You wonder if you will ever find any relief from your misery. Your constant companions are hopelessness and extreme discomfort. Fortunately, after you read this short article, you will feel renewed hope and you will realize a pleasurable life is yours for the taking. At the conclusion of this article I reveal where you can...
•Life, Human Action and Universal Harmony
Do you ever think about your trials and tribulations and wonder if life is worth the daily effort you must put forth? You’ve probably noticed that as soon as one desire is satisfied a new one pops up and demands satisfaction. You feel as if you are on an endless treadmill of attempting to satisfy wants and desires.
Are you familiar with the ‘Four Noble Truths” of Buddhist philosophy? They are:
1. Life means suffering.
2. The origin of suffering is attachment.
3. The cessation of suffering is...
•Permanent Relief From Back Pain
Apparently, severe pain in the lower back is rather common, affecting up to 90% of Americans at some point in their lifetime. In fact, almost 50% suffer more than one episode.
Did you know that low back pain is second only to the common cold as a reason people miss work? It’s also one of the most common reasons people seek medical treatment.
Now, I could list all the symptoms, but I don’t think it’s necessary. From your point of view, you know that you experience extreme discomfort and at...
•Permanent Relief From Panic Attacks
You may wonder what causes panic attacks. If you are one of those unfortunate individuals who suffer from them you’re mainly concerned about how to get rid of them. In order to find relief from panic effects it’s important to understand what causes them and how to find permanent relief these unwelcome attacks.
You’ve heard about the “fight or flight” response. The rush of adrenaline you receive from a threat to your life is a necessary survival mechanism. This was especially so back in days of...
•The Secret Remedies For Arthritis Pain
Are you suffering from arthritis pain? Let’s discover what the symptoms of this disease are.
Did you know there are over 100 different types of arthritis? What this means is—the symptoms vary considerably. Fortunately, certain signs point directly to this debilitating disease.
Here’s what’s important in pinpointing this disease. All types have something in common. They cause symptoms that negatively affect the musculoskeletal system.
Some of the symptoms include pain and limited function of...
•Causes of Eczema and the Solution
If you suffer from eczema, you know how terrible it is. The red swollen skin, along with the intense itching, causes you to scratch so hard you actually start bleeding.
Severe sufferers have such dry, scaly skin, that something we take for granted such as drying off with a towel, can cause them to bleed. It’s difficult for a non-sufferer to know the pain they go through.
It’s bad enough to have to deal with this, but the inflicted person is also more prone to bacterial and viral infections....
•Panic Attack Fear
You may wonder what the difference between anxiety, anxiety attacks and panic attacks are. To make this easy for you we’ll assume that anxiety and panic attacks are the same. So that means we only have to distinguish the difference between these vicious attacks and regular anxiety.
Anxiety
I’m sure you know what anxiety is. Let’s say fear is your constant companion. Each day certain thoughts and situations cause you to experience it. Let’s go one step further and say you become physically...
•Obviously, You Must be Kept Dumb
Our political and financial establishment lives by the motto “You must be kept dumb.” How else can you explain the financial raping the good citizens of our once great nation are subjected to? The bailout swindles demonstrate that our government believes its citizens are “dumb as rocks.” Most of our representatives have the gall to believe that you will accept their bamboozling forevermore.
I believe you are smart enough to feel outraged by the above. Talk about blatant disregard of your...
•Obviously – It’s Impossible
You probably already know that we are suffering through a severe economic crisis. In fact, some are already calling it the “Greater Depression.” In this environment you may be wondering how it is possible for you to accomplish any of your goals and desires. Many people believe “It’s Impossible.”
Illusion
Have you noticed that the majority of people believe that they are at the mercy of our economic calamity? The despairing individual is as a falling leaf in the wind. He fears losing his job,...
•Happiness - State of Mind – State of Being
Let’s face it. We are living in difficult times. Economic crisis threatens to remove our wallets and purses from our possession and extract the remaining wealth we may still possess. Not only that, it chips away at our fragile peace of mind, throwing some of the pleasures we once experienced into the abyss of no return. What is the lone individual to do to salvage a pleasurable, rewarding life for him and his loved ones?
The Illusion
Too many people think that happiness is an external affair....
•How to Understand Value For Value Relationships and Profit From Them
In many of my articles, I have mentioned the importance of value for value relationships. In fact, your success in life depends on cultivating these types of relationships and making them an ongoing part of your life.
The Types of Exchanges
First we are going to distinguish the difference between voluntary and involuntary exchange. It is individuals such as you who are involved in exchanges. In any two person exchange, one sells (gives) and the other buys (receives). "Society" cannot take...
