#Derren Brown Daily

[luxe-pauvre]

Martha Nussbaum, who appeared at the start of this book when we were discussing how anger might become useful by undergoing a transition, has given us a helpful synthesis. She recommends that we replace the Stoic notion of a rock standing strong against the lashing waves with the image of a porous rock that allows the water to move through it. That helps release the tension, doesn’t it? Another answer: we can move towards a more richly integrated self, of which Jung’s vision is helpful. But why might this be important? What is our final imperative as we come to the close of this book? I think the answer is this: that we remember to appear in our lives. The close-up view of our lives does not allow us the perspective we need for the big picture. As with any mosaic, we need to first step back. Most people, wrote Schopenhauer, ‘discover when they look back on their life that they have been living the whole time ad interim, and are surprised to see that which they let go by so unregarded and unenjoyed was precisely their life, was precisely that in expectation of which they lived’. The things to which we pay scant attention might turn out to be the things we are living for. We’ve seen that midlife is usually when we start to look back, or begin to sense a queasy future nostalgia for the present. Those in-between moments of now, which we forget to enjoy; the shared nothingness of lukewarm daily whiles: these have been piecing together all along to form our lives. Who knew! We thought our life was going to be shaped by the dramatic fulfilment of our plans. For this reason we might one day look back on our allotted time and the hounding we suffered from a thousand external pressures and ask whether we actually, at any point, truly appeared as ourselves.

Derren Brown, A Book of Secrets: Finding Solace in a Stubborn World

[tracyfance]

Hello, lovely souls! Tracy Fance here, your favourite psychic coach, and today I want to talk about how we can heal allergies and hay fever using Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) as per Robert Dilts. As a qualified NLP Master Practitioner myself, his work has been an enormous area of interest to me, not to mention a tool to help people like you heal!

Allergies and hay fever can be a real pain, literally. They can make us feel miserable and affect our daily lives. Sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and fatigue are just some of the symptoms that can make us feel less than our best. But did you know that NLP can be a powerful tool in helping to heal these conditions?

What Is NLP?

NLP has been around since the 1970's and it's been used in many ways to help benefit people whether that's in a work setting, personal development or health, you may even watch Derren Brown, Paul McKenna & Dynamo, they use NLP too. It works by using language to retrain the brain, to help it change behaviour & thinking, it's often used with hypnosis too.

Robert Dilts is a renowned NLP trainer, and he's developed a technique that can be used to help heal allergies and hay fever. This technique is based on the premise that our bodies and minds are connected, and that by changing our thoughts and beliefs, we can influence our physical health.

Using NLP For Healing Hay Fever/Allergies; Case Study

I've worked with a few people to help clear their hay fever or allergies, in actual fact these are your body holding onto emotional responses from the past! When did this start for you? It may be the memory was a year before the allergy started, here's a scenario to help you:

Matilda was very popular at school and a very happy child, at age 9 she moved to another area quite some distance from where she'd been living which meant new home, new school etc but the worst thing was having to make friends in a school where the children had been friends since nursery & suddenly she'd gone from being popular, well liked & established to being a nobody (in her eyes).

Now this all happened around March/April, and she was fine until the following year when the pollen count started to climb February onwards, the reason it started then was that the smells, the scenery, nature etc all started to come into place, all of these were things that Matilda associated with the trauma of moving. So her emotional hurts which weren't conscious but they were in her subconcious mind & they get triggered by the natural world doing it's thing every year. My job is to use various NLP techniques to reframe those hurts so they become positive & the brain releases the hurts which allows the response (the allergy) to stop.

Here's Some Tips For You To Use On Yourself

So, how does it work? Well, the first step is to identify the belief or thought pattern that is causing the allergic reaction. This can be done by asking ourselves some questions, such as:

What do I believe about this allergen?

What emotions do I feel when I am exposed to it?

What memories do I have associated with it?

Once we’ve identified the belief or thought pattern, we can then use NLP techniques to change it. One such technique is called reframing. Reframing is the process of taking a negative belief or thought and turning it into a positive one. For example, if someone has a belief that they are allergic to pollen and it makes them feel miserable, they could reframe this belief by saying something like, "Pollen is a natural part of the environment, and my body is designed to handle it with ease."

Visualisation

Another NLP technique that can be used to heal allergies and hay fever is visualisation. Visualisation is the process of creating a mental image of what we want to achieve. In this case, we would create a mental image of ourselves being free from allergies and hay fever. We could visualise ourselves breathing easily and feeling energised and healthy.

The final step in using NLP to heal allergies and hay fever is to anchor positive emotions. Anchoring is the process of associating a positive emotion with a physical gesture or action. For example, someone could anchor the feeling of being allergy-free by touching their thumb and index finger together.

In conclusion, allergies and hay fever can be a real nuisance, but they don't have to control our lives. By using NLP techniques, we can change our thoughts and beliefs about allergens, visualise ourselves being allergy-free, and anchor positive emotions.

Those people who've had allergies or hayfever that have worked with me have been really grateful to be free of their allergies.

Need Help To Heal?

So, if you're suffering from allergies or hay fever, give NLP a try and see how it can help you feel better. I've not always found it easy to heal or grow myself, it's often easier to work with someone else as they are more objective. You’re welcome to schedule a free chat with me here https://www.tracyfance.com/get-a-reading-with-tracy/intuitive-life-coaching/ or give me a call & we’ll find a time/date to chat.

Speaking of sticky notes on my computer monitor, at the moment, I have two there, as a daily reminder. The Japanese saying "Shikata ga nai" (basically, What can you do? or That's life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯) and Derren Brown's quote, "Learn to desire what you already have, and you will have all you need." They're actually quite helpful when I feel frustrated - or I've got a hankering to go on a shopping spree, heh.

