AN INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS EXCHANGE

Dear Friends:

Following is an exchange of emails, between Michelle and myself. Please read this post from the bottom up. Look for all of the indications of 1) the INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS experience, and 2) Modalities actually being used within the dialogue. Apologies for the lengthy post, but every word, every nuance, has secrets and insights to yield -- if you are truly paying attention.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Michelle:

Again, thank you for your kindness in writing. Correspondence via email is certainly adequate given the circumstances. I am busy, as are you, but my time here is not expended - it is invested.

I appreciate your accolades, and empathize with your rapidly-erupting quest for crucial knowledge. You are, quite apparently, on the verge of solidifying an understanding of something that very few people will ever live quite long enough to understand. My compliments to you!

The mind is the machine that drives the universe -- it is our individual center of perspective and of all of life's experiences; it is the processing/ interpreting factory for all of the acknowledged and unacknowledged sensorial imput; it is a crystal recorder; it is a transceiver; it is a genesis chamber; it is a muscle that grows in strength and scope with each new event; it is a network of interlinking and interwoven thoughts in an ever-expanding quilt (but n-dimensionally); it is the spark that links us to all of history, all of the world/s unseen and all of the prospects for the future. It is intuitive, instinctual, predictive, but catalytic -- it not only analyzes and synthesizes, but it reconstructs and replicates itself in multitudinous ways. Your mind makes your future. And, in due accord with Complexity Theory, your mind affects the future of everyone in the world.

It might be the ignition switch that initiates a social or technological change felt throughout the world, with implications and effects that will impact Human existance for thousands of years. And your mind is your greatest treasure. It contains all of your secrets, your hopes, your dreams, your fears...you are obligated to yourself, and perhaps to a universe of sould with whom you've yet to become acquainted, to evolve.

Exploring the workings of your own mind, and pressing it to expand its fictional bounds into the realm of unlimited potentialities and possibilities -- that is the Master Game. The most worthwhile pursuit of any.

You've decided to "pick my brain" (I am laughing). And you then tell me that your "time is money."

It seems that aside from NLP, RET, hypnosis, subliminal suggestion, Scripting, entrainment and all of these other Modalities which are of manifest interest to you, you might wish to take a look first into the social sciences of diplomacy and negotiation. Your one-sided proposition to me is actually belittling (although I believe it was unintended on your part), as well as lacking in any visible benefit for me. This has its roots in behavioral psychology -- one of your passions.

Please visit the following places, and then visit with me by email again at your convenience.

p.s. I wouldn't want you to "write about writing" literally -- I had envisioned your writing for The National Networker (which is actually a service provider as well as a publishing platform) on the subject of the importance and significance of the written word. If you want to visit with me, perhaps you will give greater thought to what you might wish to contribute in exchange for what you would like of me.

p.p.s. Your website is coming along beautifully, both esthetically and pragmatically. Being a writer for hire is a difficult career. And, truly, your time is valuable. I suppose that I am asking you to use your powerful and rapidly-emerging imagination to see how writing, and revealing a little bit of how important you might be as an asset to others, might be monetizable (I invent words). Given that you want to write, how can you convince a businessperson, and a mere writing hobbyist (as I am) that they need you?

p.p.p.s. I used to write a blog on Thorium Energy, myself. It might still be alive at http://thoriumenergyinc.blogspot.com/. There is a tremendous demand for good writers about energy-related topics. Your newsletter could be launched off of The National Networker -- it is good to start with a derivative readership of more than 50,000. But you would have to choose an aspect of energy that was not purely scientific -- you would have to find an aspect of advocating it, or promoting it, or getting the population to implement it...maybe you won't be burdened with writing about writing after all.

Faithfully,

Douglas

Douglas,

Thank you for your response, and for your words of encouragement. I was hoping we could correspond via email rather than phone, at least in the beginning. I didn't contact you to ask for help on developing my practice (although I appreciate the offer) - rather, I wanted to compliment you on your very intelligent words, and to learn more about how you help others...if that's something you're interested in sharing.

I read a lot of self-help and spiritual books (Osho, Krishnamurti, Lao Tzu are a few recent authors I've enjoyed), and your words struck me as up there with the greats.

I've been interested in NLP, hypnosis, and similar subjects for awhile but haven't really gotten down to the nitty gritty of studying how they work. I'm all about the "big picture" - I understand the general concept, but haven't yet taken my learning of the details seriously...or rather, I've only scratched the surface. I'm now realizing that having a command of these skills (hypnotic speaking, hypnotic writing, etc.) is the key to truly succeeding in life. So don't mind me, while I pick your brain on what you know.

