Barry snorted slightly and rolled his eyes upwards. “Wait, let me guess,” he said, grinning like a mischievous schoolboy. “Think Yourself Thin?”

Barry and I have both known Dr. Anthony for years, and we respect him and his work. He was one of the first people to give Barry a testimonial when he first launched the now intentionally-dormant  Manifest Life, and he was almost a guest on my now intentionally-dormant Success Unwrapped radio show.

We love the fact that he taught thousands of people how to pull the emphasis away from shallow optimism with his book, “Beyond Positive Thinking.”

And he’s a well-revered and world-renowned hypnotherapist.

But from my description, Barry had assumed — and understandably so — that “effortless” meant losing weight without doing anything, just like so many LOA addicts feel they can simply meditate their way to fame and fortune.

On the contrary, Dr. Anthony’s revolutionary program is not about not doing… it’s about doing things, but effortlessly!

Huh?

Let me explain…

— Cont’d —

When Dr. Anthony’s associate, Kristen, contacted us about his Zero Resistance Weight Release Solution, I have to admit that I started off a little skeptical too… but also intrigued.

On the one hand, it was obviously some kind of hypnosis program; but there are thousands of weight-loss hypnosis audios already out there. If they really worked, then wouldn’t I have heard rave reviews about them? And wouldn’t everyone already be thin, instead of more and more people becoming overweight, and even clinically obese?

On the other hand, Dr. Anthony was claiming that this program was unlike all those others. That there was a key reason the mass-market weight loss hypnosis audios don’t work, while his program does.

And that made me have to learn more.

Not to mention that I’ve been trying to lose — no, make that release — the last stubborn 10 pounds I gained while pregnant, just over a year ago. So that would make me the perfect human guinea pig!

First off, let’s get straight why this program is different.

It turns out that most weight loss hypnosis programs are using the same ol’ methods that they used in 1929.

Tried and true? Nope, hopelessly outdated!

They use suggestions, like “you’re going to eat less,” or “you’re going to exercise more.”

Sounds reasonable, right?

But that type of approach is like treating the symptoms instead of the cause of a disease.

The REAL core problem is your Subconscious Emotional Resistance Factor.

In other words, your conscious desire to lose weight is in conflict with your subconscious desire to keep it.

You’ve also got an internal gatekeeper that wants to keep things that way, and it rejects any strong-arming you might do to change it.

Until you get your subconscious on board, all the hypnotic suggestions in the world aren’t going to work any better than sheer willpower — another losing battle in the weight loss war.

Sometimes when you eat (or overeat), it’s for emotional reasons rather than physical reasons.

And when you keep weight on despite doing everything “right”, it’s being kept there for emotional reasons, too.

Your mind is in resistance to letting the weight go, so none of the diets, pills, shakes, books or gimmicks are likely to work… at least, not long-term.

And that brings us to why Dr. Anthony says you’ll “release” instead of “lose” weight: because when you “lose” something, your subconscious mind wants to get it back. Hello, yo-yo dieting!

He’s talking from experience, too… he put on over 45 pounds in the past few years, and was able to release all of it using this same program.

Did you know that the common belief that it’s normal to gain weight as we get older is false? Your true ideal weight today — no matter how old you are — is the same ideal weight you had at 25 years old.

You don’t have to know what that number is, because your subconscious knows… you just need to convince it that it’s okay, and in fact desirable, to get back to that.

Yeah, that’s right… you and I both might release more weight than we anticipated!

And Zero Resistance Weight Release is the solution that can help you do that.

It bypasses all those other games we just talked about, opens your subconscious mind wide, gets it in alignment with your desires, and turns off your “fat switch”.

The program has several instructional audios and PDFs that you listen to first, to help you understand how it all works. Then there’s one main hypnosis that you listen to once, ever… the same session Dr. Anthony uses with his clients live.

But in addition, you get two hypnosis audios that you do daily: seven minutes in the morning, and three minutes at night. Keep doing them as long as you want, until the weight’s gone.