Day 142 - Watching Derren Brown’s ‘The Push’ on Netflix.

[loveandknowledge]

“The biggest thing for me is, when I find myself irritated or feeling annoyed, to let that thought sink in: ‘This is fine. It’s actually fine’. It always is, of course. It’s fine because it’s (at least for the most part) nothing to do with me. Even if it takes a while to properly take root, it guides me to better behavior with the people in question. I can at least fake it for a while and act accordingly, because I know intellectually that it’s the case before I feel it. Without that yardstick, we’re so vulnerable to the well-meaning efforts of our sympathetic friends, which tend to inflate our annoyance.”

How I’ve managed to succeed.

Forward:

Yesterday, @KC Allen asked about how people stick with their long term goals and hold themselves accountable. @Brad Bishop requested that I write a book on the subject, but I think that may be a bit of overkill. I have wanted to put down the most important skills I have learned for achieving goals. So, I might as well spend an hour or two doing it. I apologize for the length of this post / note / possible future book outline, but I will try to be as concise as I can in the few hours I have allocated to drafting, fact-checking, writing, and editing. Without further ado, here is “How to succeed: the April Choi Method.”

Overview:

Overall, these are the steps I use:

Setting a Goal

Breaking down the Goal into Steps

Planning out those Steps

Testing the Realism of that Goal

Re-planning and Documentation

The Incentive, Motivation, and Self-Discipline Trinity

Building Incentives

Seeding Motivation

Cultivating Self-Discipline

External and Internal Accountability

Methods and Tools for Maintaining Focus

Time Management & Efficiency

Resources: Time, Money, Energy

Tips, Tricks, and Tools

Goal Setting: Since the main focus of KC’s post was accountability, I’m only going to touch on proper goal setting.

Finding and setting a goal is usually the easy part for people, but it’s holding on to that level of initial excitement that’s the difficult part. Before we get to that, I do want to mention that testing the realism of your goal is an important step and you don’t want to skip it. A few days of testing or research could save you years of your life and disappointment. For me, I still have the dream of breaking the world record for “Most juggling catches of 3 whips in 1 minute”. However, after testing my learning I realized that this would not be possible in the time frame and given the effort I had outlined. I have in the past spent hundreds of hours striving for a goal, only to realize that the end was not possible due to something out of my control. The weather, your location, or income could be something you’re not considering. Please do. Breaking down the goal is a good way to check if that goal is possible, but also to see what some unexpected challenges may be. “The First 20 Hours: How to Learn Anything, Fast!” by Josh Kaufman and “Smarter Faster Better: The Secrets of Being Productive in Life and Business” by Charles Duhigg are marvelous resources for how you can break things down into baby steps. The key here is to truly visualize yourself going through each and every single step. Something as simple as “Needs a notary” or “Needs a work visa” could be the difference between succeeding or not. I have forgotten very simple things before that has then trapped me or negated all my previous work.

Documentation: Lists are amazingly powerful tools. I have them everywhere. I have a list tattooed to my arm. I use them all the time. Now, some people aren’t list people, and we’ll get to them in a bit. The main point of a list is to organize the steps from above so you don’t have to waste time thinking about it later. It’s also nice to cross things off. In “Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity” by David Allen, his entire system is based on the idea of a “Tickler File”. It’s a way of setting up a system of which when something is needed to be done, it tickles his brain when it needs to. Allen uses a file system, some people use a 30,000 ft view like in “Elevate: The Three Disciplines of Advanced Strategic Thinking” by Rich Horwath, and some people use a calendar. Personally, I use the bucket method, which is putting tasks into bucket lists. My buckets are: Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly, Monthly, Seasonal, Yearly, and Future. I have a list with everything I plan to do placed onto one of those lists. As time moves on, things move from one list to another. Use what you need, but planning and documenting REALLY helps. For the people who aren’t list people, I love to them the parking lot or brain dump. Given a certain amount of time (weekly for me), I use a brain dump. It’s where I sit down for 5-10 min and write out everything that comes into my head. Some people use a parking lot, where they “park” an idea from the week. I like doing it all at once. From this, you pick the top 3 things you want to work on in that time frame. Keller, of “The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results” by Gary Keller likes to connect all his activities to a single objective and that way he has less distractions. Everything as one common goal. That way you aren’t overwhelmed with a massive list, but rather you can pick and choose what to worry about for any given week. Obviously, there are home, family, work, and social obligations, but this is assuming that you are doing those things, you just have 1 point of focus outside the necessary things to hold your baseline.

Visualization: Now to the real meat of what people want. You’re already on a journey, but how do you stick to it? The first ‘trick’ I like to use is visualization. You should have a goal in mind but you also need to truly FEEL what it’s like to have that goal done. Both “Start with Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action” by Simon Sinek and “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change” by Stephen R. Covey start with visualizing your goal in full. If you don’t have a goal, then imagining what you want people to say at your 100th birthday party is a good generic guide. That visual of your goal should inspire you a great amount, and being able to come back to that is a powerful tool.

THE INCENTIVE-MOTIVATION-DISCIPLINE TRINITY: Anecdotally, the question that gets asked the most about sticking with something is “How do I stay motivated?”. You’ve probably seen the “F**K Motivation” post and thought, for a moment, that it’s all about self-discipline. Your job may think something else and argue that money and power is how you get people to do things. Well, as with most things in life, it's more about balance than the black and white, binary view the world keeps feeding us. I’ve always loved the idea of the exposure trinity from photography. It’s not just Aperture, Shutter Speed, or ISO, but a balance of all three. If you lose some of one, you need more of the others. Let’s go through each one of these, what they are, and how they can help you.

