The science of persuasion: Being positive

2012-01-24T02:55:00.008-05:00

"Being positive" is a theme that has multiple meanings in the practice of persuasion. In this discussion, it can refer to 1.) sharing energy in a way that makes us uplifting to others, 2.) positively influencing someone's state of mind, 3.) being like a mirror, and 4.) phrasing sentences in positive ways rather than using negations like "no" and "not." If you want to improve your skill, meditate on this concept of being positive.

Being uplifting:
People resist everything that brings their spirits down, so it's usually best to avoid talking to people in a way that makes them feel embarrassed or ashamed.

If you want to shame someone, go ahead and do it, but don't let that voice in your head, monkey-mind, convince you that you are persuading them by shaming them. We often think shame motivates, but we're wrong. The creature called "person" can be motivated: give it an opportunity to feel good. Freud explained this truth and he called it the pleasure principle. People are driven toward what feels good. If you are making someone feel bad, you are probably not going to motivate them.

Being a positive influence on someone's state of mind:
Sometimes you can talk in a way that makes people feel amazing when they are around you. You know how to send powerful, positive messages to the subconscious mind. It is possible to use words that influence the subconscious mind.

And they might feel a subtle trance come over them when they see your stillness, your deep state of mind. Even doing something simple like looking at on a clock in the kitchen, someone might suddenly feel herself being thrown into a subtle trance. A person in a trance can see many colors, even behind closed eyelids the mind continues to see the colors, and all the information they are receiving sends them deeper into the stillness of the trance. As you read these lines, you can see many colors, and the information you are receiving sends you deeper into the stillness of the moment. If you have stillness in this moment, you can have stillness in any moment, and you can share it with others. If you want to see demonstrations of this technique, search Google Video for these words: mindfulness practice

Being like a mirror:
When you speak with someone, validate them subtly by matching your movements to theirs, even matching the timing of your breathing. Make it so that they see movement happening in perfect timing with their movements as they shift side to side or gesture with their arms. They will not consciously notice (unless you are being stupidly obvious about it), but they will feel themselves entering a meditative state of mind.

When you dance with someone, it feels good because all your movements correspond and validate one another. You make each other feel okay, and you entrance one another. Well in a subtle way, you can dance with total strangers when you match their movements as described above. Can you speak to someone standing several feet away but still get a feeling like you are dancing with them? If you can do that, you can be like a mirror and help people into a trance when you talk with them. If you want to see demonstrations of this technique, search Google Video for these words: matching and mirroring

Being positive in sentence structure:
Be positive in another way, too: Phrase sentences in a positive way, because the subconscious mind does not really respond so much to a sentence that includes the word "not." For example, this sentence is bad to say to a kid:

Do not go in the street.

Maybe the kid was not even thinking of going in the street, but now you put the idea in his head. When you put an idea in someone's head they are going to be influenced by it. This sentence is better:

You can play here in the yard.

This sentence brings the kid's attention to the yard, and that is what the parent really wants. The difference is enormous between these two ways of expressing the same idea.

A disoriented incarnation of god.

2011-08-06T15:57:00.005-04:00

Person - per·son/pərsən/Noun - A disoriented incarnation of god.

I was arguing with an atheist, and he said he had no reason to believe "god" exists. But "god" is a word, and it refers to something I do believe in.

God is the word we use to name that being which is having a creative experience. The being's motive for creation must be the same as my own motive, which is to make existence tolerable.

You can't deny the existence of a creative being having an experience. Here you are! And it would be egotistical of you to assert that you are the most powerful kind of creative being. So what is far-fetched about a god-concept? You are like a goddamn god walking around right now, muttering about how far-fetched it is to think some being like you could exist.

So, here we are as the "imagination of ourselves" (Bill Hicks said that...).

As you can imagine, it was an unforgettable experience, arguing with that atheist. There I was, face-to-face with a disoriented incarnation of god... trying to convince Him that He exists!

Social Security and the debt ceiling agreement: Obama needs some money, Grandma!

2011-07-26T11:25:00.000-04:00

Hey Grandma, I need a favor. Would you mind if we let the government keep a little of your social security money next year?

Obama doesn’t want to ask you for it, but he has to do something to show that he is willing to compromise with the Republicans. They said they’ll only let him close some tax loopholes and get revenue from their corporate, fat cat friends if you let them keep a little of your social security money.