The reason it’s “effortless” is because you’ll no longer want to eat the wrong foods, or too much food, but you will want to have fun by being active. You’ll do exactly what’s required to get to your ideal weight.

I’ve only been doing the program for a few days, but I already feel a big difference mentally. And physically, well… even though you can’t expect everything to happen overnight, I’ve already dropped a few pounds.

So here’s the deal: Dr. Anthony is looking for 500 people to beta-test this program, at his expense. That means that right now, to celebrate the new year and help people actually achieve their resolutions this time around, you can get it for a ridiculously low price.

It’s not just marketing hype… the price WILL go up substantially. And to solve your weight issues permanently, it will be worth it.

For now, though, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

Your Partner in the Quest For
Living a Life Without Limits,

Finally the little guy gets the last laugh.

Yeah, as he prepares for his final onslaught of the human race in his super secret underground cave, we can just hear the rambunctious runt talking to himself:

“Mwooooo haaaa haaaaa…. what brilliance, what brilliance, I say. Everybody, all my life, has underestimated me. The drug giant who picked me to ‘seed’ the deadly, gonna-rip-your-head-off Swine Virus was just pure genius. Ahhhh, this is gonna be fun. I knew my day would come.”

And, truly, Fellow Explorers, that’s about the level of attention span (very short) and sincerity (not much) that we here at LWL have been giving this crazy media-distorted Swine Flu (H1N1) situation.

Yet, since school is back in session and winter is approaching, this thing is making some major headlines again.

So, in our typical common-sense, let’s-just-get-@#$%^&!-real-already fashion, we’re gonna do our part to help out with the BIG PICTURE and some “alternative” research.

So, look, we see and hear the fear-mongering as much as you do.

Let’s see… we’ve got the questionable World Health Organization (WHO) calling it a Level 6 “pandemic” and the Obama administration making its own over-the-top dire predictions.

They said half of all Americans could eventually become infected with the virus.  Some 1.8 million could need hospitalization.  And, deaths from H1N1 could number 30,000 to 90,000 people (about double the number of deaths from seasonal flu).

Okay, so what gives?…

– Cont’d –

> Is this the same scare-them-shitless campaign that aired in 1976, just dressed differently?

> Was the “infected pigs” story, in April ’09, just a ruse? And, one not well thought out at that, since it’s now called H1NI (maybe them thar farmers pitched a big enough fit ’cause no one was buying pork)?

> Is swine flu is just a new subtype (H1N1) of the common flu virus called Influenza A, which is the standard — and ever-changing — flu bug that gets spread around every winter and fall? Is it widespread now because people have no immunity to it?

> Do you basically either get it, and acquire immunity, or get a vaccine to get immunity?

Ah, the questions…  the nitty-gritty details — details, schmee-tails.  Yup, the news about this imposing and looming mad-piggy pandemic is unsettling, isn’t it?

So, instead of us “digging deep” for answers about this topic (after all, it’s not something we’re personally fascinated  with… one of our prime criteria for writing about, endorsing and creating things around here),  allow us to just say this:

Give the mainstream news hype and sensationalist reporting around the Swine Flu about as much respect as you would a family member who continually tried shoving “Jesus propaganda” down your throat (even after telling her/him “No, thanks!”)

In other words, we’re not going to give you our typical convictatory opinion about  the WHY and WHAT of this potential health-scare. After all, we’re not licensed health practitioners, nor do we claim to have an inside-track to Wilbur and his lab.

But, what we can tell you is that we tend to lean towards being a very holisitic, free-thinking, contrarian (let’s-roll-over-this-old-rug-and-inspect-the-other-side), self-reliant family.

We would advise you as well to not take something at face value, just because it’s reported on a new medium that’s been around awhile.  And, remember,  “authority” figures, especially those that act as the face of governmental policies, can often be more misinformed that the average Joe or Jane who just has an intense curiosity for finding the “truth”.

And the truth lies just under the surface of hype, rhetoric and propaganda.