•Hope – Even When There Doesn’t Seem to Be Any
It’s a season of celebration, but that doesn’t erase the difficult times many people are facing. And it doesn’t erase the holiday blues, the post-holiday blues or the blues of a new year that severely diminish the quality of life for a depressed person and his or her loved ones. If you are suffering this fate, it seems that hope is just a word you’ve heard somewhere before. In fact you believe you might have possessed it in the distant past. If so, you realize that you lost it somewhere along...
•Where Do We Go From Here?
The National Bureau of Economic Research has announced that the U.S. has been in a recession since December 2007. Now that’s what I call breaking news. I’m sure Americans are shocked by this latest development. Gee, talk about old news. Unless a person is in a coma, they are no doubt already painfully aware of our economic crisis. Once an establishment institution admits something that everyone knows—you know the situation is critical.
Let’s stare reality straight in the eyes. Our economy is...
•The Individualist, The Altruist And The Call To Sacrifice
With the economy unraveling I’m sure that altruists, do-gooders and world-improvers will put out the call for sacrifice. They will claim “those that have must help those who need.” You know the old Karl Marx belief promoting communism—which never considers that needs are unlimited and resources are scarce. After all, we are suffering through a national economic crisis. It is a person’s patriotic duty to sacrifice for the common good. Since some intransigent individuals might believe they have...
•Indebtedness, Guilt and Overcoming Adversity
We are currently experiencing a severe economic recession—one that portends extremely difficult times ahead. It is true that some people prosper whether it is good times or bad times—although even they face hard challenges. Tragically, the majority of people are struggling to keep their heads above water—unlikely to survive the tsunami that quickly follows the economic earthquake that is certain to wreck our economy.
Does the above scenario scare you? It should—but it shouldn’t frighten you...
•The Truth About Deflationary Collapses
The war is on—that is the war against the ravaging force of deflation. “Economists” declare that an all out effort must be made to eradicate that demon known as deflation. They tell us that falling prices are the equivalent of a depression—that will make the 30’s look innocuous in comparison. On the advice of these so-called experts of economic analysis, the government along with Federal Reserve System embarks on humongous bailout maneuvers to save us from this deadly enemy of prosperity and...
•The Age Of Despair -- And Hope
Everyday we are swamped with bad news. The deluge of unwanted news arrives in the form of bank failures, old established financial firms biting the dust, stock markets plunging, precipitous drops in consumer spending, unemployment soaring, etc. etc. etc. And to make matters worse some of the news hits home—affecting our personal and financial well-being. Is it any wonder that despair is no longer just creeping in—but blindsiding us. What are we to do?
A Dependency on the Impossible
Sadly,...
•What the World Needs Now Is:
"What the World Needs Now Is Love" a song written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach, performed by Jackie DeShannon, was a top 10 song during the summer of 1965. It captures the “love” movement of the 60’s. Although the poets, philosophers and songwriters have waxed on about the sublime heights of love for centuries there appears to be a scarcity of it in our modern world. The negative emotions of fear, guilt and envy seem to reign supreme.
The world certainly could use an abundance of love. Many...
•Rational Selfishness and Going the Extra Mile
Success philosophers and gurus advocate “going the extra mile” as a prerequisite for accumulating riches. They claim that only the individual who gives more than he is receives—or is willing to put in the extra effort without any immediate returns reaps the benefits of success and prosperity. In his book “The Master Key to Riches” Napoleon Hill convincingly presents his case for achieving success through a positive mental attitude—definiteness of purpose—and going the extra mile to achieve your...
•Illusions and the Anti-Life Philosophy of Destruction and Despair
The last work Ayn Rand planned before her death in 1982 was a series of essays released as the book “Philosophy: Who Needs It.” Her conclusion is that everyone needs philosophy. Unfortunately many people drift through life without any exact philosophical principles guiding their existence. They willy-nilly pick up and saturate their mind with bits and pieces of information—information that cannot be integrated in a coherent philosophy of life. They hold on to these contradictory “ideas” as if...
•The Road That Leads to Nowhere – The Road That Leads to You
In the song “Pilgrim” Enya beautifully sings about a philosophy of being—a metaphysical way to joyously live your life. The second verse reveals timeless wisdom.
“One way leads to diamonds, one way leads to gold,
another leads you only to everything your told.
In your heart you wonder which of these is true;
The road that leads to nowhere, the road that leads to you.”