Obama doesn’t want to cut your social security, but the Republicans are making him do it. Obama is on your side. He wishes he could just raise taxes a little for the rich, because now that America has been in existence for so long a LOT of the money has accumulated in the bank accounts of the very rich. You know how it goes, Grandma… “you have to have money to make money.” And Obama knows that some people in this country have a lot of the money sitting in their bank accounts, so he wants them to use some of that… but they won’t do it unless he cuts some of your social security.

So, I know it’s not fair Grandma, but it’s the only way. The Republicans are like lawyers representing the big business of corporate America. Big businesses love the Republicans, because they want lower taxes and less government regulation. But the rest of us want clean air, ethical practices, and stuff like that. Also, we want good public education and a good health care system; people who are very rich do not even send their kids to public schools, and they don't need many social services, so they want to elect Republicans who will fight for lower taxes and smaller government. I'm sorry, but we have to face the fact that the Republicans have interests that are very different from ours.

The point is, Grandma, I need some money. Well, it’s not for me, it’s for Obama. The Republicans said they will only let him close some tax loopholes if he makes some entitlement cuts, and that means you, unfortunately, Grandma.

Reasons NOT To Believe the Government is a Puppet Show

2011-07-25T12:32:00.007-04:00

Some people think all the lawmakers are just actors in a scripted play. They think a few very rich people set up this play and give us a struggle to watch: Dem v. Republicans. A "puppet show" like that may be achieved a few years from now, but in 2011 you can see that a large-scale conspiracy like that still is not quite possible.

1.) Secrets are hard to keep. If the big financial interest groups were really calling the shots and the congresspeople were just actors, this would have to be a very large scale conspiracy with many people involved. Someone would blow the secret.

2.) Humans have been known to martyr themselves. Yes, even if you tell someone you'll kill him for revealing the conspiracy... humans have been shown historically to put themselves at risk based on their ideals.

3.) Yes, we still have ideals. In the ongoing battle between good and evil, there may be a lot of conspiracies, but... good is not entirely dead yet.

MANY government officials are bought and paid for, sure. And that is why we need people like Elisabeth Warren, Obama, Bernie Sanders... fearless idealists willing to poke the beast in the eye.

Do you get it? Good is not entirely dead yet! It is not realistic to think no one would disrupt the puppet show.

Can a man be a feminist?

2011-07-14T15:58:00.001-04:00

Of course a man can be a feminist!

People think I'm joking when I tell them I am a feminist. I guess they think guys can't be feminists. But this is not, like, boys against the girls in the game of global hegemony; we should just be rational. Women are better leaders.

I'm not saying women are good decision-makers or anything like that. They are goddamn crazy. But men are, too. Men and women are irrational and foolish in completely different ways, but letting a woman make the big decisions... well, it's just a safer bet.

Women lash out by using a guilt trip and making you feel bad. Men lash out by punching or shooting each other.
Women produce a hormone called oxytocin that is associated with feelings of nurturing. Men produce a hormone called testosterone that is associated with aggressiveness and competitiveness.

Humans are nutty, completely batshit. But in light of the differences between male crazy and female crazy, it seems a lot better to have a woman calling the shots for a while. Patriarchal ideas are so deeply rooted in our society that people don't even realize it. If women were the leaders and lawmakers in every country, it would be a completely different world.

If you agree that a man can (and should) be a feminist, maybe you would like to continue the conversation by following DoctorMyDocument, the coolest blog on the Internet.

Why are liberals frustrated with Obama?

2011-07-11T08:55:00.002-04:00

I just want to share this, because this morning I thought about it in a new way.

I think nobody ever talks about their progressive or conservative ideologies in Washington. What is there to say? They all know what they want, and they help each other get what they want. They all want to satisfy their supporters.

All those cronies (both parties) just hash it out in discussion, and they speak plainly about how they can all come out ahead.

"You know damn well we need to do XX or our base is going to crucify us."
"Yes, but if we let you do that, we will look weak, and you know it."

Some are getting bribed, while others are just trying to get re-elected, but they all share a common experience: They are doing what people have always done when they have a lot to gain or lose. They say to each other, "Okay, let's just stop and think about this for a minute."

The politicians do what rich people do when a rivalry begins. They work out an agreement. One rich guy says to the other, "Look, we both have a lot of money. Let's squash this little argument and go eat some truffles."

