It is thanks to Chris, from MySiteMyWay (mysitemyway.com) that I got this new skin properly installed and working. It was not an easy task as Cloudflare was actively messing up the JS and CSS of the theme's skins.

After disabling Cloudflare and waiting a few hours for the new settings to propagate, we found that effectively, those skins that were active during Cloudflare were having their CSS style sheets corrupted. Solution was thus to remove them, reinstall them and reactivate them. This was the solution!

I can recommend MySiteMyWay in every respect, great themes, very modest pricing, outstanding support!

Great Moment. And you were there, Nelson. You are good in documenting events. And that was an important one, for that matter!

There seems to be a bug in Safari because I have chosen to display this Wordpress Gallery as 'Slideshow'. I have tried all the other options and commenting was possible with Disqus, but when I choose 'Slideshow' the comment box is completely unresponsive. I will report this to Disqus. If this happens to you on a Mac, please try again with Firefox and you see – it works.

Nelson, your photos are always meaningful. You have a special talent for documentary of all kinds. I like this collection.

And your Lumix really stands out for the sharpness of the lens while it's low-light capacity could be better (quite grainy images when light is scarce). But overall it's a great camera and video camera for the price tag.

I am especially fond of track 3. Wonderful arrangement of various sounds designed to induce relaxation int he listener. Tracks 5/6 incorporate the sounds of the ocean which I really like. Track nine was perhaps the best, if we can really make such a judgement about creative work. I think I have come across this particular track before as the various sounds comprising of the arrangement sound I happen to recognize. I really like this one the most.

Re: What is Spiritual Sufficiency?

Very well said, indeed! And this is especially true when you see the vast amount of people who believe in the scarcity paradigm. Wisdom teachers all over the world agree that what you want to receive, give it first! Why is that so? There is a reason to it. It has to do with resonance, and vibration. When you desire a certain thing, whatever, this corresponds to a vibration. In order to trigger the law of attraction, you need to set this vibration in motion. And you do that by giving that what you want to receive, in the first place. The Ayahuasca plant teacher, back in 2004, told me when I want to receive love, I should give love first! It was a good lesson.

In a spiritual reality, nothing can be lost and therefore, nothing can be taken, but while we perceive this physical reality, the idea of losing when you give or gaining when you take, are inbred into the worlds thinking.

Re: Toward Social Change

Jason — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 07:55:56 -0000

I felt inspired by this thought-provoking book on social policy making. I instantly envisioned that it introduced a radically new paradigm for the handling of the paraphilias, and the prevention of violence within society. I wish to publish here some of my own thoughts on what ought to be the ideal program which could function as a substitute for conventional forensic psychiatry, which takes the combative approach to treatment of the paraphilias/pedophilia.

In my view, we should only use the combative approach as a last resort, that is, when pedoemotions consultancy services have proven to not be of service to the individual in question, for only then can we resort to conventional treatment. I was debating to myself what are exactly the positions I would take regarding all of this and I see that the combative Western psychiatric approach should only get used if all else fails because it is not 100% sure that in cases of violence, be it physical and or sexual, the patient will respond positively to alternative modalities.

To make it more clear what I mean, I regard conventional treatment of paraphilias in general, and pedophilia in particular, to be very much on the ‘combative side’ as it seeks to eradicate the condition. The author’s approach, which is termed Pedoemotions Consulting (PEC), however, is different. It is, as the term suggests, an approach that proceeds through consulting, counseling, and the like. Now, I believe this is a good point of departure; if this approach fails, however, I feel that conventional treatment should be applied, but only serve as a last resort, that is, in the event that the patient is not responsive to PEC.

The idea is that those who infringe upon the code of conduct must seek assistance from consultants indicating it is mandatory but not to be forced upon the individual. If the services are mandatory in cases where violence occurs within the intimate relationship, then the policy should be such that attendance is forced, an obligation, for we may not be able to reach out to the individual in question if he is not compelled to attend consultations. Services rendered to individuals involved in nonviolent relationships will remain in supervisory state, in which professionals touch base with the partners to ensure all is well. However, in cases where infringement has occurred, consultations must remain forced upon the person in order to ensure the wellbeing of the child partner.