One Way Leads to Diamonds – One Way Leads to Gold
Roads that lead to either diamonds or gold are no doubt fruitful paths to...
•What is the Meaning of Life - Why Are We Here?
Many people have pondered the question: What is the meaning of life—why are we here? After much reflection, most conclude that this question is unanswerable. Tragically, some decide that life has little or no meaning. A fortunate few arrive at a place where they say "Yes! I understand. My life does have meaning." They realize that the answer isn't something outside of who they are. The answer is in the nature of their existence.
Rational Selfishness versus Altruism
An individual must live for...
•I Am Here - What is My Purpose?
Many people have undoubtedly asked themselves what their purpose in life is. Others go through life without any purpose—drifting aimlessly—seeking instant gratification. A fortunate few discover their purpose in life at a young age.
I believe that having a mission in life should be a person's main purpose for living. Without a mission, a mission that an individual pursues with excitement and passion—life often turns into drudgery—a drudgery that haunts the individual day after day.
Some...
•Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 6
You believe that you are a rational individual who has control over his thoughts, feelings and emotions. You take effective actions to achieve your goals. Yet, you don’t appear to be moving closer to what it is you so much desire. You are frustrated and at your wits end. And you wonder how you are going to survive the coming economic chaos. You even consider giving in to irrationally selfish behaviors. If things aren’t going to get any better—you feel that you might as well drink, smoke, drug...
•Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 5
A person may believe that he embraces the philosophy of rational selfishness—but still not have control of his thoughts, feelings and emotions. Because of this he acts in an irrationally selfish manner—especially when presented with unpleasant circumstances.
I guarantee that the coming economic chaos will bring out the worst in many people. Jealousy, envy, anger, hate, revenge, covetousness and despair will be plentiful. The misery index soars to the stratosphere. You certainly don’t want to...
•Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 4
Beginning with the creation of those wealth destroying entities called the Federal Reserve System and the Federal Income Tax—politicians, altruists, government bureaucrats and the establishment media have existed for one purpose—and one purpose only—to destroy the capitalistic system and “The American Way of Life.” And tragically they have succeeded quite well. As incredible as it might seem the voters have unwittingly supported them in their evil mission of destruction.
As I mentioned earlier...
•Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos - Part 3
In Part 1, I mentioned that you must avoid the social philosophy of altruism. In Part 2, I explained how irrational selfishness in others and yourself is detrimental to your success and happiness. During good times these cause much mischief and mark the beginning of social and personal decline. During the coming economic chaos they will be deadly for your overall well-being.
You may be asking “Well, what am I supposed to do? I fear for the future of our nation, my loved ones and myself. Or you...
•Personal Salvation During the Coming Economic Chaos – Part 2
In Part 1 I discussed the destructiveness of social altruism and the pitfalls of personal altruism. Irrational selfishness ties in with altruism because altruists need irrationally selfish people. Often they go hand in hand—attempting to achieve the same illogical goals. Other times it is the self-destructive actions of the irrationally selfish that give altruists, do-gooders, world improvers and politicians something to moralize about—and unfortunately something to campaign against.
One...
•The Mythical Belief - Government Ought to Do Something
People act as if the government possesses magical powers that can solve all of our individual and social ills. All this mythical entity has to do is wave its wand and all our problems vanish in a blink of an eye. I know—most people would state that this belief is ridiculous. However, is that what they really think? I can prove that the majority of people act as if this were true.
How many times have you heard someone say "Government ought to do something?" I don't know about you, but I've been...
•The Truth About Government "Solutions"
It is obvious that America has become a nation of individuals who want immediate satisfaction and short-term "solutions." A perfect example is our current financial crisis-a crisis caused by the easy money policy of The Federal Reserve System. And what is amazing is that the vast majority of the people have supported this shortsighted inflationary scam.
Apparently, very few have the ability to see that artificially low interest rates and fiat money cause economic catastrophes.
Well as the...
•Why Not Take Heart in a New Day? The Hopes and Dreams
How many people awaken in the morning hoping to be renewed—only to unhappily discover that instead—it is their suffering and despair that has been renewed? They think “My God—another day without hope—a day of drudgery—a day without any pleasure or satisfaction.” Will anything ever make a positive difference in my life?
If you are one of those unfortunate souls my heart goes out to you. However, did you know it doesn’t have to be that way? It is possible for you to create a world—a world that...