It's the same among politicians. Behind closed doors, they all discuss their respective narratives and needs, and together they figure out what is best for each of them. The lawmakers have no incentive to do anything real; it's all about appearances.

So, for example, right now Obama is arguing with the GOP about a deal for raising the debt ceiling. All the progressive people want Obama to hold his ground for once and not cave in to their demands. But the only reason people are frustrated with him for "caving in" in the past (i.e. extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, etc.) was because of this same phenomenon described above: Obama wanted to take progressive action, so he agreed to let the GOP seem like they were kicking his ass.

And in this current (theatrical) debate about the debt ceiling, they are just working out a deal where all of them get to look good. One side asks for enormous concessions, the other side concedes, and at the end of the day they just do what enables them to all look good to their constituents and the big financial interests whose junk they are secretly sucking.

But the difference is that Obama is an idealist, and that is why he has had a surprisingly productive presidency. How many times have you heard liberals expressing frustration with Obama? It's because they don't recognize his wisdom. He has high aspirations, so he does not even give a crap about looking good. In the Tao Te Ching, something is specifically mentioned about the fact that if you are popular with others, you are probably a goddamn liar. (Not in those exact words)

So, yeah. Obama has had the most legislatively productive first term of any president in like 60 years or something. Don't quote me on that, I just heard it somewhere, and I'm not trying to be a big shot fact checker. How do you measure that sort of thing, anyway? Legislative productivity, I mean.

The point is, he has wisdom. Obama got the GOP to agree to all sorts of stuff by allowing them to save face -- and because the average citizen barely pays attention to the news, it is easy to frame the whole thing in a way that allows the GOP to look like a bunch of bad asses telling Obama what to do.

So, remember, the politicians in congress are just like the rich people eating crumpets. They say, "Hey, lets try to make this as easy on one another as possible." It's easy and typical for politicians to help one another look good.

That's why every time you hear a liberal complaining about Obama, it should remind you that he is a little different.

How to start a sentence with the words "I believe."

2011-07-07T19:30:00.004-04:00

What is the correct way to start a sentence with the words "I believe?"

The correct way is to omit that stupid, awful phrase.

I believe the best way to catch a ninja is to use some sort of humane trap that is not likely to cause injury.

Just cut it right out of the sentence:

~~I believe~~ The best way to catch a ninja is to use some sort of humane trap that is not likely to cause injury.

This is better:

The best way to catch a ninja is to use some sort of humane trap that is not likely to cause injury.

So, that is the lesson for today. Kill that awful, little phrase. When you say “I believe,” it is like saying, “This may not be true, but I believe it is true.”

You have a more powerful sentence when you just state what you believe. You do not have to qualify your assertion as something YOU believe. If you are saying it, you clearly believe it.

If you want to look at a more serious example, consider this line from a professional letter:

I believe my areas of interest and specialization enable me to find real inspiration for this kind of work.

Cut it out:

~~I believe my~~ My areas of interest and specialization enable me to find real inspiration for this kind of work.

Even if you see it in the middle of the sentence, cut it out:

My areas of interest and specialization enable me to find real inspiration for this kind of work, and ~~I believe~~ my own values are consistent with those of your fine organization.

Strategies for Grad Students: Hail to the Jewel in the Center of the Journal Article!

2011-07-06T20:47:00.002-04:00

Cheers to the jewel in the center of the lotus. That's some Buddhism for you. What is the jewel in the center of an article you are looking at during your research?

It is a single goddamn sentence.

When you look at a research article, the guy might have written 30 pages of analysis, but he probably has only one sentence, one message. The message is a single sentence, and the rest of the article is just there to explain, elaborate, and substantiate the big idea.

So... when you are feeling overwhelmed by thousands of pages of journal articles as you work toward your degree or whatever you are doing, keep this in mind: Each article has only one big idea. Skim to it. Get to the point.

That is the jewel in the center of the article.

One book/article = One Big Idea

Peer-reviewed, professional journal articles and books by scholars represent these ongoing conversations that take place among the people in any given professional field. It's just a conversation. Don't let it get you overwhelmed.

Just glean that big idea from each article, and jump into the conversation by writing a meaningful article of your own.