Incentive: Incentive is the most obvious of extrinsic motivators. It’s getting more money, a nicer car, food on your plate, clothing, or the ability to live. We’ve all heard the phrase “Money can’t buy you happiness.” and the arguments that come with. What it comes down to is your placement on Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs. If you are starving and don’t have the money to buy food, money can definitely buy happiness. If you own a multi-billion dollar company, even giving away a billion to a charity is probably not going to give you lasting happiness. It’s relative. In “The How of Happiness: A New Approach to Getting the Life You Want” by Sonja Lyubomirsky, Lyubomirsky shows in an experiment where they paid people the US equivalent of $1 per task up to $1000 per task that people very quickly stop putting in effort after a certain payment. At $1 per task, they have to do the task 5-10 times for a meal. But give them $1000, why would they want to put in more effort once they have enough money to eat for a year. This experiment was carried out in a very low-income country, and despite the promise of getting a years worth of money in a single day, the people there actually started to slow down their production rates. This is the downside of incentives or external motivation. They work up to a point. It’s stated in “Happy: Why More or Less Everything is Absolutely Fine” by Derren Brown that around $75,000 / year, there is no further correlation between happiness and additional income. As I am currently rather well off, I no longer need Incentive. For many of you, this may be a great extrinsic motivator. I have used the money from commissions, shows, and workshops as incentive in the past, but it’s hasn’t pushed me much compared to the other two. My extrinsic motivators are now things I enjoy doing. If I get this article written by the end of the day, I get candy or a trip to the climbing gym. Make sure whatever you use for incentive is worthwhile to you.

Motivation: The big “M” word that is thrown around a lot. I know that many of you are going to want to know what are the secrets of staying motivated. Sadly, there are not any. Motivation comes and goes. Is strong or is weak. Some days you have it, and some days you don’t. Rather than concentrating on getting more motivation, I like to think about what triggers or sparks your motivation. For me it is music, or people. So if I want motivation to study Spanish, I listen to Spanish music. If I want motivation to practice burlesque, I talk to burlesque dancers. Doing those things doesn’t create motivation. My intrinsic motivation is already there, these things just help it out. Even in the great motivational books that I would recommend such as “The Little Black Book of Workout Motivation” by Michael Matthews, “The Motivation Manifesto: 9 Declarations to Claim Your Personal Power” by Brendon Burchard, and “You Are a Badass: How to Stop Doubting Your Greatness and Start Living an Awesome Life” by Jen Sincero, though they throw around the word “motivation” a lot, what it came down to was techniques that sparked motivation or habits than maintained it. I’m not saying it’s not worth it, but understand how it works and how to use it to boost yourself. Don’t rely on motivation, but think about it like how caffeine should help your day, rather than you be dependent on it.

Self-Discipline: Holy Cheese balls this is a big section. Let me just get the references out of the way. Please, do yourself a favor and read or listen to these: “The Willpower Instinct: How Self-Control Works, Why It Matters, and What You Can Do to Get More of It” by Kelly McGonigal, “The 5 Second Rule: Transform your Life, Work, and Confidence with Everyday Courage” by Mel Robbins, “Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Human Strength” by Roy F. Baumeister and John Tierney, “Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance” by Angela Duckworth, and “Scientific Secrets for Self-Control” by C. Nathan DeWall and The Great Courses.

Let me be frank with you, the only way to build Self-Discipline is to do it. It’ll suck that first day, but as you do it, it gets easier. Start off with something simple, something easy to stay focused on and try for as long as you can. If getting started is difficult for you, then use the 5-second rule. You are allowed 5 seconds, then you have to start. Count, 1, 2, 3, 4, and before you get to 5, you have to have started. That works wonders for me. Even when I’m sad. I give myself a timer. I’m allowed to cry for 10 minutes, but when that timer goes off, I’m done crying and I get back to work. If you want a drill to build self-discipline, there is nothing in this world that will give you the outcome that meditation will. I’ve written on Meditation a number of times, so I’m just going to put my favorite version of what I’ve written: Meditation as Strength Training for Self-Discipline:

I have found myself explaining how to get into meditation, or responding to a lot of “I can’t meditate.” comments. I have found an analogy that I think helps quite it bit. I like to think that Meditation is just strengthening focus just like weight lifting strengthens your muscles.

So for lifting you have reps, weight and muscle groups.

For meditation, a single rep is:

*Focus on something*

*Have a distracted thought*

*Guide yourself back to the something*

That’s it. That’s the most basic iteration of meditation.

The amount of weight or “strength" in meditation is how focused the task is. Watching TV is almost mindless. So, it’s like lifting 1 lb. Slightly more difficult might be something like reading a book; which would be like lifting 20 lbs. For you, yoga could be 50 lbs, jogging is like lifting 100 lbs, just concentrating on your breath is like 200 lbs, and sitting still with your eyes closed, thinking about nothing is like lifting 500 lbs. Now, I don’t know that many people that can lift 500 lbs. Thus, I wouldn’t expect someone who just started meditation to meditate on such a difficult subject.

Personally, I use highly repetitive activities. Knitting, Braiding, Whip Making, or actual weight-lifting. You can use whatever you like. The goal is to “Single-task” rather than multi-task or get distracted.

Just like you can lift weights to improve certain muscle groups, you can meditate to strengthen certain mental muscles. This can be positive aspects like gratitude, confidence, or loving-kindness; or negative aspects such as negative self-talk, anger, or jealousy. For a positive aspect, focus on a single positive affirmations (like “I am smart.) and when you get distracted, guide yourself back to it. 

For an exercise regimen, you can start with just 1 set of 5 reps once or twice a week. As you get more comfortable with it, you can ramp up to doing 1 set of 10 Reps, resting (which is just doing anything else), then doing another set, for 2 sets of 10, three to four times a week. In about a month, most people will find that the reps happen without counting and a set is now a period of time. Currently, I used my FitBit to meditate 5 min a day, once a day. Not everyday, just when I feel like I need to calm down or collect myself.

