Johnson Mon, 25 Apr 2011 20:05:42 +0000 http://alanfurth.com/?p=840#comment-14684 Just wanted to thank you for your blog post and leave a note on how I found it. I have taught psychology for 30 years and used to use Dyer's Erroneous Zones in my course. I still quote a few passages from it. But lately I've become interested in his more recent material, after resisting it for years. Too airy fairy for my skeptical side. I have kind of a dual personality, in which my skeptical self argues constantly with my more mystical self. My Skeptic founded a discussion group in LiveJournal called Transcendentally Tempted Anonymous as a recovery group for those drawn to transcendental stuff. Like synchronicity. I had some major synchronistic experiences in my teens, which included discovering the Tao Te Ching (which I continue to read to this day). Anyhow, after watching The Shift and reading The Power of Intention, I had an urge to show the video to my Positive Psychology class this week instead of two of the classes I usually devote to meaning in life. Scanning the Web for resources, I found your page. So, again, thanks. Just wanted to thank you for your blog post and leave a note on how I found it.

It is not a coincidence that the word "incorporate" is used when forming governmental bodies. Corporations are essentially little states. In this way the federal government acts as feudal lord over the vassal-state corporations. Nice work. It is not a coincidence that the word “incorporate” is used when forming governmental bodies.

During the early stages of the process, the more I practiced Nei Kung, the more I felt that splinter in my mind: A growing dissatisfaction with the city I was living in and the work I was doing. A feeling that both represented, somehow, something that was deeply wrong with the world. It was that sense of deep dissatisfaction that convinced me that I needed to move on.