We can tell you that one such “truth” is that this vaccine is linked to a fatal nerve disease. Plus, the last time people were vaccinated for swine flu, the vaccine killed more people than the flu did.

So, for some more “alternative” information about your health, vaccines, and this hybrid sorta flu virus, we leave you today with these links:

How To Turn $60 Into $65,000  Using Interviews

( Above link tells the fascinating real-life story )

The Ghost of Self-Denial and Delusion — past, present, and future — visited us at midnight, just as we finished our last swig of Svedka — one of Heather’s go-to celebratory Vodka brands (yup, we had an occasion to down a shot, each, as Konan completed his first back roll in swim class).

So, right as we’re heading down the hallway to lock down some zzzzzz’s for the night, this spirited, lively apparition thingy, like Jeannie the ’60s genie, popped out right in front of us.

We’ll be writing more about his gnarly visit — and his very mean-spirited guidance — hopefully by Sunday.

Stay tuned… According to him, if we remove any ounce of wussiness from our DNA and man (er, and woman) up, it could be considered the greatest post we’ve ever written.

Oh, Dear Ghost, you just didn’t have any idea who you were challenging, did you?

Little does he know (we didn’t tell him) that we’re all about lashing out against status quo thinking, tossing around critical examination of spooky human behavior that goes bump in the night… and… well, just plain, heck, ya know, being different when it comes to confronting stupidity and nonsense (something, we argue, the masses let merrily march on like ants flanking their mother-in-law’s prized cake at the bake-off of the year. Hell, now who wants to put a stop to that?)

Ya know, our blog is ALREADY jam-packed full of deep, energetic, unique, admittedly sometimes “mind heavy” posts that are written to expand your perceptions, question your reality, ignite your spirit, and hold you (and us) accountable for your (our) experiences in life.

Damn, Mr. Ghost… don’t you know there’s a method behind the madness? (you obviously don’t read, do you?)

So, don’t hold your breath. We’ll take your challenge and, hopefully with passion, pleasure and purpose on our side, we’ll write a post that’ll demand more from our readers than any that have been posted before.

Maybe, if we’re on our game, it’ll pit brother against brother, father against daughter, man against himself… and sure, nature too!

Maybe… yeah, just maybe, if we give it our all, it’ll be the post that shall bring war to Fooldom, certainly — but it shall also bring justice and  truth.

Stay tuned (hopefully by Sunday) for our upcoming post titled:

“How To Quit Fooling Yourself and Your Ghost”

In the meantime, we want to get a tad more serious and point you in a direction that relates to your health AND sovereignty.

Governmental intrusions of privacy, totalitarian mindsets at the highest of levels, and blatant abuses of the U.S. Constitution aren’t normally topics that we DIVE DEEPLY into. Granted, we ARE aware these insidious things are happening — and happening at an alarming rate — yet, there are only so many head-shaking things we can tackle while still doing it with focused-thought and flair.

So, we’ll stick with investigating and pin-pointing the other side of the story as it relates to personal growth, finances, economics, and business productivity.

And, we’ll let some of our friends and colleagues handle areas that are more in tune with their own focused fascination.

As it relates to issues of health, especially about things that CAN keep you from living in an unrestricted, self-reliant way, we often lean on Roger Haeske.

Roger, last week, asked his readers a question. One that certainly made a lot of them pay attention.

It was:  Which Vaccine Killed 20 Million People?

For the answer, click the “continue reading” link below.

DISCLOSURE from Barry and Heather: While we have NOT validated Roger’s research below or conducted our own research that may or may not refute what he’s found, we’re still passing this on for two main reasons:

#1): We, unfortunately, have had direct experience with socialistic, we-always-know-what’s-better-for-your-health-than-you-do governmental gestapo tactics. Not only, when we first started bringing Konan in to see his Pediatrician, did we have to listen to the SPEECH (i.e., about how dangerous it is for us not to keep him vaccinated), but even AFTER asking our Pediatrician to include this FORMAL STATEMENT in our file, he’s still REQUIRED to throw out “you’re doing the wrong thing” non-sense, in an attempt to nudge us to be pro-vaccination (he said, “I’ll lose my job, if I don’t”).