For negative thoughts, the regimen is a bit different. I like to write down the opposite on a rubber band that I wear on my wrist. For something like “Less Negative Self-Talk” I write “Be more positive” in the rubber band. When I notice a negative thought enters my mind I snap the rubber band and that is my rep for my training regimen. You don’t actually need the rubber band, just pushing the thought aside is enough. The rubber band is just a nice physical reminder.

As you get better at mediation, you’ll notice that the reps get easier and are spaced further apart. Very few people can go more than 5 seconds without a distracting thought when just concentrating on their breath. So, if you can make it that long, you’re already at the super elite, olympic level of meditation. If not, don’t worry. Plenty of people never win a gold medal in Olympic weight-lifting.

If you want to build the habit into your daily life, you can pick a time to meditate. I have found it much easier to establish a meditation habit by linking it to an activity you already do. For example, whenever you brush your teeth, take a shower, or eat lunch.

I hope this helps someone starting their meditation journey. I realize that meditation is not for everyone. So, if you don’t like it, don’t do it. There are plenty of studies that show meditation helping anxiety, depression, stress, or just improving focus. [Links Below] The method I described above is obviously not the only way to meditate. It was just a way that’s analogous to how most people strengthen their muscles. There are plenty of other methods including guided meditations for beginners. Hopefully, you find something for you.

The Wall:

So, you’re now goal-oriented, motivated, and focused, but you still can’t get the things done that you want done. You’ve hit the dreaded “Wall”. What can you do from here? Well, if you’ve hit that wall, then it’s because you have run out of a resource. That resource, may be Money, Time, or Energy. This is where you need to start budgeting all three. If there is only one book you read from all the ones I have given you, let it be this one: “The Productivity Project: Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy” by Chris Bailey. I have read, listened to, re-read, and re-listened to this books multiple times. It’ll will get you over your biggest hurdles. I’m only going to touch on efficiency and procrastination a little bit because this book has it all covered. Every chapter is a new method on how to be productive, how to improve efficiency, and how to stop procrastinating. 

Efficiency & Procrastination:

If your serious about this, right now, start counting to 60, once you get to the number 30, Stop reading this, Google “The Productivity Project: Accomplishing More by Managing Your Time, Attention, and Energy” by Chris Bailey, then by the time you get to 60, buy that book. Put it at the top of your pile, read it, even if you don’t think you have time, trust me, it’s worth every second of time, 10 times over. Seriously, do it now. Everything I would write out is pretty much a recreation of that book, from biological prime time to task batching. 

So, with that, we move onto the big three resources: Time, Money and Energy. These are probably your biggest walls. I’m not saying you will get over these. Some of these are just too big. But hopefully, the advice and resources here will help you out.

Time:

Time is a tough one. You can’t make more time, but you can get rid of time holes. In “The Productivity Project”, Bailey talks about keeping a time journal. I personally use Toggl.com and find it super useful. But for me, I found a secret that drastically increased the amount of time I have and made everything I wanted to do go much faster. How? People. People: This is probably my biggest “Secret” when it comes to doing all the things I get done. The adage “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know.” is true in more ways than one. If you meet the right people each of you gets to leverage your own strengths and help cover each other’s weaknesses. Also, people give you an amazing way to check to make sure what your doing is the right path. The amount of knowledge the rest of the world has is infinitely larger than the knowledge you have. Use them. Sadly, people are usually the largest hole of time than could suck out all the time you have. Between arguments, disagreements, and fights, you can lose hundreds of hours a year. But with a good team of friends and family, they can also help you get through things. I HIGHLY recommend spending time with each of these books to help you gain the human resources and interpersonal skills to help you gain more time. Communicating with others: “Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High” by Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, Ron McMillan, and Al Switzler. “More Than Two: A Practical Guide to Ethical Polyamory” by Franklin Veaux. “The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts” by Gary Chapman.

Interpersonal Skills: “Captivate: The Science of Succeeding with People” by Vanessa Van Edwards. “Insight: The Surprising Truth About How Others See Us, How We See Ourselves, and Why the Answers Matter More Than We Think” by Tasha Eurich

Advice: “Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers” and “Tribe of Mentors: Short Life Advice from the Best in the World” both by Tim Ferriss

Money:

After not having enough time, the next things I hear is “I don’t have the money.” There is no quick fix here. I’m not a financial expert, so I’m simply going to give you what’s helped me: “The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness” by Dave Ramsey, “Rich Dad Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!” by Robert T. Kiyosaki. What’s probably helped me the most in increasing my income is “Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It” by Chris Voss

Emotions:

This is the last area I’m going to touch on. It’s the area I have the most difficulty with. I suffer from depression severe enough to leave me doing nothing but working, crying, ruminating, with very little sleep and very little food. Here, I also don’t have an easy answer for you. Therapy, friends, socializing, and gratitude are going to be your best bet moving forward. As for resources, these are my top 5 favorite books on improving my happiness.

“Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things” by Jenny Lawson

“The Happiness Project” by Gretchen Rubin

“SuperBetter: The Power of Living Gamefully” by Jane McGonigal

“Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead” by Brené Brown

“The Happiness Advantage: How a Positive Brain Fuels Success in Work and Life” by Shawn Achor

Tips, Tricks, and Tools: Here is a list of Tips, Tricks, and Tools that I have used. I put these last in hopes that you would first read the above section to better understand how important framework and context is. You can have the fastest car in the world, but if you don’t know how to drive, you’re never going to win a race. These will help you, but unless you build them into a habit, they are unlikely going to stick around long enough to get you to your goal by yourself.