Expectation Magic

2011-07-03T12:37:00.000-04:00

Most people believe that attitude influences outcomes, and usually they reason that it is because a positive attitude improves performance, perception, and the atmosphere of the whole operation. Attitude influences outcomes, because a bad attitude brings everybody down, and a good attitude lifts spirits. Also, people who understand the psychology of language know that attitude is transmitted from person to person via the words they share (and altered in the lens of associations).

But these are only the obvious mechanisms that cause attitude to influence reality. Some of us believe that there is something more.

It has been called the "Law of Attraction," "Universal Will," "The Power of Prayer," "Creative Visualization," and many other names. This mechanism is the mind itself, the one that Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki has called "Big Mind." You can find clues about it in every spiritual tradition and meditation discipline that has ever been practiced. I have always thought of it as Expectation Magic.

Dr. Deepak Chopra has reported many miraculous healings that have been the result of attitude and expectation. Zen masters are reputed to have been able to perform various miracles with their meditation. Dr. Paul Cho, a minister in Korea, has written about the power of petitionary prayer when it is followed by a period of feeling intense appreciation, as thought the request has already been granted. Father Anthony Demello has written about a similar phenomenon in his book Sadhana. Pagan magical traditions use rituals that amount to a powerful affirmation of expectation. It is not far-fetched to believe that expectation influences reality.

And for all you empiricists who are scoffing at me right now, I'll offer this argument to show that your assumption is not better than mine:

Empiricists assume that physical matter somehow came into existence and that some of it somehow came to life. That leaves little room for expectation magic. I begin my thinking with the assumption that it is consciousness that somehow started existing -- not physical matter.

Consider the implications of that. It is not a new idea. If it seems new, it's just because it is hard to explain. This is an old idea:

If it is consciousness that somehow started existing, it would surely be having a dream about physical matter. And we all know how expectation can influence events when we are dreaming.

Ninja Parenting for Behavior Modification with Toddlers

2011-07-01T22:21:00.003-04:00

Okay, here we go. Some people disagree with my parenting strategy for toddlers, but to hell with those people.

You use that good old behavioral psych. I hate behavioral psych, but it sure works. If they are doing something wrong, you make them have something bad happen that they don’t like.

But you don’t hit or yell at them. You are the grownup, so you can outsmart the little twerp. The toddler does not even see you pull the rug out from under him, and he hits the floor. Bang!

People say that is abusive, but is it really as traumatic as seeing your dad yelling “No!” with a scowl on his face?

You tell me I am abusive if I cause an accident to happen every time the kid gets out of line – for example, the rug comes out from under him, or something heavy falls on him – but that is not abusive. Accidents happen all the time whether I am there or not. In fact, if I was not there, the kid would have a lot more accidents.

So I say let the kid get whapped in the back of the head by some unseen projectile. You do not have to be the one to shout at the kid. If you shout at the kid every time he tries to get something he is not supposed to have… the kid will resent you and resist everything you say to him. Some asshole is reading this and judging me, thinking I am abusive for causing accidents to happen to the kid – but that same judgmental prick is going to become associated in his child’s mind with lots of negative experiences, like getting yelled at, being prevented from getting what you want, etc.

So, if you do not want your kid to resent you, do what I do: Trip the kid up in a sneaky way. You can literally trip him, or you can cause him to get hit by something. Then, you can be the one to pick him up, dust him off, and redirect him.

Ha ha, and one last thing: Parents should not say negatives to a kid. Kids don’t really understand negatives so well. A clear, positive activity is what you need. For example, it is more effective to tell a young child, “Play in the yard,” than it is to say, “Do not go on the street.” The first phrase brings his attention to the yard; the second phrase brings his attention to the street. Very clear instructions about taking positive action are easier to follow than abstract, negative instructions.

Most importantly, do not give the kid the stimulation he is seeking with his negative attention seeking behavior. No emotional reaction, only a swift consequence! Whap! But the trick is to never let the child know it was you who clobbered him with a couch cushion. All the kid will know is that he got knocked down all of a sudden.

And you were there to pick him back up after the fall.

Maybe this will save the smoker...