The author’s underlying idea is that encouragement should be placed on a perception shift, from viewing fellow human beings as shady, as the saying goes, to one that entails good character and therefore fully capable of positive conduct. This is in my opinion very much reflective of current global events with respect to how humans treat fellow humans. For example, in southern Thailand, the Muslim minority are viewed by the government as terrorists, as an adversarial or ‘impossible’ human as the author would call it, and therefore the relationship is one of conflict, hostility as the government engages in arrest, detention, torture and the like of its fellow Thai citizens, under the pretense that said group is a threat to the country. This kind of social engagement can and has led to civil war as unfair and inhuman treatment of the Muslim community which the Thai military, with their awesome power and ‘above the law’ status, as recently claimed in a documentary film by the Filipino filmmaker, Orlando De Guzman, prompts anti-government feelings within the said community. At worst, radicalization can occur (extreme rebellion), and what results is active ‘pay back’ between both sides as they fight each other to the death. So the realistic perspective here, in our example, should, if I may use this word, be such that the government sees its fellow citizens as people full of potential, good character, capable of good conduct, instead of viewing them as ‘sexual terrorists’, that is, people who should be subject to incrimination and detention.

Section 10/12 is obviously of great importance for the eventual social change or paradigm shift. This shift will include the incorporation of more pleasure into daily life which will reduce instances of violence to a great extent. The violence research by James W. Prescott and similar research support the idea of allowing for increased pleasure in life and putting less emphasis on aggressive manufacturing of legal policies whose aim is to further suppress pleasure thereby causing even more instances of illegal activities because the laws are not being followed anyhow.

Some of the author’s remarks express righteous anger over just how far policy makers have went in order to supposedly protect children, while in truth, the safety of children in our society clearly has deteriorated ever since child protection was set in place.

In section 11/12, we are dealing with the theme of male affection as we have come to know it and this new life paradigm being forwarded encourages more intimate exchange between males, men and men as well as men and boys as a means of developing Yin elements for providing a counterweight to their predominantly Yang or aggressiveness, the latter of which society deems as proper.

The tone is set at the very beginning so the reader knows what the nature of the chapter will be about. Regarding the header, I would change it to ‘homoemotional affection gets males into balance’ as ‘homoerotic’ in modern society denotes homosexual and as such, homoerotic is similar if not considered the same as homosexual, denoting sexual activity or behavior. Homo-emotionality is a workable concept/idea to denote affectionate exchange between males, be it adult-adult or adult-child, and this concept was meant to denote warm or caring touch between males to include but not limited to tactile contact such as hand shakes, pat on the back/shoulder and buttock as it occurs in major sports such as football and baseball, as well as hugging or other nonsexual exchanges between males.

In addition, I would even say that gay mens’ overly ‘feminine’ behavior could be an unconscious attempt to desperately touch base with the female aspect, the Yin element or anima which was perhaps absent in childhood, no exposure to the feminine thereby causing the individual in question to demonstrate highly noticeable mannerisms such as the bending of both wrists, overly stressing one’s voice to resemble that of a woman’s feminine sounds, as evidenced by the repeatedly usage of the word, ‘oh’, and so on and so forth. Being attracted to women as personal friends but not wanting to make love with them as part of the vandalized love map, I guess is desire for the male penis (part of the screwed-up identity).

By the way, the notion of ‘vandalized love maps’ is a creative scientific term coined by the late pediatric medical psychologist, John Money, to denote atypical sexual orientations, basically anything non-heterosexual. He once asserted that disturbance in childhood such as a pedophile contact could lead to an atypical love map.

The author references a study by Jeffrey Satinover for demonstrating that the sexual nature of some gay men is rather compulsive; in fact there is a popular saying that this desire is to ‘fuck and suck 24/7/365’. It may be that behind this compulsion, there is a way of making up for the extreme lack of sexual experience with males when these subjects were young boys or teenagers. To summarize, I find the author’s assumptions to be reasonable if not convincing.

By the end of 11/12, what is voiced is this sense of society as being the culprit behind vandalized love maps due to child rearing that does not incorporate a comprehensive educational package in which sexual literacy is a main element, so as to developing the child as a fully capable individual member of society. Indeed the highly visible gay culture in America, in general, and places like San Francisco, in particular, seem to demonstrate new found acceptances in the free world; however, this is due to the fact that it primarily involves adults. That is why I think society has granted freedom which is then subsequently turned into another consumer culture article.

The lack of a comprehensive, liberal human sexuality program in the educational system could very well be a lacking element that has led to widespread, highly visible vandalized love maps in the form of formulated adult orientations identified as being gay, or bisexual, lesbian or even pedophile. A child who is unable or not allowed to ‘sample’ various ‘fruits’ in childhood will be ill-equipped in the teenage years and early adulthood to handle his or her psychosexual formation as no prior experience in which to reference and build upon a future identity.

So in short, the author’s line of reasoning makes sense as the current established educational format coupled with societal practices to limit if not totally cut off sexual exploration in the young renders a child with no foundation in which to develop a solid identity. Of course, at worst, children who are more profoundly affected will become gay, pedophile or the like. While others who are not such, will perhaps harbor a violent nature and will exhibit such violent nature when triggered. Of course from mainstream society’s point of view, the current agenda playing out now is what is projected to be constructive, benefiting the child. Hence, the policy making suggestions in this book are really bringing novelty by reshaping the educational landscape in terms of formulating a valid paradigm for sexual conduct that is socially acceptable.