Journaling. Whether it’s to keep track of thoughts, tasks, exercise, time, or food. Writing down what you do, eat, or think almost always has the largest impact on behavioral change.

Motivational Photo Wall. I have a wall of photos of goals and people that inspire me.

Brain Dump. Sit down for 5-10 min and write down everything that bothers you so you don’t forget a thing.

5 second rule. You get 5 seconds, then you have to start doing whatever it is you need to start doing.

Pomodoro Technique. Set a timer. For 25 minutes you have to work HARD, but then give yourself a 5 min break.

Accountability Partner or Coach. Pretty much self-explanatory.

Therapy. Also, self-explanatory.

Self-writing. What I’m doing here. Then read your letter, post, or article when you need to.

Tiny Tasks. Break tasks down to tasks that each take 5 min or less. You can break an hour long task of writing into 12, 5-minute bursts.

Self-Talk. Change the way you self-talk.

Visualization. Think of the end goal whenever you get low.

Find your prime time. When are you most active? Do the hard things then.

Mentor someone else. When you have to teach or mentor, you learn a lot as well.

ASK FOR HELP!!! Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

Lauren’s updated ‘send help, too many books’ to be read list

Making a list seemed to help last time (or at least it did until i did the inevitable and... bought more books... and since we’re almost at the end of the year and into a new one here is my new and updated to-be-read list. I’ve removed all the books i’ve read since i made the first one and i’ve added the new ones. My goal is to have halved this list by the end of next year haha, thats 65 books (ignoring the fact that i’ll probably get a couple for christmas/buy more when audible have a good daily deal haha)

How have you been doing? Learn anything new about life, God?

Thanks for asking! I appreciate it.Funny you should ask… 

Lately I’ve been immersed in looking at the false teachers of today, actually.I was a bit shocked to realize that a couple of my spiritual heroes, and especially a couple that I looked into when I was in a recent dry spell, are just fakes…

Let me begin by saying that my faith is intact and I am actually closer to God now than I was before. It shook me, but it has also cleared out some garbage that was polluting my views. I don’t have time to go into depth now, but in short I’m not bying the “street healers” anymore. They’re all over Youtube with their spectacular shows. 

Yes, shows, because that’s what it is.Now, to clarify, I do believe in miracles, and I do believe in street ministry, but not the kind I’m going to address here.

So, here it is: - People going out and caring for others by helping with practical matters such as food, shelter, homework, lawnmowing etc I completely support. The Salvation Army has a motto: “Soup, soap and salvation”, which means you first tend to people’s basic needs - no strings attached - and then you can share your faith if they are ready to hear it. (It usually makes them curious anyway.)

 - What I don’t support are the guys that wander the street (very often with a camera) and ask people if they have any bodily issues they can pray for, and healings are abundant. Or are they healed? I believed it for way too long.The trademark for these guys is that surprisingly often, whatever problem the person they meet has, it can be traced to having one leg shorter than the other, and it’s always people with shoes…I heard a magician describe how you can do this trick yourself, because it is an illusion. (It involves pulling out the heal of the shoe and simply pushing it back in. You can also move sideways to make the feet realign, but that’s harder to hide.) There are also other things they “heal” which can be produced by misdirection and manipulation. If I hold your knee in a bad position, you are likely to agree that there’s less pain after I let go. And legally blind doesn’t mean completely blind, so you can “suddenly” see how many fingers I hold up when I hold them against a contrasting background. You get the picture…

In their meetings, people often get to fill out a contact card before it starts, and pastors have been exposed quoting from these cards. They claim the Holy spirit told them, even though the information on the card was false. (In one instance they even managed to record the radio feed going into the pastors ear-piece…)

One thing that had bothered me while looking at these street guys was the lack of follow-up. You have to search a while to find someone that actually follows this healing with a conversation about salvation, which is odd, because that should really be the end goal of these activities.

What good is it to have a leg grow out, when the soul is ignored? I’d rather limp into heaven..

Now, this is a difficult subject, because it involves a lot of false teaching going along with the “miracles”Here are a few hints that you have encountered one of these guys:

They often deny that Jesus was both God and human on earth.

They often tie answered prayer (ie; getting what you want) to your faith. So if you have a chronical illness, or you are poor, it must be because you don’t have enough faith.

They quote scripture with verses out of context and don’t read whole bible passages.

When questioned or rebuked, they call people evil and lost, instead of just explaining how they came to interpret a verse in a certain way. (There’s a great example online of a preacher who prophesies over the local pastor, calling him a man of God and all good things, but when he calls her out on the false teaching, she calls him a demon and has him removed. So she’s basically saying that her prophesy was bull…)

For some reason, your step of faith almost always involves giving money, and if you give your last scrap of cash, that’s really strong faith and God will make you rich. As a consequence of this, people lose their homes, but guess who’s got a mansion? (To be clear, there are MANY verses in the bible that go against the connectiong between money and blessings.)

They often cite their personal revelations to justify why they go against the bible. (”I have the spirit, so I don’t need to follow the bible”)

Some even claim that God has the power, but they channel and control the miracles, and that’s a really diminishing portrait of God.

Now, I could rant on, and I’d really like to, because this is serious stuff. There are people that die because these preachers tell them to throw away their medicines. A young girl was told that when she wasn’t healed is was her fault for having sin in her life, so she killed herself instead.

But what I really advise you to do is to study this for yourself, because there is a lot to look at, so I’ll just give you some resources here to help you find out for yourself.

1. Start by wathcing the documentary “Miracles for sale“ by Derren Brown. (It’s on Youtube)

Even though he’s not a believer as far as I know, he treats the faith and the believers with great respect, this show goes after the faking guys. He trains a regular guy in all the tricks and manipulations, and the result is mind-boggling.

