Many mystics, even in modern times, claim to be familiar with such an invisible network we humans can tap into. In his Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda recalls a curious and inspiring incident, which occurred as he made a bet with his brother in India (see Yogananda, 2003, pp. 93-101). After his brother Ananta scolded him for being foolish pursuing spiritual goals without backing up his life financially (‘Money first, God can come later!’), the yogi accepted the challenge of completing a journey without taking a single rupee with him, only relying on the Invisible Hand to provide for food and shelter. The brother stated the rules: no begging, no revealing of the situation to anyone, but if he can arrive without ever going without a meal or becoming stranded, he would become his disciple. Paramahansa Yogananda completed the challenge famously, proving for his family that he can sense and use a connection to all-there-is: a connection which sustains his life, helps him to survive and guides his way.

I came across my first suggestive evidence that humans may indeed use an invisible network on a larger scale, while doing research in South Africa. The topic of the thesis I worked on at that time was legal anthropology and as such unrelated, but a human rights lawyer I interviewed told me something unexpected. He was working together with the Sān (or Bushmen) people (the indigenous hunter-gatherers of Southern Africa) on a close, intensive basis. One day the Sān took him on a hunt, during which – the lawyer observed – they always knew in what bush or behind which tree an animal was hiding, even if it wasn’t visible. Their predictions were so accurate that he started asking them about it. The Sān revealed that they felt a vibration in-between their eyebrows when the prey was nearby.

In his book The Lost World of the Kalahari, Laurens van der Post tells of a similar experience he had while hunting with the Bushmen. During this hunt, the Bushmen killed an eland, which was cause for great celebration. They said that the others who stayed behind at the camp will know about the kill by the time they return, because within the tribe they have an inbuilt, natural ‘wire’ (like the telegraph of the white man), which invisibly connects its members. Van der Post describes it as a humbling experience as they marched back and from afar in the dark, long before they were visible to the people home, they could already hear the people home singing the errand song (van der Post, 1962, pp. 236-237).

Other anthropologists who have studied the Sān with an open mind, similarly discovered that for this people, invisible ‘energies’ which convey information and/or power, are a normal part of their socially accepted reality. Anthropologist Bradford Keenly describes how Bushmen believe that there is a ‘silver stream of energy’ extending between them which allows for sending and receiving telepathic messages (Keenly cited by Mauro, 2015, p. 66). Lewis-Williams and Pearce (2004, pp. 104-105), who have done extensive work on San rock art correlating to certain altered states of consciousness, point out that those rock art images are not simply ‘pictures’ to be looked at and admired. They are deposits of a type of energy or power, which a ‘good person’ can access by placing his or her hand on the image.

Anecdotal evidence such as this can be found in abundance, not only with the San people. Loren McIntyre, the iconic National Geographic explorer and writer recalls an incident when he was lost in the Amazon region and ended up living with an uncontacted tribe for months. Even though they could not speak each other’s languages, he became so immersed in their – entirely different – culture that he found access to their ‘second language,’ a type of telepathy which he referred to as beaming (Popescu, 1991). Biologist Rupert Sheldrake has collected over five thousand case histories to illustrate this type of instinctual, telepathic communication. He thinks of this as part of our evolutionary heritage, which used to aid our survival and therefore works best in life-and-death, emergency or distress situations involving intense emotions (Sheldrake, 2004).

Peugeot celebrate Le Mans-winning 905 with special livery for centenary race | WEC

Peugeot will replace their regular grey livery with a striking alternative design at the Le Mans 24 Hours. The manufacturer team has revealed a special livery for its two 9X8 cars. It was created by Spanish artist J Demsky and presented at Milan Design Week. Peugeot design director Matthias Hossann said the new look is styled to celebrate its 905, which won the endurance classic in 1992 and 1993. “The Peugeot 905 is an icon of the nineties whose energy and creativity we wanted to celebrate,” said Hossann. “J Demsky shares this passion and this inspiration.” This year’s Le Mans 24 Hours will mark the 100th anniversary of the endurance classic. In addition to its back-to-back wins in the nineties, Peugeot scored a third triumph in 2009 with the 908 HDi FAP. It last contested the race in 2011 when it took second, third and fourth places behind the race-winner Audi. Peugeot will enter two of its 9X8s for this year’s race. The number 93 car is shared by Jean-Eric Vergne, Paul di Resta and Mikkel Jensen, and the number 94 belongs to Loic Duval, Gustavo Menezes and Nico Mueller. The latter scored their best result of the season so far in Portugal last weekend, finishing fifth. The 9X8s will appear in their regular colour scheme one more time at the Spa Six Hours later this month before reappearing in their new look.

hiiiiiiiii wcif mauro's hair? he's so handsome, he up for download???