Last not least, in my personal opinion, decriminalization of adult-child sexual behavior should only be extended to nonviolent human sexual behavior. I was grappling with the author’s concept of emosexual consultancy that also applies in cases of sexually violent adult-child interactions. However, this will not fly as a policy point as society cannot even entertain the potential that nonviolent erotic interaction with a child is somehow a child care tool.

The assertion of being able to change an attraction could potentially be misunderstood in the sense that this notion of change could be entertained by some people to propose transforming people sexually without their consent. Here, I see a potential cause of conflict or debate, especially from the side of the pedophile community.

The author makes it very clear, however, that he is not inclined to please these groupings as his cause does not constitute a ‘normalization’ of pedophilia, but the intention to serve children by an incentive toward a new permissive kind of education. In this context, the author argues that the present mainstream approach to child protection doe not really serve the cause of the child, but the industry. Indeed sex or sexual activity, while it was traditionally granted to all members of society, has in modern industrial nations been restricted to adults and something children are steered away from as much as possible, thereby successfully establishing a prohibition which has been firmly in place for the last four hundred years or so.

It is proposed that steering children away from sexuality ensures the continuity of cyclical consumption insofar as the child serves as the key entity needed in order to power or drive the consumer economy, in general, and the funding of both child protection agencies as well as the toy manufacturing industry.

This whole process, perhaps never discussed openly in any depth, within any given professional or lay arena, is actively covered in this present book as a ‘desperate’ attempt to bring about public awareness of the entire operation currently in existence, informing us of why such a large scale and complex operation exists in the first place, namely to distract the youngster from his or her body, to ultimately distract the child from sensing the very warmth his body provides and the potential that bodily warmth has for self and others who may be granted special access to it via formal permission from the child, permission he or she is however not allowed to give under our present child protection laws.

I think the author clearly voiced that encouragement should be placed on a perception shift, from viewing fellow human beings as shady, as the saying goes, to one that entails good character and therefore fully capable of positive conduct.

Section 10/12 of the book is obviously of great importance for the eventual social change or new life paradigm shift. This shift will include the incorporation of more pleasure into daily life which is projected to reduce instances of violence to a great extent. The violence research by James W. Prescott and similar research support the idea of allowing for increased pleasure in life and putting less emphasis on aggressive manufacturing of legal policies whose aim is to further suppress people thereby causing even more instances of the illegal activities because the laws are not being followed anyhow.

The author has written this book with the intention of addressing policy makers, members of parliament and governments, I would like to add here that I believe that most world leaders like President Barack Obama read only brief books or what is referred to as brief books. In such cases, the president has been prepared ahead of time in order to get him up to speed on concerns/issues/questions whatever that require his attention and decision-making. Such decision-making requires quickness as he once remarked that he could not count the number of decisions he had to make daily since taking office so one can just imagine the demanding schedule this man assumes as the most popular president ever to surface in world history.

Toward Social Change resembles a kind of brief book in the sense that the book is short and thus does not require a lot of time to study. The present book dedicated to him, I think 140+ pages of literature is reasonable reading for a very busy government personnel.

Re: Idiotguide to Love

Jason — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:07:23 -0000

The Idiot Guide to Love makes one understand that love should indeed retain the meaning or definition that is comprehensive, and integrative, rather than fragmented. Emotions coupled with love are or can be complex, multi-character, and multi-dimensional.

It seems to be empirical, at this point, to assume that there is more to emotions and love than the socially accepted, established norms and customs, namely the surfacing of complex and unique subjectivities. Those are numerous, and thus we are faced with the challenge of how to handle human uniqueness – which is always subjective!

America has in a sense made a quantum leap for its tolerance of a growing number of transgender youth, both pre-teen and teen. Socio-medical medicine, parents and educators are becoming more and more aware of it, namely, the unique and compelling difference some children experience early in their lives, manifested in the desire to become the opposite sex.

Perhaps the acknowledgment of transgender youth/children is a step-up toward the gradual and extremely slow process of comprehensive inclusion of all non-violent sexual subjectivity.

The author's position to accept reality instead of fighting it seems to be very much true; it appears there is evidence of growing tolerance in America for emotional-sexual subjectivities that are in sharp contrast with the established norm.

I have changed the content of this section of the site now in January 2013. These pages were somewhat hidden before, in the 'About' section, which means that this important information was not well visible. What I did was to add this content under a new top-level menu 'Selfhelp Media' and improved each synposis of the selfhelp guides by adding a video window and additional podcast links.

