Fool If You Think It's Over

Fool If You Think It's Over

The song, "Fool If You Think It's Over," was performed in the 1970's by Chris Rea. I was young, and had aspirations of becoming a professional musician.  I cannot forget this song, and the feeling of being obsessively infatuated (I thought at the time that I was in love) with a young woman who was in love with another young man. I now understand the terms bittersweet and exquisite pain. Listen for the line "Newborn eyes always cry with pain/ first look at the morning sun."

I miss being who I was then. I dream about him sometimes.

Please listen.

I hope that you enjoy it. Good music is one of life's only innocent pleasures.

Always,

Douglas Castle

No Sooner Did I Put Up That Last Post When...

Dear Friends:

No sooner did I put up my last when Google popped the follwing ad up on my screen (before I had quite gotten around to posting on another blog). Firstly, it was not relevent. Secondly, and as I've noted before, it saddens me to think that a goodly percentage of the persons stumbling upon this ad think it might be for a dating service or a social club. Cry the beloved country.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

The lesson to be learned is that you get irrelevant or downright dangerous results generated from a poorly-crafted search algorithm. Ever wonder why I don't permit Google ads on my sites? Three years ago, I had written an article debunking some of the myths associated with hypnosis; the objective was to explain that all hypnosis is essentially self-hypnosis, and that you cannot be forced to do something, or reveal something which you do not wish to reveal during an ordinary trance (i.e., standard induction, reasonably normal individual, no drugs, chemicals or equipment involved).

Within an hour, a friend telephoned me and said that Google had put an ad on my site for "BLACK OPS HYPNOSIS: Secrets of Controlling Others Revealed" I ditched them after that.

Who? What? Why?

Who? What? Why?

I generally prefer not to post to Twitter. But sometimes I have to. These were two of those times. They both contain very personal messages. The recipients, when reading them, will know who they are, what the messages are about, and why I am calling certain things to their attention. - Douglas Castle

Now, do what your conscience and your sense of duty tell you is right, or live with the consequences. Get ready to swim -- you might have to, when the natives on our tiny island start to get either a) too hungry because you haven't been catching food, or b) too angry because they have grown weary of supporting you.

The bell is tolling. Can you hear it?

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION REVISITED

TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION REVISITED

Dear Thinkers:

I have done a fair amount of training in NLP, Hypnotherapy, positive visualization, brainwave entrainment, martial arts and numerous other self-growth modalities and techniques to improve my personal and professional life. In fact, they have been so powerfully helpful at enhancing my ability to be positively creative and productive, that I joined forces with Martial Arts Master Joseph Droual some years ago to create and refine the INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS System of learning and entrainment.

The one method which I have yet to dedicate myself to is Transcendental Meditation. I remember as being a sort of fad in the 1970s, but its long-standing adherents seem to been profoundly benefitted by it in terms of stress reduction, blood pressure reduction, increased perspective and focus, mental clarity, improved resting pulse rate, and re-energization. It is my intention to explore it. And while I do not offer medical or health advice, it might be worth looking into for your own benefit. An excerpted clip from a TM seminar announcement follows for your information. I hope that you find it edifying and enjoyable.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

One of the most valuable benefits of the Transcendental Meditation technique is becoming more creative—becoming more innovative and adaptable in the midst of life’s pressures and challenges.

Award winning filmmaker David Lynch recently toured U.S. college campuses with world-renowned quantum physicist John Hagelin and brain researcher Fred Travis to present how the TM technique promotes extraordinary creativity and total brain functioning—higher states of consciousness.

You can view their compelling presentation at:

Better than watching their talks, however, is improving your own brain’s orderly functioning by practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique.

See a Throbbing Thing - For Free

I'm so embarrassed. I think that Rick Itzkowich posted this thing on Twitter just a short while ago. Something is inherently wrong (psychologically) with anybody who thinks doing well in business involves having fun. I felt obligated as a moralist with a strict code of conduct to call everybody's attention to this "post":

See a throbbing thing for free! http://tnnwbuzzworks.blogspot.com/2009/10/see-throbbing-thing-for-free.html  And I'm not shortening my urls.

I would never, ever condone placing such nonsense on the prestigious HUMANITAS MAXIMUS Blog. We must maintain the highest standards of decency.

To Rick: Why?

Endorsements For Themasses (Spacing Omitted for Reader Discretion)

ENDORSEMENTS FOR THEMASSES (Spacing Omitted For Reader Discretion)

Dear Friends:

People are very fond of endorsements. They used to be satisfied to buy a product that was merely credibility-enhanced with the qualifier "AS SEEN ON TV!".

In these times, it's more direct:

• As recommended on OPRAH.
• Obama wants you to buy a new home.
• Obama wants you to go back to school.
• Kelly Ripa's Skin Secret!
• What the AMA doesn't want you to know!

These endorsements are, more often than not, just advertising come-ons. In many cases, the celebrities' names are being used without their knowledge or permission. Even more crushing... (gasp!) -  the celebrities or institutions being spotlighted might never have said any such thing, read any such thing, thought any such thing, recommended any such thing or used any such product.

The only endorsements that really get my attention are the ones from neighbors and friends who come flailing and raving, shouting, "You won't believe it! This **** really works!"

I don't usually like to endorse anything, except checks. and even then, only sometimes.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

Read these other things, too. Why? Because I said so. (While this is certainly not an endorsement, it worked very well for my parents when I was growing up in 1960s.)
