The Gift a Man Gives to Himself by Alexander Green

Years ago, when my daughter Hannah was much younger, she developed an unfortunate habit, one not unusual in kids. When she found herself in a situation where she had to choose between telling the uncomfortable truth or making up a lie, she'd often opt for the latter.

I clamped down hard on this but - as parents generally find - in many instances it simply isn't possible to know whether your children are telling the truth.

You don't want them to think you don't trust them. But neither do you want them to believe they can escape the consequences - both immediate and long-term - of lost credibility.

The problem with a lie, I told Hannah, is not that it won't be believed. It's that it will be. Then the liar supposes that whenever he gets into a tight spot all he has to do is make up something good and he can avoid the consequences of his actions.

Abraham Lincoln was right. You can't fool all of the people all of the time. Eventually, the truth will out. And when it does, you're saddled with the reputation of being someone who can't be believed - even when you're telling the truth.

It's a terrible thing, I told Hannah, to go through life knowing in your heart of hearts that you can't be trusted. What a sad opinion to hold about yourself, how damaging to your own self-image.

Yet this lesson was apparently lost on Russell Wasendorf, Sr. ...

The news about him this week would have been more shocking if it weren't becoming so depressingly familiar.

Wasendorf, the head of Peregrine Financial Group, admitted to embezzling more than $100 million from clients over nearly 20 years by personally doctoring bank statements and duping auditors with the help of a post office drop box.

A signed statement found in Wasendorf's car after his attempted suicide said, in part, "I have committed fraud ... I had no access to additional capital and I was forced into a difficult decision.

Should I go out of business or cheat? I guess my ego was too big to admit failure, so I cheated."

[winston]

continue ...

Let's be clear about something. The problem here wasn't too much pride but too little.

How could Wasendorf walk around each day smiling at customers, slapping backs and shaking hands - presenting himself as an economic success story - when he knew his life was a fraud?

This is clearly a man in denial, as further evidenced by his statement this week that - despite his private jet and $100,000 wine collection - "I did not live lavishly."

Some will point out that Wasendorf still takes a backseat to scoundrel supreme Bernie Madoff who lived high on the hog while bilking his clients out of more than $64 billion, even stealing $15.2 million from the charitable foundation of Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.

What is wrong with these men? How could they show their faces in public knowing what they were doing in private? It's not just that they had no shame. They had no genuine self-esteem.

As psychologist Nathaniel Branden writes, "One of the greatest self-deceptions is to tell oneself, ‘Only I will know.' Only I know I am a liar; only I will know I deal unethically with people who trust me; only I will know I have no intention of honoring my promise.

The implication is that my judgment is unimportant and that only the judgment of others counts. But when it comes to matters of self-esteem, I have more to fear from my own judgment than from anyone else's.

In the inner courtroom of my mind, mine is the only judgment that counts. My ego, the ‘I' at the center of my consciousness, is the judge from whom there is no escape.

I can avoid people who have learned the humiliating truth about me. I cannot avoid myself."

[winston]

continue ...

The other sure conclusion is that these men had no sense of honor. Some, like author and social commentator James Bowman, even claim that - outside the culture of the military - we are living today in "a post-honor society."

Let's hope not. Who we are - both as individuals and as a society - still depends on what we do and what we are willing to stand up for.

Do we treat others fairly? Do we speak respectfully? Do we carry ourselves with dignity? Do we act with courage and personal responsibility? Few questions are more crucial than these - or are more important in determining the arc of our lives.

In the award-wining historical drama Rob Roy, Liam Neeson plays the title character, a man chided for his uncompromising and often inconvenient integrity.

Asked in one scene by his young sons to define honor, his answer couldn't be more succinct. "Honor," he replies, " is the gift a man gives to himself."

It's a shame that Bernie Madoff and Russell Wasendorf never offered it to themselves. And now everybody knows it.

Body Language By Ruth Landers

Would you like to be able to understand what a friend or loved one is trying to tell you? Try mimicking their body language.

It might seem odd, but studies say that if you adopt a similar posture or use similar gestures as the person your talking to, you are more likely to be attuned to their emotions.

This phenomenon is known as physiological synchrony.

Color Your Mood

Research confirms that changing your mood may be as simple as changing the colors around you.

Clothing, room decors, even a small colors object like accessories or a handbag will give you benefits.

For example:

Blue. Any shade can have a calming effect and creates feeling of serenity.

Green. Brings balance to your mind and smoothes out your hectic day-to-day routine.

Orange. Makes you feel more optimistic. A pick-me-up when you’re sluggish.

Red. Increases your energy level and stimulates your heart rate.