On this present page I introduce the idea of a synopsis. And believe me it was an awful amount of work to do this. Please read through the page until you come to the links to the child pages, the pages under this page. Here you can click on each synposis for each guide and then browse the content.

The structure is that of a complete Table of Contents. Imbedded in it you have the audio content, linking to each free audio book published in the SCM section of this site.

On top, you got the corresponding video playlist from Youtube's ipublica channel, followed by links to other video blogs and free iTunes podcasts.

I hope this new section of the site is useful.

Re: Joseph Campbell and the Lunar Bull

Jason — Thu, 17 Jan 2013 13:42:17 -0000

Joseph Campbell and The Lunar Bull is a uniquely composed book containing four book reviews coupled with the one of the author's own personal related work, The Lunar Bull, hence the title. The present book serves as an acknowledgement of what is called the soul, or soul values within a given individual and therefore, aside from being a scholarly review of the work of the late Joseph Campbell, acts also as a kind of mini soul guide destined to increase the level of awareness of the individual's soul nature verses cultural or societal nature.

The important information voiced very early on in this small book is the very operation of modern day society and if one is not already informed, this book dishes out the troubling situation at the very beginning-that it is basically soul-less. In particular, the book asserts that the very nature of modern day western culture is that it is patriarchally inclined, denoting its pressure inducing, authority based and aggressive paradigm. This is probably due to the soul-less nature of workplace interaction among people, a place where emphasis is on industrial output, how much labor can be acquired from a human being when he is under great pressure from those in authority.

Walter seems to make an extremely accurate statement of consumer culture when he states, "Patriarchy, with its craving for obedience to the father, is a sort of compulsion neurosis." Indeed, and in short, obedience is would is of value to modern day patriarchy society and not what is unique to the individual, his soul. In fact, the very molded personalities I see in the financial district mentioned above could very well a product of "cultural insanity" to use Walter's words.

In other words, the very soul of the citizen has been vandalized by patriarchal elements, thus rendering the life of the citizen extremely mundane as he works to earn a living, via odd jobs that bear little or no interest to him. Walter points out that he practices a specialized form of human coaching known creatively as soul coaching to denote human services geared towards realization of the individual's singularly held talents, interests and abilities, not only in the form of awareness but to also harness that potential for service to himself, firstly, and for others, secondly.

I think this is what ultimately is referred to as the true hero, denoting an inspired individual with uniquely held aspirations which serve to only drive his life towards authentic upward mobility verses corporate advancement, the latter being representative of outer successful while the former being representative of inner success. This book is a highly recommended one considering that it is a time saver for the busy reader.

Re: Idiotguide to Science

Jason — Sat, 12 Jan 2013 06:14:51 -0000

The Idiot Guide to Science is a book that establishes the author's criticism of popular science as being artificial while promoting alternative science (rightly so) as the friendliest approach to the scientific study of life and therefore qualifying as the real true science. The time has since long arrived in which we find ourselves faced with an ambitious and highly multi-talented scholar who has enough courage to aggressively question the very validity of conventional science due to its combative, judgmental nature, lack of objectivity, which it claims to exercise. This present guide informs us as to the very nature of current scientific study, which is namely reductionist while informing us of the alternative, much more life enhancing paradigm which seeks to fully understand life as it really is – subtle and empirical.

Much emphasis is given to coverage of the great work of the late Wilhelm Reich and it is here that the author of the present guide pays all due respect, homage to the very individual who was persecuted via prison time, where he eventually died, for his work of bio-energy. This is one extreme example of what society has done to individuals such as Reich who ventured off in their scholarly efforts only to later be meant with deadly confrontation by the criminal justice system. Also being covered here is the work of the great systems thinker, Dr. Fritjof Capra, another scientific scholar, the author holds in high regard.

The author encourages us to safeguard scientific novelty regardless whether or not the insights we acquire through scholarly study and research are in accord with societal norms for genuine novelty after all by its very nature should be brand new, unique rather than a mere confirmation of well established data. I think something unique in this guide is coverage of Reich's healing abilities, which is covered in chapter three. Lastly the fifth chapter features a comprehensive coverage of energy science and energy based healing and with this, the author places much emphasis on the non=physical, non-empirical, in the conventional sense in order to bring about greater awareness about what science is all about-the study of the more subtle, less visible aspects of life.

Ultimately this guide serves to broaden the very definition of science as the study of the subtleties of life and not just what is apparent. Provided the reader is equipped with mental flexibility, he can increase his awareness level as to what science really is and the shift towards a more high integrity based approach to the study of science is the way to go.