•The Cycles of Life – We Go Round and Round in the Circle Game
In one of the great songs about the cycles of life—a song that captures the feelings of the moment—Joni Mitchell wrote and sang:
“And the seasons they go round and round
And the painted ponies go up and down
We're captive on the carousel of time
We can’t return we can only look behind
From where we came
And go round and round and round
In the circle game”
Are we captured on the carousel of time—experiencing fleeting moments of joy, suffering and some pain along the way—thrilling to victory...
•The Plight of the Enlightened and the Unenlightened – Resistance, Opposition and Higher Awareness
How difficult the search for truth and enlightenment can be. In fact the path can seem so impassable that many give up without further effort. An enlightened teacher may have hundreds or even thousands of students—but only a small percentage obtains a glimpse of all the possibilities that could unfold before them.
The physical world of everyday reality presents many challenges to all who reside on our planet. Unfortunately, some are so unaware of what may exist beyond their immediate awareness...
•Ordinary and Non-Ordinary Reality – Higher Awareness
In Carlos Castaneda’s book “The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge” and his subsequent works he imparts much knowledge about the states of Ordinary and Non-Ordinary Reality. In the following I am supplying my interpretation of these states of knowing.
Ordinary Reality
Some people claim that Ordinary Reality is a low level of existence. I don’t necessarily agree with that assessment, although it is a much lower level than Non-Ordinary Reality. After all this level of existence is...
•The Unhappy Discovery Of Lower Awareness – The Descension To Earth Of The Enlightened – And The Subsequent Ascension To Higher Awareness
Legend
Eons ago some wandering souls discovered the planet Earth. These beings were advanced and highly enlightened. The main purpose of their journeys was to find new playgrounds and to experience higher awareness. Much to their delight they possessed a knowing—that pleasurable activities were the key to their growth and evolvement. They existed to ascend to the highest states of ecstasy.
Although they were beings that experienced the highest stages of development—they weren’t perfect. As...
•Eliminating Stress And Negativity By Enjoying The Simple Pleasures Of Life
Although squarely facing the facts of reality is necessary—it is easy to suffer overwhelm by the ignorance and negativity surrounding you. Life has its everyday challenges. In addition, each day you’re assaulted by events created by disastrous government policies. And much to your consternation, most of the other people you associate with seem to be oblivious to the cause of these problems. What is an intelligent person to do?
Walking around angry about the unfortunate happenings of everyday...
•Taking Control - Freedom From Tyranny
We live in a society where many courses of action are open to the individual—despite the laws and regulations passed by would-be dictators and absolute moralists. You, as an individual, can control your life and the direction you desire it to go.
Unfortunately out of fear and insecurity many allow others to influence their thinking and actions. There are individuals in relationships where a tyrannical partner constantly abuses them. Imagine someone having a hold on you. It could be your...
•Time And The Acceleration Principle - Capturing Those Happy Moments
The acceleration principle
If time is exact, why does it sometimes seem to fly and at other times to slow to a crawl? The answer to this is obvious. Pleasurable activities whiz on by while the mundane drags.
Have you noticed that when you were a child time seemed to move at a slower pace? The summer days were endless. The evenings when you played, maybe even caught a firefly, were timeless.
At a certain age, probably around 40 you started to wonder where it all went. Where oh where have all...
•Pain, Suffering And Hope - The Lone Individual's Dark Night Of The Soul
Can a new beginning come from the ashes of despair? Or does despair result in total defeat? Here is one individual's tale of "the dark night of the soul" and the morning after.
The Dark Night of the Soul
Oh God why must I suffer? I can't sleep because my mind repeats the same painful thoughts second after second, minute after minute. I feel like I'm a broken person—and I am afraid I'm unfixable.
No amount of alcohol consumed can drown my pain and sorrow. Not all the erasers in the world can...
•Reminiscences Of A Day In A Life - The Libertarian Way Of Life
A woman has discovered that everyday can be one of joy and pleasure. Following is her story of another wonderful day in her life—a life of continuous fulfillment and achievement.
Morning
As soon as I awoke I knew it was going to be a great day. It seems that this is a common occurrence since I discovered the secrets of a joyous life. Now after experiencing this wonderful day I embrace my pillow for a night of sweet dreams—reminiscing about all of my experiences.
During my meditation this...
•Existence, Society And You - Discovering Pleasure, Ecstasy And Value For Value Relationships
Demolishing the myths of existence
There are basically two ways of looking at your existence. One is from the point of view of you as an individual. The other is from the belief that you are a part of a whole or what is called the collective.
Unfortunately there has been a sharp dividing line drawn between the two. First you have the stereotype of the rugged individualist who stops at nothing to rise to the top--stepping on anyone or anything that gets in his way. This is largely a myth....