Tell me more about the National Networker. I skimmed the site, and read the emails you sent, but there was so much material I got a little lost. It appears to be a collection of articles by different authors on various topics related to networking and branding? How would you say it's different from the usual "content farms" we see out there on the Web? How do you compensate your writers? Do you have a place for energy-related writing (i.e., electricity, oil, that sort of energy)? I've thought about starting an energy newsletter, but have been pressed for time (I work full-time as an energy writer, part time as a corporate/technical freelance writer, and in between have been trying to finish the real love of my life, my novel...).

What would you recommend to someone who would like to participate, but for whom time is money?As for "writing about writing," that's a topic I'm all too familiar with, and there are literally thousands of books and articles already written on the subject. I'm hesitant to add more to the mess.

If I could somehow tie it to energy or psychology...maybe I could be convinced. I would love to write the words to propel the entire world to change for the better, but I'm not sure if "writing" is the best topic to write about, to achieve that goal. I'll do some brainstorming.Thank you again for your response, and for your generosity.

Michelle

Dear Michelle:

I am deeply moved by your kindness, as I am inspired by your unbridled contact initiative.
There is undoubtedly some element of Jungian Synchronicity (which sounds much more mature than "Karma" or "Destiny") at work here.

We have much to discuss. Please be kind enough, when you have a free moment, to ring me at your earliest possible convenience at 310.555.6512 (a Beverly Hills area code, but I am located right here, in scenic New York, and I religiously observe Eastern Time).

I would like to assist you in building your practice and branding. I am delighted to be in touch with such a gifted and industrious young woman.

I look forward to finding and exploring the area of intersection that unites us!

Faithfully,

Douglas

p.s. I will seduce (or cajole) you into writing about writing for THE NATIONAL NETWORKER, and to create a weblink affiliate program to direct pre-qualified clients to your site, which is coming along nicely. You are, Michelle, a sentinel of a dying art. Your work is more important than you know.

Faithfully,

Douglas

Hello Douglas,

Your "Unconventional Wisdom" posted a few days ago enticed me to send you an email on how I appreciate the very intriguing, thought-provoking words you publish on your blog. "Always invest time in talking to strangers. Always reach out into the darkness. Always take a second look at things that seem irrelevent or self-serving." As of yet, you and I are strangers, but even before I had read your unconventional wisdom, I suspected it would be a good idea to contact you, based on the impressive work you've done on your blogs, and the positive philosophies you appear to embrace. Lo and behold, your own words confirmed the potential rewards in "investing" in strangers. How synchronous.

I found your site while browsing the web for energy writers (I write for the energy industry and do some freelancing). I like your concept of internal energy and am curious at how successful you've been at helping people harness theirs. As of late, I've been on a mission to network with people who have achieved or are pursuing higher consciousness...it's obvious to me you're interested in expanding your mind and opening new doors. I would love to learn more about your endeavors.

You are undoubtedly a busy man, so don't feel obligated to respond. If you are curious to know more about me, reply to this email and say hello to a stranger, or visit my website at http://www.omittedforthesakeofprivacy.com/ (although it is nowhere near as developed as yours).

Either way, thank you for the gift of your lucid words, and please continue writing.

Michelle

THE IDEOMOTOR EFFECT

Dear Friends:

Some preliminary information follows about the IDEOMOTOR EFFECT, which, in the simplest terms means that our desires and wishes are expressed by small "telling" muscular and bodily movements that we have limited control over. It relates well to the notion of body language, and out ability to understand and interpret it. The INTERNAL PLUS KEY in this particular case is to be able to a) control it in yourself, and b) interpret and use it to your advantage in persuading others in negotiations or presentations. These "secret signals" help us gather subtle but valuable information about our friends, clients and adversaries. As the weeks go on, we will revisit this topic from time to time. Keep visiting the INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS website at http://www.internalenergyplus.com/ to find products which can assist you in mastery of this important knowledge and operating skill. It is ultimately part of the power that will enable you to achieve success through obtaining cooperation from Members of yout Teams, and your would-be competitors. You may also wish to review TAKING COMAND! at http://takingcommand.blogspot.com/ to see some of how this can be put into beneficial practice.

____________________________________________________________________

William B. Carpenter first proposed the ideomotor effect or automatism in 1852. Essentially it says that the human body produces tiny, involuntary muscular movements in response to subconscious desires. Thomas Laycock (1812-1876) was the first person to apply reflex action to the brain. These foundational concepts paved the way for a deeper understanding of how we can both receive information from the collective and have it transmitted through our body as well as being able to send information from the physical into the mental construct or matrix. Here are a few realizations that are needed to piece together a simple model that demonstrates this concept:

• The subconscious mind has full access to the information in the collective memory database.