Addicted to NOT Smoking:

A Hypnotic Trip into Cigarettelessness

A www.DoctorMyDocument.com Publication

Changing Your Mind

with

Hypnosis Consciousness

Born into a mysterious world that is too much to fathom, a life with no explanation, we grab hold of cigarettes the way a shipwrecked sailor grabs hold of a wooden plank in order to keep afloat. A pack of cigarettes in your pocket is something that you can be sure of, and it helps you to cope with all the uncertainty of being a person. Unfortunately, the sense of security that you find in cigarettes is a false one. They’re killing you, actually.

Spacious Mind: A workspace for changing your mind.

This is where you free your person of the burdensome compulsion to judge and analyze every little thing, constantly missing the present moment and its vivid truth because of the distracting rant of the mind. Listen to the sound of your breathing as you read. There is a moment when the inhalation stops and the exhalation has yet to begin, like the moment of stillness when a ball thrown up in the air has stopped ascending but has not yet started to fall. Within and between all movements of breath and body, there is the entirety of life—and life can be pleasure. The volume of life’s pleasure can be turned up until it overwhelms the comparatively minor discomfort of nicotine withdrawal. It is as simple as changing your mind.

Smoke-Strike: Like a hunger-strike, this is a practice of renunciation.

Resolve to be free of the habit for a few hours tomorrow. The habit began when an occasional cigarette provided a temporary escape from your tired old routine. No nicotine dependence had developed yet, so you smoked for other reasons. When you first tried cigarettes you were trying something new, something exciting. But cigarettes are not new anymore, are they? Your relationship to cigarettes has changed completely. Now they have become part of the tired old routine, and they offer enjoyment only in the form of relief from the physical discomfort associated with nicotine craving. Your relationship to cigarettes has changed in such a way that, now, not to smoke would be an escape from the tired old routine. Imagine that.

Reading Hypnosis: Rest in your practice.

Breathe easy. Relax your face and shoulders. Loosen away any tension that you might be holding in the chest area. A subtle trance occurs naturally while you read, and you can deepen the trance by deliberately sharpening your focus until you achieve slender, pinpoint precision. Cooperate with the trance, and go deeper into the stillness of the moment. To stay with the reading and the sound of your breathing is so much easier than letting your mind wander. These words are good for you, so do not read them with your ordinary, wide-awake discernment—let your guard down. Let your attention float slowly across the page with each breath.

Creative Action: You can choose to be active or passive in any moment.

The extent to which you inhabit your own mind is the extent to which you can be an active creator of life. Act according to your will rather than serving the impulsive, monkey-mind of the person, and you can create life as you go, shaping your life situation by gently manipulating the unfolding of events in the present moment. If you act on every little passing impulse, you’ll be busy like an overworked servant. A slave. Don’t be a slave to the monkey-mind’s thousands of stupid little thoughts (they have nothing to do with you), because you’ll be too busy to create anything; you will not be an active participant. You’ll end up like the lonely kid sitting with no one to dance with, benched on the sidelines of life.

Hypnosis Consciousness: Where subject and object meet.

You are awareness looking out at the world through the eyes of a person. Humanity changes according to ideas that have been entertained, and your own life also changes according to ideas. Hypnosis is the technique for accessing a deep place in consciousness, the place where subject and object meet, and introducing ideas. The quality of your attention is what determines your ability to influence the changes that will happen in the world and in the person. Strength of concentration is the necessary trait, the one that lets you co-create instead of suffering through life with no control.

Chapter One

Changing Your Mind

This moment, you can go the right way. You can take the path of a slightly different you, very much like the existing you, except without the cigarettes. Changing your mind is delicate work. It’s like brain surgery without the surgery. It’s like cleaning an oven, only it’s a self-cleaning oven, so it cleans itself, but that is really hard for an oven to do.

Monkey-mind is the know-it-all kind, a control-freak that tries to run the whole show, and she has her own ideas about what the person should do. If you challenge her, she just crosses her arms and tells you no. Monkey-mind tells you that she has been running this person for a long time, and she is not about to let you start making all kinds of changes. Not now, not ever. She has worked too hard to establish this self-image, and the person is just barely keeping her shit together as it is. Don’t change anything, monkey-mind says. If you want to enact any changes, you’re going to have to trick monkey-mind. Lull her to sleep. Get her to go to bed before the person does, or distract her skillfully. You need to steal some opportunities to speak with the person in private, without the interference of that busybody, monkey-mind.

