trying to answer this question.  The reasoning suggests that if I can answer the question “why?”, then I can fix the problem and proceed to accomplish my goal.

The paradigm shift:  The moods, feelings, attitudes, imagery that demand an answer to “Why?” are the opposition.  Freedom to choose discovers the tug of war, choose.  Change our diet.  Change personal habits. Choose to approach the problem by accepting personal responsibly for recognizing what is getting in the way.  (Perhaps, “I don’t care.”  The emotional cancer consuming our social systems.)

When I can recognize what is getting in the way, through gratitude, I find a new freedom to choose, a chance to change my response.  The obstacles are as many and varied as finger prints.  No two people are identical.  Yet there is the simple genius of intelligently designed human emotional anatomy:  “Gratitude reboots the machine.”  This new chance to choose begins to recognize familiar habits and patterns that prevent my healthy response.  This is War and I really do care.  If it were not this simple, we would be doomed.

‘Yes but’ you said you would… And so you made me mad… And what’s the matter with me?… It must be my fault… It makes me feel so guilty… You clearly don’t love me or you would change… I can’t take it any more… No one else cares, why should I care… Your tone of voice changed… I can’t believe you said that… It’s your fault… It’s my fault… You don’t understand… I’m such a fool for even trying… Fuck You… I Love You… You’re impossible… Impossible man kind… I choose to care.

No greater love has anyone than he who lays down his life for a friend.  Give and receive.  Compassion for our fellow man because they don’t know what they are doing.  This is war and these are our family and friends.  Forgiveness.  Gratitude reboots the machine.  Freedom to choose.  Intelligent Design.

This theory is based upon what I claim to be a reproducible truth and direct observation. To begin with, I am claiming there is an emotional anatomy that is as real and observable as physical anatomy. However, where physical anatomy is observable via visible and tangible attributes, emotional anatomy requires visualization, conceptualization, imagination, intellectualization and familiarity to understand.

This would prove to be impossible if it were not governed by simple, elegant, principles which I regard as intelligently designed and part of a guidance system intended to demonstrate a consistent, intensional genius within its structure.

Gratitude reboots the machine and offers freedom to choose again.