Hello

Mauro's hair is from the Store. You can find my retexture here in my Store retexture folder. It is called OWilson. It is huge but it has preview pictures. You can change the size of the preview icons to be larger on the upper right side. You do not need the Store hair for my retexture to work.

As for Mauro, he is one of the old sims from my Lovelace legacy and he is not available to download, sorry.

“Modern Heroes,” (white fiberglass, replica of original marble sculpture, 6 x 6 x 2.5 feet), features pop art emulations of comic book-like icons of masculinity (based on the artist’s own visage). They are positioned in a gesture referential to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel ceiling. It is an iconic example of Perucchetti’s commentary on the modern Western World, in this case a reflection of his belief in marriage equality. The artwork was previously exhibited in front of Le Louvre in Paris, France in 2013.

Beyond the Field Unveiling the Management Gems in "The Coach Makes the Difference"

Imagine cracking open a sports book that not only provides insight into a specific sport but also offers a treasure chest of useful management knowledge. That's the delightful surprise that awaits readers of Mauro van de Looij's "The Coach Makes the Difference." While the book uses football (soccer) as its central theme, Van de Looij, a seasoned sports psychologist and coach, masterfully translates these lessons into a universal language for anyone in a leadership role.

Even the most football-averse readers, like Elly Stroo Cloek, Book Reviewer 1001 ManagementBook find themselves captivated by Van de Looij's engaging writing style and the wealth of practical insights.

The book delves into core leadership concepts like:

Leadership Styles: Van de Looij explores the spectrum of leadership styles, using iconic football coaches like Louis van Gaal and Pep Guardiola as case studies.  He illustrates how effective leaders adapt their approach based on the situation and the team's competence level.

Motivation Unleashed: The book dives deep into the power of intrinsic motivation, the kind that fuels passion and dedication.  Van de Looij draws from renowned figures like Edward Deci and Daniel Pink,  highlighting the importance of fostering Autonomy, Competence, and Relatedness to keep your team intrinsically motivated.

Growth Mindset Matters: Van de Looij emphasizes the importance of Carol Dweck's growth mindset, encouraging leaders to cultivate a culture of learning and development where setbacks are seen as opportunities rather than failures.

The Right Selection:  The book explores selection strategies, drawing a parallel to the recruitment process in businesses. Van de Looij sheds light on the "birth month effect,” explained in Malcolm Gladwell's work, where older children might get an initial advantage due to physical maturity, but true talent and long-term success hinge on more than just physical prowess.

Vision & Alignment:  Van de Looij tackles the crucial task of creating a shared vision and gaining buy-in from all stakeholders, including a notoriously challenging group – parents in youth sports. His practical tips can be readily applied to any management setting.

These are just a few of the gems waiting to be discovered in "The Coach Makes the Difference."  As a whole, the book is a treasure chest of practical advice and real-world examples backed by solid psychological theory. Van de Looij seamlessly blends his expertise in sports psychology with real-world knowledge, making the concepts relatable and simple even to readers with no prior football knowledge or experience.

The book covers additional topics than just sports exercises and strategies. Van de Looij emphasizes the value of mental health by promoting healthy and open communication among team members. He also talks about how to create goals that are realistic and keep players motivated by using sprints and the agile approach. Be it the art of providing constructive feedback, defining many vital skills that are necessary for any leader, or empowering team members to have more confidence—Van de Looij emphasizes the importance of focusing on controllable elements and setting realistic goals to ensure you will get the best results and to maintain your calm even when the situation is out of control.

"The Coach Makes the Difference" is a well-structured guide. Each chapter concludes with a summary,  and QR codes provide access to insightful video clips featuring iconic figures like Johan Cruyff and Kobe Bryant, in which the extensive references allow readers to delve deeper into specific topics.

Whether you're a seasoned manager or a passionate coach leading a local team, "The Coach Makes the Difference" offers valuable insights that can be applied in any leadership setting. Van de Looij's people-centric approach fosters a positive and supportive environment where individuals can thrive,  leading to improved performance and a more rewarding experience for everyone involved.  

So, the next time you step into a leadership role, remember the lessons from the field. With the right approach,  you, too, can make a significant and lasting difference to achieve success.