Monkey-mind is the talkative type, a flamboyant and conceited little prick. If you want to know what monkey-mind is, close your eyes and try not to think about anything for 60 seconds. That little voice in your head, the one that doesn’t know how to shut up, is the voice called monkey-mind. It can be a useful tool, just like your hands, or ears, or a shovel, or a pocket-dictionary. When you ‘think about’ something, you suggest the topic to monkey-mind and allow it to start making a lot of associations. Offer a topic, emphysema for example, and the voice will mumble: “…cigarettes, oxygen tank, permanent damage, hyperventilation, sadness, suffering…” The talkative monkey-mind works just like a search engine on the Internet.

There is a problem with monkey-mind, though, and its usefulness is often compromised. Tools are never as useful when used incorrectly. Sometimes they actually become dangerous, and this is the case with monkey-mind. What makes your mind dangerous is that it is like a computer from which you can’t log off. Thinking is always going on, and when something is always present it seems to become a part of you. Your home town, your family, your body, your monkey-mind, even your car—you are like that ugly little duck in the story, all confused about what you are, so you identify more with the things that are always around. And because monkey-mind provides solutions to your problems and the words with which to express yourself, the tendency is to identify with it even more than with other things.

What do we mean when we say ‘identification’ with one thing and another? You live from there, perceiving those things to be the constituents of your ‘self,’ as if they are what make you up. You relinquish part of your ability to be, settling for a comfortable illusion because you’re scared of the unknown. But if Lewis and Clark had been scared of venturing into the unknown, they would never have discovered Sacajewia, and we wouldn’t have those Sacajewia dollar-coins. At a loss for what to make of themselves in this human condition, people identify with mind and body, because mind and body are always present. When that ugly duck thought he was a duck, he might as well have been a duck for all practical purposes. He couldn’t fly until he found out that he was a misplaced eagle. Or maybe he was a swan, or a seagull or something. Nevermind the stupid duck. The point is, when you let things in your environment affect the way you think of your ‘self,’ your actions are affected as well. It’s not okay. Even if you have a nice car that could make you feel better about yourself, don’t. Pretending that you are your car is not the answer, and neither is it the answer to pretend that you are that voice in your head.

You are Not the Thinking Mind

The monkey-mind’s ongoing stream of thought could be compared to the process of Rorscharch Ink Blot Test: The present moment of your life shows you a particular scene from your life-situation, which is like an ink blot, and monkey-mind spouts a stream of associations between your preexisting knowledge/ideas and the content of the present-moment scene. You are not your accumulation of memories and mental associations—you are not the thinking, monkey-mind.

It is difficult to regard your self as separate from your thoughts, because your thoughts are the constituents of your “identity,” and it is scary not to know what you are. That scariness was the reason for identifying with external things, like cigarettes, in the first place. The unknown is so scary that members of religious groups have been willing to commit mass suicide under the leadership of some fanatic who convinced them that he had it all figured out. We cling to our beliefs. Just as your imagination fills in the blind spots in your vision so well that you don’t know you have them, identification with external things enables you to feel as though you know what you are when you really don’t. Monkey-mind is one of those external things, like a wardrobe or a fancy house, but to see monkey-mind as external requires more self-study.

Very simple people might identify with their sports cars, and when they hit spiritual puberty they might have a realization that the cars have little to do with the self, but they might still identify with their bodies. After more self-study and further realization, they might discover that they are not their bodies either, but they might still identify with the thoughts of monkey-mind. Only the most resolute seekers of spiritual truth can actually experience themselves beyond the level of thought.

You can too, but until you do, you’re an ugly little duck.

A Word about Your Ninja Costume…

The one who makes the changes is not the one being changed. Here, a distinction needs to be made.

Changing your mind is like changing out of your ninja costume. Undressing in your apartment after a night of ninja-ing around in other people’s yards just for the thrill, the naughty rush it gives you, you have achieved such a level of sneakiness that you can hardly even find yourself inside your costume. Except for the face-mask and fanny-pack, your sleek, tight ninja costume is all one piece, and it provocatively contours every bulge and crevice of your equally sleek, tight ninja body. You almost cannot tell where the hand-sewn, jet-black, cotton-polyester blend of fabric ends and you begin.