If you’re a new parent, or soon will be, or have small children, use this PDF for information about children’s Health and Vaccinations that we DID put some solid research into.

By the way, if your Doctor just gets too annoying (won’t let up in his/her quest to vaccinate your child), ask him/her to sign this form: http://www.lwlworldwide.com/wvs.pdf

#2): We trust Roger. He’s not only a passionate, dedicated holistic health researcher, he LIVES what he researches. He’s vibrant, has the energy of a 14-year-old, is a raw foods expert and, most importantly, he’s authentic, and has the best intentions for bringing forth information and resources that truly empowers the reader.

Barry has known Roger for years, talks to him often, and can vouch for him being a living example of a true patriot. Regardless of how “icky” (as one love ‘n lighter we know describes anything that doesn’t feel good or makes him see negativity)  it may be, Roger is somebody who doesn’t stand by idly, accepting and adoring everything the government says and does… somebody who has the boldness to lash out at passed-down, questionable ideals, and somebody who understands why “critical thinking,” inner-world awareness, and self-derived historical research are keys for bringing forth a no-limit, unbridled, prosperous future for ourselves and our families.

By Roger Haeske:

How many of your friends and relatives will die unexpectedly or get  severely ill this year due to being forcibly given poison?

Yes — Wake Up and Pay Attention — This is IMPORTANT

The article I’ve included below is a prelude to another article, which  deals  with  the  severe health dangers we are faced with here in the USA and many other countries around the  world.  So please read this first article and then read the second.

If you’ve not been exposed to this kind of information before this could be shocking and  maybe you will disbelieve it. But remember this. Whenever you’re given information by  the  media  and the drug companies… just remember to follow the money.

Or more aptly to try and understand their motives. If you can pierce through the veil and get at the facts you’ll realize that truth is stranger than fiction.

Once you read the first article, you’ll realize that what is being written in the second article could be true because it already happened once in history.

If you don’t understand the information below and take appropriate  measures  it’s  very  likely that you too could be one of the people who die or have severe and lifelong health problems as a result.

I’m not talking about cooked food here. Something much worse and  something  which  could  kill, maim and injure you and your loved ones in a short time.

And if the governments of the world have their way, they’ll be the  ones  poisoning  us  and  we won’t be able to do anything about it. This will be done under the guise of protecting us.

But nothing could be further from the truth. And they won’t give us a choice.

This all pertains to the current Swine Flu scare and the planned mandatory vaccinations with the Swine Flu vaccine.

====================

1. “The 1918 Influenza Epidemic Was a Vaccine – Caused Disease”

Very few people realize that the worst epidemic ever to hit America, the  Spanish  Influenza  of 1918 was the after effect of the massive nation-wide vaccine  campaign.  The  doctors  told  the people that the disease was caused by germs. Viruses were not known at that time or  they  would have been blamed. Germs. bacteria and viruses, along with bacilli  and  a  few  other  invisible organisms are the scapegoats which the doctors  like  to  blame  for  the  things  they  do  not understand. If the doctor makes a wrong diagnosis and treatment, and kills the patient,  he  can always blame it on the germs, and say the patient didn’t get an early diagnosis and come  to  him in time.

If we check back in history to that 1918 flu period, we will see that it  suddenly  struck  just after the end of World War I when our soldiers were returning home from overseas. That  was  the first war in hich all the known vaccines were forced on all the servicemen.  This  mish-mash  of poison drugs and putrid protein of which the vaccines  were  composed,  caused  such  widespread disease and death among the soldiers that it was the common talk of the day, that  more  of  our men were being killed by medical shots than by enemy shots from guns. Thousands  were  invalided home or to military hospitals, as hopeless wrecks, before they ever saw a  day  of  battle.  The death and disease rate among the vaccinated soldiers  was  four  times  higher  than  among  the unvaccinated civilians. But this did not stop the vaccine promoters. Vaccine has always been big business, and so it was continued doggedly.

