Free Will and Universe - where inspiration is born and thrives.

Let's tackle this head on - 

• The Universe contains all knowledge, a repository for all data.
  
• Free Will puts order into that data.
  
• This is where genius and inspiration comes from
  

Genius is native and usual. Stupidity has to be worked at.

There is no teacher and student. In that scenario, the teacher is the stupid one. 

There is only teacher AND student. Both share roles. 

Goes back to the Huna: "There are no limits." We are all interconnected. (Which explains the Golden Rule.)

And the best way to learn (that I've found so far) is 

1. Find the data you need
   
2. Tell someone else about it who wants to get that data
   
3. Write it out as a text or tutorial that someone who has never met you could understand.
   

Of course, you can see in this the old phrase, "Those who can't do, teach. Those who can't teach, write textbooks."  Which is a cutative to the original idea - that you learn best when you pass it forward. 

Again, back to the Golden Rule - that you get as good as you give. So in order to recieve good data, you much be constantly teaching others - or passing good data along.

See, the Universe isn't coherent. It does run in established patterns, but by habit is chaotic. At least by our standards. Our Internet is a way of getting all this massive knowledge into use, making it available. 

I've been working with Internet scammers recently and they really don't know these rules and how they work. 

You see, in this Universe, every single person is an "Emperor has no clothes." 

When a company delivers truly shoddy merchandize, complaint boards will start aggregating data from that community. With the current setup on Google, new data always trumps - at least for awhile - old data. Social media then, is a continual flow and so ebbs and rises as tides. If you use social media to market your goods, then you have to constantly keep at it.

The difference between scammers and decent companies on these complaint boards is that good companies run slightly over 50% favorable on these boards. Scams run about 5% favorable (shills) and 95% unfavorable.

But a company can't really get on these complaint boards and boost their own rankings - simply because the more posts you put on a non-complimentary thread - the more this simply pushes that thread up. 

Any scam's real solution is to reform. Quick. 

But the community of complainers won't go away. Because they are a community of complainers. People will join and leave, yes. But the basic reason they are there is to contribute to the complaining community. 

If you want fewer complaints - give good products on a routine basis. And offer them at a value which is less than what they would be able to get that product for anywhere else. 

But figure that complaints are like the fact that heroes have fleas and no beauty queen is perfect. 

The downfall of a scammer is that they routinely rip people off. And so, as they are connected to everyone else, this then haunts them until they shut down. Doesn't matter what PR they have. 

I was working recently with some aggregators to collect up this data and then republish it on a manual basis through several outlets. Turns out this drove them nuts. Because I was able to find the dozen or more salient data already posted on the Net and match this up with the people and their contact data - then post this in a dozen original ways, so taking over top areas of the Google real estate. And of course, I then got attacked by these guys in defense.  And told them simply to give me my refund - which is mostly what I was after.

But you see, they were teaching me as well as I was teaching them.

Today, they'll come to work and fire up their searches to see what I posted over the weekend. I've just told them that their efforts to shut me up with bluster about their trademarks didn't work. And I taught them there how to improve their own stance on trademarks - as well as anyone else out there in how to shut them completely down. Completely.

That book I linked in the title (http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/genius---how-to-be-one-how-to-live-with-it/1716492) "Genius" - actually lays out exactly how to tap into this continuous flow of solutions to any problem you run into in life. 

And the test of it with these Scammers has proved it once again. But it's actually based on some very old writings - which are mostly ignored today. It's just that the Internet has brought them back into play. 

I can say clearly and confidently that Internet scammers are doomed. Like the poor, they will always be with us, as an ever-changing set of personalities. And, like the poor, they only have to change their decisions in order to move into being outrageously profitable and honestly helping the rest of humankind succeed and evolve.

Their choice.

Sure, I'm not going to be blogging about scammers forever. Once they pay me off, I'll be able to move onto other areas which are far more fascinating and rewarding. But this was an action I had to take - because intuition told me to. And I've learned more in a shorter period of time about myself and the way the world works than I could have through any study of books or classroom.

And I must have been teaching as I went (the reason I blog, no doubt) as I continued to get good data coming into me - that I could learn from. 

Those people I've met through this line have affected me as I've affected them. We've taught each other.  Scammers and Saints alike.

I figured I owed it to you to tell you how this scene works and why. 

Good Hunting!

What you or I should be doing with our lives.

There are two things I keep coming back to - 1) Integrity, 2) Purpose.

Integrity means living with your mistakes and knowing that the Golden Rule is inescapably tied to everything we do.

Purpose is your passion - what you are here for in this life of yours.

And really, I haven't found any other items which destine what I say, do, and feel more than these.

Mostly, I've still been examining the 7 principles of Huna - and I continue to evolve in my thinking and my ideals as I work with these. And the work I have to do (and love to do) daily on this farm keeps me very real in all this.