• The information can be retrieved by the subconscious mind.


• The subconscious mind can translate this information into a physical reflex action.


• These reflex actions can be natural or they can be specifically and purposefully trained.


• Intentionally trained reflexes will have pre-determined values assigned to each movement.


• The natural reflexes may or may not be apparently decodable.


• Any physical action can also be translated through the nervous system to the subconscious mind and into the collective.

With the above concepts in mind, lets look at an example that is in alignment with certain obvious parameters. This illustrates a simple working model of the ideomotor effect. Muscle Testing - A practitioner and a client are working together. The practitioner in this example is using muscle testing in order to get the answer to a yes or no question. Every question and every question's answer are already perfectly known values in the collective unconscious.

The practitioner may use a finger lock technique with double interlocking rings. The question is asked and the practitioner pulls on the weak point of the finger lock. It is already intended that if the answer is a yes the fingers stay strongly locked. It is also already intended that if the answer is no, the finger lock will break or weaken. Basically, the key to decoding the muscle response is already pre-programmed. Yes is assigned to a strong lock and no is assigned to a weak lock.

Let's say the practitioner is adept at allowing unfiltered answers from the collective to manifest. The practitioner asks, "Does John smoke cigarettes?" The practitioner pulls on the finger lock and the finger lock stays strong. In this example, this tells the practitioner that John does indeed smoke cigarettes. The answer was a known variable in the collective. The practitioner asks the question, the subconscious mind locks on to the answer in the collective and transmits to the muscles high potential that gives a strong lock.

If you would like to engage in practicing and honing your ability to benefit from the ideomotor effect, I would highly encourage you to study more about the Human kinesthetic sense (see archives). Your kinesthetic sense is basically your feeling apparatus. It can be through the feeling of a pen on a piece of paper! In applying the Ideomotor Effect please note that the clearer the person is of their own efforts and tensions in their own mind and body, the more clear the answer from the Ideomotor Effect can be revealed free of interference by the reasoning or imagining mind.

The first lesson in the Lessons in Advanced Perception by Harold S. Schroeppel is an exercise in releasing subconscious efforts and tensions that are locking unconscious mental noise into the body's musculature."If you have no thought, emotion, effort, pain or confusion stored in your own body, then any thought, emotion, effort, pain, or confusion of which you are aware is someone else's."- Harold S. Schroeppel

___________________________________________________________________

The wonderful upshot of this effect is that it reaffirms our INTERRNAL ENERGY PLUS belief that the actions of the body can change the mind, just as the thinkings of the mind can influence the actions of the body.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle

THE BREATH OF LIFE

Dear Friends:

Breathing is absolutely necessary in order to sustain life.

While breathing is considered to be an involuntary reflex (which is extraordinarily handy for the purposes of our survival -- it would be difficult to sleep if this were not so), it is also subject to a wide range of voluntary control. You can choose to hold your breath, breathe more rapidly, or breathe more deeply, as your conscious mind wills it.

Breathing serves a multitude of purposes, and it is helpful in your pursuit of self-mastery through INTERNAL ENERGY PLUS to know and contemplate each of these. This knowledge, combined with conscious effort, will improve the quality of your life's experience:

1. Breathing fuels the body with oxygen, allowing all of the organs to function. Without adequate oxygenation, the body becomes weaker and eventually dies. Without adequate oxygenation, the brain's functioning (including cognitive and emotional processes) decreases, and eventually ceases altogether. Poor breathing contributes to the aging process, as well as to a host of other maladies, including depression, anxiety, overeating, susceptibility to illness...and the list continues.

2. Breathing permits the body to excrete accumulated toxic wastes, spent resources and negative energy.

3. Breathing deeply and deliberately affords stress-reduction, relaxation, clearer focus and enhanced meditative and other mental/ spiritual capabilities.

4. Breathing at appropriate intervals gives us a chance to think before speaking, and to plan before reacting. This pause is crucial in many of life's situations.

5. Breathing deliberately opens up the various chakras, meridians and subtle vibrational, electromagnetic and spiritual pathways. Prana, as the yogis call it, is the cleansing breath of life. In the martial arts, breathing mobilizes the Ki (Chi or Qi), or life force energy. With "educated" breathing, great feats of strength, endurance and concentration become possible.

Think about breathing. Be conscious of your breathing. Breathe deeply, slowly and deliberately, with your torso erect (when seated), and with your body fully extended (when standing freely) at every opportunity. Visualize the toxins and negativity leaving your system as you exhale, and visualize golden light and positive, powerful energy entering and flowing through your entire body, to every extremity, while inhaling.

Think about your breathing. Check your breathing at intervals throughout the day.

Faithfully,

Douglas Castle