It was a shorter war than the vaccine-makers had planned on, only about a year for  us,  so  the vaccine promoters had a lot of unused, spoiling vaccines left over which they wanted to sell  at a good profit. So they did what they usually do, they called a meeting behind closed doors,  and plotted the whole sordid program, a nationwide (worldwide) vaccination  drive  using  all  their vaccines, and telling the people that the soldiers were coming home  with  many  dread  diseases contracted in foreign countries and that it was the patriotic duty of every man, woman and child to get “protected” by rushing down to the vaccination centers and having all the shots.

Most people believe their doctors and government officials, and do what  they  say.  The  result was, that almost the entire population submitted to the shots without question, and it was  only a matter of hours until people began dropping dead in agony, while many others collapsed with  a disease of such virulence that no one had ever seen anything like it before. They  had  all  the characteristics of the diseases they had been vaccinated against, the high fever, chills,  pain, cramps, diarrhea, etc. of typhoid,  and  the  pneumonia  like  lung  and  throat  congestion  of
diphtheria and the vomiting, headache, weakness and misery of hepatitis from  the  jungle  fever shots, and the outbreak of sores on the skin from the smallpox shots, along with paralysis  from all the shots, etc.

The doctors were baffled, and claimed they  didnt  know  what  caused  the  strange  and  deadly disease, and they certainly had no cure. They should have known the  underlying  cause  was  the vaccinations, because the same thing happened to the soldiers after  they  had  their  shots  at camp. The typhoid fever shots caused a worse form of the disease which they called para-typhoid. Then they tried to suppress the symptoms of that one with a  stronger  vaccine  which  caused  a still more serious disease which killed and disabled a great many men. The  combination  of  all the poison vaccines fermenting together in the body, caused such  violent  reactions  that  they could not cope with the situation. Disaster ran rampant in  the  camps.  Some  of  the  military hospitals were filled with nothing but paralyzed soldiers, and they were called war  casualties, even before they left American soil. I talked to some of the survivors of that vaccine onslaught when they returned home after the war, and they told of the horrors, not of the war itself,  and battles, but of the sickness at camp.

The doctors didn’t want this massive vaccine disease to reflect on them, so they,  agreed  among themselves to call it Spanish Influenza. Spain was a far away place and some of the soldiers had been there, so the idea of calling it Spanish Influenza seemed to be a good way to lay the blame on someone else. The Spanish resented having us name the world scourge on them.  They  knew  the flu didnt originate in their country.

20,000,000 died of that flu epidemic, worldwide, and it seemed to be almost universal or as  far away as the vaccinations reached. Greece and a few other countries  which  did  not  accept  the vaccines were the only ones which were not hit by the flu. Doesnt that prove something?

At home (in the U.S.) the situation was the same; the only ones who escaped the  influenza  were those who had refused the vaccinations. My family and I were among  the  few  who  persisted  in refusing the high pressure sales propaganda ,and none of us had the flu not even a  sniffle,  in spite of the fact that it was all around us, and in the bitter cold of winter.  Everyone  seemed to have it. The whole town was down sick and  dying.  The  hospitals  were  closed  because  the doctors and nurses were down with the flu. Everything  was  closed,  schools,  businesses,  post

office everything. No one was on the streets. It was like a ghost town. There were no doctors to care for the sick, so my parents went from house to house doing what  they  could  to  help  the stricken in any way they could. They spent all day and part of the night for weeks, in the  sick rooms, and came home only to eat and sleep. If germs or viruses, bacteria, or any  other  little organisms were the cause of that disease, they had  plenty  of  opportunity  to  latch  onto  my parents and “lay them low” with the disease which had prostrated the world. But germs  were  not the cause of that or any other disease, so they didnt “catch” it. I have talked to a  few  other people since that time, who said they escaped the 1918 flu, so I asked if they  had  the  shots, and in every case, they said they had never believed in shots and had never  had  any  of  them.