Purple. Shades of lilac and violet generate creativity

Throwing Chickens to the Reptiles
Author: Stuart Wilde, Stuart Wilde

Some humans are reptiles—grinning crocodiles. They are ice cold inside and they have a disdain for humanity.

Reptiles grin a lot, but it gives them away; there is a phony quality to it. A grin that comes from your heart goes all the way through your soul to the outer edges of your smile, while the reptile’s grin stops short, and there is a very feint curled lip to it that marks the reptile’s predatory essence.

When the reptiles move around they leave an etheric trail; it’s a presence in the force field of a room say, like a wispy cloud of cigarette smoke hanging in the air. You can feel it.

The reptile humans are abducted humans, but they don’t know they have been captured. They pretend to have a mind. In fact they belong to another evolution—a netherworld which stretches down through the floor and below us at 240º.

But because they are supported and instructed and held up from within by the transdimensional ghouls, the humans almost never get sick and they are often very rich and/or very powerful. When the ghouls choose one of their humans to rule, that person usually winds up ruling. They are given the fast track to the top.

The trick to the reptiles is to love them and always agree with them and make them right, even when they are wrong. There is never any sense in trying to reason with them or take them on; you can’t appeal to human values and fairness, they are feeders. And anyway, you are only looking at the front man of a dark power, which may be one hundred thousand entities strong.

The reptile humans always have their inner world allies and they will get up ahead of you and disadvantage you, and bend the minds of the bosses or the lawyers or judges, or anyone that might have an authority that could offer you a fair shake. It is almost impossible to beat the reptiles.

When dealing with the reptile human the trick is to throw them a chicken and keeping throwing chickens for as long as it takes. Tell them they are marvelous and right, and decent and fair, and tell them what a great contribution and energy they provide for others. Tell them they are a savior.

Make them into mini-gods. That is what they want to hear. You’ll find they will rob your energy very quickly. But suffer it for a bit and keep throwing chickens, just keep telling them they are right and marvelous, it doesn’t cost you anything. Throw chickens, when they are full, flee.

Your only real defense is to keep your distance. Try not to be involved romantically, socially or in business. They will pretend to be decent but they will always eat you—remember that. The predators don’t ever change.

It’s their evolution. There aren’t any crocodiles without teeth. If you are not lunch today, you’ll be dinner tomorrow; humans are just items on the reptile’s list.

The reptiles sometimes have a dark blob on their cheek, it’s usually about two inches in diameter just a little bigger than a silver dollar. It hovers frantically, jiggling about up and down. It also travels around their face, so you’ll see the blob near their nose and seconds later it has drifted up under one eye and so forth.

In darkened rooms like a nightclub you can see it sometimes, but in daylight it disappears from view. It’ s the mark of the beast in the sense that it is a blot on their soul that they carry about with them—a marking that they have put on themselves over time. Nothing much is hidden in the etheric; it’s all there to see.

The human reptiles own this world and they control it in every minute detail. They make the laws, control the wealth and write the news. They are the ones that are chosen and elevated and endowed and placed into power. And their allies in the inner world guard all the doors, even the religious and spiritual ones, nothing moves without their permission. Take a lot of chickens, you can’t win.

But… there is always a but…

Now after ten thousand years, the reign of endless, cruel kings and queens that have been sustained by the unseen, lower kingdom, is about to change. The human reptiles will eventually fall and their world will be carried away, the only thing left at the end is the sound of water.

I feel for them…love them, as I said, just love them. It probably won’t help you or them one bit, but what else can one suggest?

NLP "Persuasion Formula" in 5 Simple Steps by Tim Tarango

You can use this simple "formula" in just about any scenario where you want to influence someone to take action.


Step #1: Know your Intention

This is a mindset thing... What is your intention or purpose for what you are doing? What are you trying to accomplish?

Are you coming from a place of strength? or fear?

You better know what your intention is because your body language, tonality, and word choice will give you
away!


Step #2: Build Rapport Quickly

People like to interact with other people who are like themselves.

Without rapport it is next to impossible to be persuasive.


Step #3: Manage your State

Now that you've created rapport you need to be able to manage your state. Why? Because YOUR state is going
to dictate the state of the person or people are you are talking with!

Do you want them to be excited? calm? energized? sorrowful? motivated?


Step #4: Use Language with a Purpose

Here's where NLP gives you an almost unfair advantage when it comes to persuasion...

You can use your language to speak to your audience at a deep subconscious level...

...make your audience see, hear, and feel what you describe

...and ultimately perceive the choice YOU want them to make as the most desirable.


Step #5: "Frame" your Call to Action

Lastly, you want to state your call to action (what you want your audience to do), and "frame" it in a way that
makes it irresistible to them.