2. Then look at what Justin Peters has to say. He has plenty of teachings on Youtube, and in contrast to the false teachers, he uses the bible for reference. (If you ask him a question about for example verse 4, he’ll say: “Sure, let’s look at it, but we’ll start at verse 1, so we can get the context.”

3. Another guy who in my mind has sound and sensible teaching is Greg Boyd. He’s a well studied scholar, and can reference the original greek and hebrew words and their meaning like it’s ingrained in his head.

4. Being a metal head, I would also recommend you look at pastor Bob Beeman, and his video blog “Pastor Bob daily”. He’s sensible and sound, and knows life outside the box.I was thinking about whether or not I would name names, and I thought I’d rather have you look for yourself - and you WILL find them. I am also aware that mentioning names may trigger defenses if you are into one of them, like I was. I was just lucky enough that there was already a part of my brain that thought something was off.

But then I realized that it can be quite a wide search, so I’ll give you a couple of  guys to start with:Todd White, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Bill Johnson. Oh, and basically the “Word of Faith” and “New Apostolic Revolution” movements.

Happy hunting, but be aware that this can shake you up quite a bit, when things you may have trusted turn out to be empty.

It did for me. I found myself walking through the mall hoping to meet someone who would fix my bad knees, but I’m glad I never did, because when the placebo and adrenalie wears off, both the knees and heart would hurt.

Remember to read the bible yourself without an agenda, and to pray and ask God to show you his love and to show you what’s real. 

Because it’s all there - you just have to look past the carnival show that’s taking focus from the loving arms of Jesus, who wants you to come as you are and just marinate in his unconditional love, that’s always free and always available.

Where are you now?

I can see why, and completely understand why people turn to religion. Especially in hard times. I wonder if those people pray as much on a normal day as they do a bad one.

I was religious once. Devoutly so. I was brought up into the religion of Spiritualism. I went to a spiritualist church from the age of around 4/5 ish. Even then, at that age, I bought into the concept of life after death. Even then, there was a comfort in “knowing” we weren’t ever just completely gone...that we went somewhere else after our bodies failed us. I found that, as an older teenager/young adult, I developed even more comfort in this concept. I was more devout in my religion then ever. I fully and wholeheartedly believed that spirit were around me all the time, that some mediums had the ability to be a vessel to aid in healing, to be able to talk to our loved ones after they left this world and moved onto the next. I believed and trusted in this with all of my heart and every atom of my soul. I lived and loved my religion on a daily basis. I practiced in Wicca and read tarot cards (with amazing accuracy). I read horoscopes and believed in balancing my chakras and crystals that healed me.

Then, after turning 26, I quit drugs. Despite that sounding like a horrendous punch line, it’s true. I got clean after an awful, messy love affair with alcohol, weed and prescription opiates. And when I was about 3 months clean I watched a Derren Brown show. In this show he basically disproved mediumship. He used his own abilities to disprove spiritualism. I was in awe and heartbroken all at once. My dear friend, Lee (@radiomoths), was a witness to my undoing. I felt like 26 years of my life had been a complete lie (which it had, to be fair). I felt shame, pain, confusion and anger. It hurt like hell and I didn’t know what the fuck to think. Shortly after this painful epiphany, I discovered Richard Dawkins and became an atheist. I despised the concept of God, I hated all religions and their practices. I despised religious teachings in school and would turn my head, or crossed the road, if I saw a spiritualist church. I threw out and gave away all my spiritualist/Wiccan/occult/Crystal/healing/religious books. I made it perfectly clear to everyone that this is who I am now. Jemma Kennett...militant atheist and hater of God and religions.

But now...now I’ve lost so many people. My Uncle Al, my Nannie, my beloved cat, Sootybean, and now my poor, darling, beloved Father...now I WANT to be religious again. I want that comfort blanket of thinking “Its ok because he’s just in the spirit world. I’ll see him again”. I want that so much. I’ve even considered going to a spiritualist church...sitting at the back as inconspicuous as possible and hoped I would get a “message” from a medium.

I sit and imagine my father, chilling out with his mates in the spirit world. Having a drink and a laugh. Back to his old self with not a single sign or trace of cancer. This imagining brings be so much comfort.

But that’s all it is, isn’t it?

Imagining.

He’s gone. They all are. And I’ll never see or hear or smell or touch him or any of them ever again. They aren’t anywhere at all anymore. All I have left of any of them are photographs and memories.

It just doesn’t seem fair.

The goal-reaching techniques of our age amount to highly rationalised tricks that try to fool our lacklustre emotions into coming onboard, or bypass our feelings altogether. We are very eager to learn how we form good habits. And how we can cheat motivation. Such is the modern obsession with top-down techniques, which have a tendency to read well and inspire effectively on the page, but then come up short in the real world. Let’s not treat willpower as a troublesome and evasive beast that needs to be beaten into submission. If Schopenhauer is right, it’s bigger than all of us. Might there be a bottom-up approach instead? One that builds from the bed of our emotions to point this powerful Will in a helpful direction, rather than a hoped-for trickle-down from a set of direct and conscious techniques? Deliberate tactics, whether to form habits or guarantee the seduction of an intended mate, sell themselves as life-hacks, as if they make a strenuous thing easier. But on the briefest examination, they unpack not into a few effective principles but a difficult tangle of procedures for this or that. There is something topsy-turvy in the amount of deliberate work recommended to encourage a single new habit. ‘Commit to Thirty Days’ demands one site, offering familiar enough advice: ‘Make it Daily’. The lingering work ethic of our Protestant forebears still haunts us. The elegant solution, by contrast, is always to change something small to create the largest effect. Also, if the Will’s power is unconscious, why do we persist in trying to engage it consciously? What if we engage with our aims and hopes from this opposite direction? What would we like our emotional resources to achieve if they could be put to use? When we wish to succeed in some plan across time, we need to sacrifice certain short-term pleasures for longer-term benefits. Such is our challenge. Perhaps we must face a fear now because we know the benefits will be worthwhile. We must exercise or choose to study rather than socialise, because it will serve us better in the future. We must in essence learn to shore up our reserves, and persevere in the face of temptation. To rely on sustained conscious effort is to fight a losing battle: it invariably leads to diminishing returns, as we struggle to maintain the fight. It’s precisely the worst means of encouraging tenacity.