Common sense tells us that all those toxic vaccines all mixed up together in people,  could  not help but cause extreme body-poisoning and poisoning of some kind or another is usually the cause of disease.

Whenever a person coughs or sneezes, most people cringe,  thinking  that  the  germs  are  being spread around in the au and will attack people. There is no need to fear those germs  any  more, because that is not the way colds are developed. Germs cant live apart from the cells (host) and cant do harm anyway, even if they wanted to. They have  no  teeth  to  bite  anyone,  no  poison pouches like snakes, mosquitoes or bees, and do not multiply, except in  decomposed  substances, so they are helpless to harm. As stated before, their purpose is useful, not destructive.

The 1918 flu was the most devastating disease we ever had, and it brought forth all the  medical bag of tricks to quell it, but those added drugs, all of which are poisons, only intensified the over-poisoned condition of the people, so the treatments actually killed more than the  vaccines did.

Here’s another book from 1977 that you can read online regarding this very topic.  It’s  called,
“Swine Flu Expose”

http://www.whale.to/vaccine/sf.html

Ok then, now you’ve familiarized yourself with this information. Maybe you’re starting to get  a different viewpoint on vaccinations.

I’ve done lots of study on this topic myself and therefore feel that the drug companies and  the USDA etc. do not have our best health interests in mind.

For extensive proof of this with loads of documentation and court cases to back it up, just read the book, “Politics In Healing,” by Daniel Haley.

Then read this article, which deals with our current situation and what is being planned for  us by Big Brother in regards to this nonsense about the Swine Flu.

Squalene: The Swine Flu Vaccine’s Dirty Little Secret Exposed

The Five Best Anti-Viral Products to Beat Influenza, Swine Flu, Bird Flu and SARS

Your Partner in the Quest For
Living a Life Without Limits,

At first I was confused as to why; his explanation was:

“I thought this might be of interest. It came to me in connection with a conference… We are trying to tie the idea of heritage and culture as components in city planning, and in the making of creative communities… However, I thought you would see much more in it, and some of the references are in the spirit of what you and Barry do.”

Hmm… he had my interest and I started reading.

At first, it seemed to be about environmental sustainability.  Certainly a past interest of mine, but not really in the spirit of what Barry and I do.

After all, when we’re talking about the environment from a spiritual stance, we have to ask ourselves one huge paradoxical question…

* * * * *

And that question is:

If we indeed live in an abundant Universe… how can we have a scarcity of natural resources that need to be preserved?

That is a question that has popped into my mind again and again over the past few years.

Because we hear that the rain forests need protecting… and yet, where’s the abundance in that? We hear that animal species are becoming extinct (or at least endangered)… but where’s the abundance in that?

At least when we hear that the polar ice caps are melting, that shows an abundance of water, if nothing else… but we still get told that fresh water supplies are dwindling.

Again, where’s the abundance in that?

Are we just being told that the environment is in trouble, because it keeps people small and in their place — the same reason there’s always some illusive “enemy” overseas that Americans are supposed to be fearful of?

Maybe someday we’ll find an astute mentor to answer these puzzling questions… someone who knows about biology and world politics as much as physics (and metaphysics).  Maybe we even know who that person might be… but we’re not going to tell you yet.

In the meantime, I still like to recycle, and don’t let the rest consume my energy.

Why recycle?

Because from an entrepreneurial stance, it makes sense to help manufacturers fulfill their supply-and-demand chain without having to start from scratch.

And from an environmental stance, I’d rather see land used for better things than piles of garbage.  Not because of scarcity, but because of inspiration.

See, the article my Dad sent me was really about how it’s possible to “plan for happiness” in urban development.

It’s about the ability to create “delightful places” that people are happy to be in.

Hey, the concept of going to a “happy place” is almost cliché in psychology, and even spirituality… but you don’t usually hear about trying to create those happy places for all to enjoy in the real world.