Can't get "big-headed" when a tree fell on the fence, and it's too cold to plant the crops, and you are the proud proxy-father of a new, cute calf. Keeps you humble.

But that second principle of Huna explains that age-old Golden Rule. "There are no limits." In a non-NLP way, this could be better stated as: "Everything is connected." So what you do to someone else has your own hand tied to it - slapping someone else's face hurts your own. Giving open-handed is then the best policy, isn't it? Would you like to recieve a gift? Then give openly. If you like complements, then pass some around. Honesty used gets honest treatment in return.

This recent work I've been doing in "stop telemarkters' Internet scams" hasn't really seen my positive side in all this. And, as both "The Secret" and Huna point out, when you push a negative, you get it's opposite. Opposing someone getting elected gets them elected. Supporting their opponent (positive) gets their opponent elected.

So in order to get "Thrive Learning Institute" shut down (or starting to honestly deliver what they promise), I'll need to start promoting what they don't deliver on. Means moving back to my earlier work.

But I'll leave the subject on a positive note - by telling people how they can get their prosperty back by reclaiming their privacy. (Stop telemarkters from calling you, in other words.)

Should be an interesting approach to life. Get these guys handled by working on my own prosperity - which actually means getting others to prosper. Great stuff.

Hate; anxiety; addiction - how emotions run our lives.

I've been working on a book about how to stop telemarketers' internet scams and ran across both ends of the emotional spectrum, which gives us pause to study what we do every day.

At one end was the Cialdini 6 (or 7) emotional triggers we all have to some degree and that telemarketers (and most all salespeople) use to a greater or lesser degree to get us to buy.

At the other end is the work we can get into in "exacting Justice" or "getting even." Of course, both sets of emotions are present in a scam. (Plus the plain old-fashioned greed of the Internet scammers.)

I know this last one well - as I was born a Scorpio and you either run hot or cold, depending on how you've re-trained yourself - or not. Scorpio's can be the most dedicated staff you have once you gain their loyalty - but the term "hell hath no fury" aptly describes their darker side.

And so I was a bit surprised when my intuition told me to pursue a refund after I found I had been suckered into an Internet scam. But testing it, that inner voice still said to "go for it". So I went about turning my research tools loose in this area - but still standing back to watch what I was doing.

A short side bar: the scammers I'm dealing with take advantage of people who are the early boomers, in their 40's to 60's and don't know a great deal about the Internet. These scammers sell them an overpriced training package which may teach them quite a bit about setting up an Internet site, but it won't make their money back. The scammers' Achilles' heel is that they don't really apply what they teach. And so are easily blindsided by people who can link them to a scam by regular old search engine optimization. (So people who learn to look someone up on the Internet will find their scams right off.) See, they get their leads from people clicking on some freebie gimmick - and then telemarket those leads into sales. Scammers don't actively cultivate their own niche of Internet training, or whatever they think they are supposed to be looking like they're doing. To them, the Internet is one big scam - with millions of suckers born every minute.

Now, what we are talking about today is how emotions run our lives. And how this is actually a form of addiction (or at least the metaphor fits.)

I'm straining a bit here to find where I've covered this before. I've earlier said that addiction was a matter of choices. And also that a person could reprogram him self by choosing the interests which surrounds him - in marketing terms: their niche. And there's an older post which covers exactly how we are re-programming ourselves constantly - the trick is to take this off automatic.

But there's no reason to go into how to do that here, just pick up a copy of Nightingale's Strangest Secret and follow his 30-day program, if you're needing structure about how to do it - or get my "Go Thunk Yourself S'More" (or it's blog) and follow those instructions.

The main point here is that whatever we do, we need to be studying our own actions as well as the emotional motivations we use, and also our emotional responses. Both of these terms, "emotional" and "actions" are entirely self-caused - if even by neglect.

And when we take responsibility for these actions and emotions - and start planning our works and then working those plans toward our own innate purpose - then life becomes extremely livable and even joyous. But more than likely, we reach some inimitable and indomitable internal peace with ourselves - something Nightingale describes as a "calm, cheerful expectancy" about life and living. I believe some might refer to this as "Zen."

What to do about those scammers? Well, I'm not purposed to be some sort of activist, so I'll finish up the book and its marketing, get my refund, and move onto a number of projects which cry out for my attention. Is there a need to get that scene sorted out? Sure - there has to be some discipline in life for all the guys who "cheat" the rules which the rest of us live by. Mostly because if we don't put some restraint on them, they'll wind up in a very sorry and expensive state which the rest of us will physically and morally pay for. (Both prison and state-financed health-care are both extremely expensive with little or no return to the taxpayers who foot the bill. Plus we tend to feel bad about the people in those conditions.)