Derren Brown, A Book of Secrets: Finding Solace in a Stubborn World

[mike-ge-blog]

Mentalism is a significantly newer magic type than the majority of the various other styles of magic tricks around though it is in addition among most remarkable. Nowadays just about everybody has seen a rabbit actually being yanked from a hat or maybe someone properly guessing the card which they picked from a deck though something which the majority of folks haven't seen is mentalism secret and also when they start to get it done entirely blows them out.

This's since mentalism provides the impression that the mentalist can examine someones head and it is just about frightening when a person initially witnesses an illusion of this particular kind as it appears to be downright extremely hard and like somebody is in fact inside of the head of theirs.

Mentalism Secrets

But truly mentalism is merely a clever science which revolves around comprehending man behaviour and predicting different results to imitate the action of reading through somebodies mind. You can read more about it at http://www.mentalismminds.com/how-to-become-a-mentalist/.

Mentalism started to be popular more recently because of mental magicians as Derren Brown who have conducted extraordinary mentalism tricks on tv though it is still left many folks thinking how on Earth did he do that here?

Very well today we are able to disclose for you the three largest mentalism tricks available to provide you with plenty of insight into the way these techniques truly work.

Secret #1? See The Lips of theirs A mentalist will usually inform someone in their market in order to think of a word or maybe product and also to repeat it again and again. Next while the mentalists rambles on about something or perhaps other and the individual is thinking that term in their mind in they will really very slightly move the lips of theirs in the manner that the term that they're considering has been said without really saying it and all without actually realising it.

If the mentalist is attentive they're able to get on this and guess the term or maybe product that the individual is imagining of. The most effective method is focusing on getting the last and first letters of the term after that is gets reasonably simple to pack in the center and successfully guess the term.

Secret #2? Misdirection Is actually Everything By far one of the greatest methods to persuade someone you're reading through the thoughts of theirs and are a genuine mentalist is planting a thought into their brain so you realize full well what it's and this can be achieved through misdirection. Misdirecting happens when you through words as well as body language get the subject to subconsciously concentrate on one therefore whenever you ask them to think of one thing that's the things they imagine.

For instance in case you subtly function a work in many times into your daily like watch' after which quickly look at the watch of yours as you're performing the regime and make this happen in the proper way and then in case you are going asking that individual to think of an addition they'll usually consider a wrist watch.

Furthermore person is going to think they thought of it which nothing was had by you to accomplish with it. Basically this functions because individuals are a lot more suggestible than they'd realise or even frequently love to acknowledge!

Secret #3? Fish For Information A fantastic way to acquire info from an issue is actually by fishing for. Fishing for info is accomplished by saying general and broad statements that appear to the topic as in case you've somehow read through their mind when truly it might use to almost anyone or anything.

For instance several mentalists are going to say something along the collections of I am seeing the number nineteen actually strongly does this mean a thing to someone? to the audience of theirs and sure enough somebody will likely have a relationship with that amount in a way and also step forward and after that you are able to fish for more info and much more info until you've seemingly read the mind of theirs!

Learn the key that master mentalists use to mystify their viewers If you are prepared to uncover precisely the way the best mentalists around blow their viewers brains then you are likely to wish to evaluate this out.

These easy and simple to master methods are going to leave individuals so FLOORED that they will begin to question in case you truly could read through the mind of theirs.

Dangerous Air Quality, Phone/Internet Savings, Scandal at Crystalline, Telemedicine

SAG/AFTRA member Cynthia Brian continues Wednesdays with Writers and Performers on StarStyle® giving authors, actors, artists, and entertainers who have had their live performances and events canceled due to Covid-19 a platform to shine. Find out how brilliant our world talent is right here on StarStyle®-Be the Star You Are!®

The air quality in California because of the fires is worse than in New Delhi. The concentration of the tiny particles (PM2.5) is roughly five times the daily average limit set by the EPA. Healthy people are reporting bloody noses, difficulty breathing, and headaches. Stay indoors with the windows shut and fans circulating. Poor air quality, particularly during wildfire season, is one of the most important environmental issues facing the state of California.

As with all utility bills, it’s easy to pay automatically then forget it. But you may be paying too much for too little. Review your plan at least twice yearly to make sure you are making use of current deals and your current usage. 

A Scandal at Crystalline by Roslyn Reid is a darkly funny mystery novel. It reveals the sinister side of raku pottery and kicks off a series of quirky mysteries set in Maine, featuring Black private detective James Early and his teenage son Tikki.

When you make an appointment to speak with your physician by phone, tablet, or computer, the visit is called “telemedicine”. Although it’s been available for a few years, Covid-19 has made telemedicine a safer way to interact with health care providers. Will it become routine? 