But as one survey responded commented, a real-world special place can have a lasting impact:

“An ability to return to this place in one’s mind and find an inner peace, even when one is many, many miles away.”

Another added that this would be:

“A place that makes you feel energized, calm, in tune with life and people.”

And they weren’t just whistling Dixie.  Apparently scientific studies have been done recently on psychological responses that are the opposite of the “fight or flight” syndrome, where the body produces adrenaline; these opposite responses are when the body produces oxytocin, a hormone that produces harmony.

And what did they find?

“Recent studies indicate that we are biologically wired to experience calm and connection, the body’s natural state for healing.”

Cool!

Oxytocin is released, by the way, when we get a massage, or acupuncture, make love, meditate, exercise, spend time with people we like, or just plain have fun.

So it’s good for you to get out and play, let loose, and do something for yourself.

But of course, life needs to be in balance; we couldn’t operate entirely in that “oxytocin-state” (we’d never get anything done) any more than we could in “adrenaline-state” (we’d be constantly stressed out).

And let’s be clear about something… you can’t really design a place that “makes people happy”, no matter how calm-inducing it might be.

Yes, Barry and I like to travel.  We’re inspired by beautiful scenery, the wonders of nature, different locales and cultures, and the ability to experience life and the world around us.  When Konan the little “Babe-arian” is older, we plan to take him traveling too.

But traveling itself can’t “make” you happy.

People who were quoted in the article are looking for ways to walk and bike more, not just to cut down on fuel consumption — and not just to get healthier — but because they love connecting with nature.

But connecting with nature can’t “make” you happy.

See, happiness comes from within; pleasure is found externally.

So really, we can’t design or find “happy places” in the world, we can only design or find “pleasure places” (or, as the article calls them, “delightful places”).

It’s totally up to us if we choose to be happy as we experience that place.

The distinction between pleasure and happiness was made beautifully by Robin Sharma (#1 international best-selling author of The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari and The Greatness Guide) when I interviewed him awhile back.

Robin is a favorite author of Jon Bon Jovi, Ricky Martin, former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, and other celebrities and public figures, because of his understated realness… and while he claims he’s not a “guru”, he’s definitely someone that a lot of people look to for inspiration, motivation and guidance.

The following clip from that interview also explains some reasons why, as long as we’re here, life is going to be filled with ups and downs (another reason, again, goes back to that very need of everything in life, and the Universe, to be in balance):

Accessing the gifts at Stephanie’s site above is a good place to start.

[ TOOL 2B ] – The ONE-Minute Cure

In early September of this year, we sent out an email practically shouting out the following:

YOUR BODY IS YOUR MOST PRECIOUS POSSESSION!… Without it, nothing else matters — your career, your relationships or your financial condition.

It was prompted by another person in our life being diagnosed with cancer… and even a few we know that are near death’s door (we don’t mind stating that we’re tired of seeing friends, family members and acquaintances arrive for a long stay in the hospital or six feet under way before their time).

Sure, our Harmonic Healing CD is a great easy-to-use tool that spurs on vibrations that bring the energy vibration of your brain back to its natural, harmonious state — so your body can fend off illness and overcome disease – but we’re not claiming it’s a cure-all!

Yet, we recently came across a 5-minute video called The Cancer Cure That Works.

It’s the preview to a book called The One Minute Cure.

This book reveals a one-minute therapy, which *anyone* can easily self-administer at home… a scientifically proven natural therapy that is being deliberately suppressed in the U.S. — while more than 15,000 European doctors have been using it to heal millions of patients.

If you know anyone who’s suffering from cancer, you must watch this 5-minute video titled “The Cancer Cure That Works:  The Video That the Pharmaceutical Industry Doesn’t Want You to Watch.”

When this video was first put online, it circled the globe and was viewed by people in all continents within a matter of 31 minutes.  It has gotten over 116,000 views in the last couple of weeks alone.

Don’t forget to send this blog post to everyone you know who has cancer (even those who are in remission). It’s that important.  You might even end up saving someone’s life.