Bio: Author Roslyn Reid lives with her corgi, Great Pyrenees, and husband in Maine, where she gardens, lifts weights, hikes, and renovates houses. Her articles have been featured in Llewellyn’s annual almanacs for almost two decades (with reprint requests) and in publications such as Dalraida, a Celtic heritage magazine based in Scotland. She was 4th runner-up in "The Mentalist" (TV show) Writers’ 2013 InternationalPhoto/Caption Contest. In 2014, Down East, "The Magazine of Maine," ran some of her blurbs, and a local newspaper requested an article. Other writers have quoted her in such diverse stories as “What Is Derren Brown’s #Miracle?”, a Spotify short story by Jason Edge; and the Daytona News-Journal

Broadway is always big on Thanksgiving. If Olaf the snowman isn’t on stage in “Frozen” at the St. James on Thanksgiving Day, he IS in the air as a balloon in the Thanksgiving Day parade, AND “Frozen” has TWO performances both the day before and the day after Thanksgiving Day.

Below is the Broadway schedule for Thanksgiving Week, with links to my reviews, followed by five of these I most recommend, and another five that are especially suitable for young children.

Five Broadway shows are scheduled to perform on Thanksgiving Day — Chicago, Jagged Little Pill (which hasn’t opened yet), The Lightning Thief, Phantom of the Opera, Torch and Waitress. All the others are dark that day, but most have added matinees on Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, and 15 have even added performances on the Monday, before Thanksgiving.

And, let’s not forget the Broadway shows performing at the 93rd Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, kicking off at 9 AM (and broadcast on NBC): Ain’t Too Proud, Beetlejuice, Hadestown, Tina…and, as usual, the Radio City Rockettes. (All performances are early in the broadcast.)  Also glimpse Broadway veterans Billy Porter, atop Rexy in the City float from COACH, Idina Menzel on the Deck the Halls float from Balsam Hill, and Lea Michele on the Central Park float from Macy’s.

Broadway Recommended

Here are four shows that have opened this year, and one that’s a must-see if you can afford it (or win the lottery), listed  in alphabetical order. Many of these are difficult to get last-minute tickets to at the box office  — check there first (or the show’s website)  —   or, if you’re open to risk, try the lower-priced lotteries and/or rush tickets (which are available the day of the show.)  I also link below to a secondary market ticket seller.

AIN’T TOO PROUD: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF THE TEMPTATIONS Imperial Theater (249 West 45th St. NYC) Opened: Mar 21, 2019 Twitter: @AintTooProud

My review

Fans of 1960’s Motown are in for a treat in this musical whose performers can sing and dance as well as the Temptations — and act too.

Andre De Shields

HADESTOWN Walter Kerr (219 W 48th Street, New York, NY 10036) Opened: April 17, 2019 Twitter: @hadestown

My review

This sung-through musical taking place in Hell adapts the Greek myth of retrieving his wife Eurydice from the Underworld. Anaïs Mitchell’s score features sweet and sexy folk music, rocking jazz, and down-home blues.

Digital lottery: $42.50

Hadestown also has $39 standing room when the show is sold out.

James Monroe Iglehart as Thomas Jefferson

HAMILTON Richard Rodgers (226 W. 46th St., New York, NY) Opened: August 6, 2015 @HamiltonMusical

I loved this hip hop musical about American founding father Alexander Hamilton,  Off-Broadway ,  on Broadway  and now with the new cast , finding it ground-breaking and breathtaking.

There IS a daily lottery online  where you can try your luck at snagging one of the tickets for only  $10 (because Hamilton’s face is on the ten-dollar bill.)

Tickets to Hamilton

Samuel H. Levine, Kyle Soller and Andrew Burnap in The Inheritance

THE INHERITANCE Ethel Barrymore Opened: November 17, 2019 Twitter:@Inheritanceplay

My review

This is a long, ambitious play in nearly seven hours over two parts about three generations of gay men in New York. It is worth your time for the astonishing performances, including that of Lois Smith.

$40 General Rush

Tickets to The Inheritance

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD Shubert Theater (225 W 44th Street, New York, NY 10036) Opened: December 13, 2018 Twitter: @mockingbirdbway

My review (with the old cast)

Aaron Sorkin has adapted Harper Lee’s beloved novel to focus more on the murder trial of an unjustly accused black man who is defended by Atticus Finch. But Scout, her brother Jem and her friend Dill  still feature in the show, all played by adults. A largely new cast led by Ed Harris and Nina Grollman has just taken over,

General rush: $29 to $49

Broadway shows for young children

Major Attaway as the Genie

Aladdin

The genie ( now Major Attaway)  is the one who provides the bulk of the entertainment, morphing from showbiz master of ceremonies to carnival barker to infomercial huckster to game show host to Cab Calloway-like zoot-suiter to disco dj to hip-hopper in a Hawaiian shirt, to yes, a sparkling-suited magical genie who emerges amid smoke from a little lamp. Every number over which he presides – nearly every moment he is on stage –  answers the question that fans of the 1992 film Aladdin might have wondered about: How would Disney be able to translate to the stage the protean cartoon character of genie voiced by Robin Williams at his peak?  Also new to the cast: Telly Leung as Aladdin!

Tickets to Aladdin

The Lion King

Disney celebrated The Lion King’s 20th anniversary on Broadway last year with lots of self-congratulations, but in this case it is deserved. Based on the 1994 Disney animated film about the coming-of-age of a young lion in the African jungle, this musical offers African-inflected music by Elton John, lyrics by Tim Rice and the visual magic of Julie Taymor. Taymor is the director, and a composer and lyricist for some of the songs. But above all, she is the designer of the costumes, masks, and puppets — and it is these visuals that make this show a good first theatrical experience — and worthwhile for any theatergoer no matter how experienced.

Wicked

Wicked NY

The musical tells the story of “The Wizard of Oz” from the witches’ perspective, more specifically from the Wicked Witch of the West, who was not, as a child, wicked at all, but just green-tinted, taunted, and misunderstood. There is so much to like about this musical, the clever twists on the familiar tale, the spectacular set, and music that is a lot more appealing in context (such as the song “Defying Gravity”) that I will forgive the contortions necessary to tack on a happy ending.