You hate to take off your ninja costume, because so many of your best memories are of times when you were wearing it, peering through people’s windows while hiding in clouds of smoke, and you feel as though the costume is a part of who you are. So, you sit alone at home sometimes, dressed as a ninja, trying to make a living as a writer so as to avoid ever having to leave the house. You only go out on ninja missions. And, you wear your mask. That way, if anyone ever sees you, you can just ninja off to someone else’s yard and hide – until it’s safe to sneak home.

You hate to change. Your costume is what helps you to sneak around and be anonymous, so that, even if people see you, they won’t know you. They’ll know they saw a ninja, sure, a ninja who disappeared behind a cloud of smoke, but they won’t know the real you. You especially hate to take off your ninja face mask, because someone might see your true face. Someone might catch you sneaking around, because you have a habit of sneaking around in public places during the day, and they would figure out that you are a ninja and tell everybody and they would all think you are really cool, but then someone would recognize you in your costume one night when they switch the flood light on and say, hey, Kevin, why don’t you put some normal pants on, and get away from my cat, before I call the police. Get out. Get out of here.

So, it’s like that. Changing your mind is tricky business, because there is a part of your mind that sounds like a voice in your head, and you tend to think of it as your own voice, not like the others. One voice doesn’t sound as hoarse and angry as the others. The voice that is left over after medicine makes the others go away, the main character on the radio program in your head, is what meditation practitioners call “monkey mind.”

It isn’t someone else’s voice, but it isn’t yours either. It is more like the echo of your phenomenal experience. A phenomena-commentary. Your present moment experience pours into a puddle of memories, stirring up your stillness and making a sound like a voice in your head. The voice is so familiar that you do not know where it ends and you begin. To change your mind requires that you differentiate between what is you and what is not, discern what part of mind is changeable from the changeless one who manifests the change. After all, this voice in your head is the culprit, giving you the notion that you would like to smoke a cigarette, even though you know you want to quit. We name it monkey-mind in order to understand it as part of your experience rather than as a part of who you are. You are the one who chooses the change; you are not that little voice, bitching about needing a cigarette.

Crash Course on Capitalism (part 1)

2011-06-24T14:09:00.006-04:00

You might think 35% income tax for the rich is too high, but only if you don't understand capitalism. In the 21st century, about four hundred people have almost 50% of the wealth in the United States (Forbes). Quick explanation below:

In a free market, those with money can make more money a lot faster than those without money. Over the course of generations, the playing field is more and more uneven. People without money have to seek out those with money and apply for a job. Those with money spend time investing, and those without money spend time working as employees.

The free market was only an even playing field when it began; now it is a very uneven playing field. That's why we need government to regulate with labor laws, social services, etc. Of course, the propagandists hired by the big financial interest groups will do everything they can to help the rich save money -- so we have the GOP pretending we can magically fix the economy by LOWERING taxes for the rich, increasing the retirement age so the poor can work more years, etc... and lately, they are even trying to de-fund the Environmental Protection Agency! Unscrupulous.

If you want to learn more about the conflict that causes the rich to buy politicians and use propaganda, please follow this blog.

Also, learn about Keynesian economics. John Keynes was a famous economist who observed that government spending can compensate for a lack of private spending during a time of economic recession -- and he believed government could effectively improve the free market. The purpose of government is to protect people, and after 2 centuries of free market American capitalism we do need to be protected from the effects of this exponentially increasing imbalance of wealth. Just like the rich, the government should make good investments. To the rich, though, the government is just a big pain in the ass.

Addicted to NOT Smoking:

A Hypnotic Trip into Cigarettelessness

Changing Your Mind

Tic, toc, tic, toc, you spill into reality, moment after moment. Tic, toc, tic, toc, your person mixes in with everything else. The world is constantly changing. The person is constantly changing. Subtle manipulations can be made if you are sneaky enough. Are you sneaky enough? Guide the person. Tell her what she wants to hear. Be nice to her, so that she feels very comfortable. The way to make change happen for the person you call “me” is to direct that person, gently and sneakily, according to your will. Repeat instructions over and over while the person is calm, while “monkey-mind” is sleeping.

Smoke-Strike: Like a hunger-strike, this is a practice of renunciation.
Resolve to be free of the habit for a few hours tomorrow. The habit began when an occasional cigarette provided a temporary escape from your tired old routine. No nicotine dependence had developed yet, so you smoked for other reasons. When you first tried cigarettes you were trying something new, something exciting. But cigarettes are not new anymore, are they? Your relationship to cigarettes has changed completely. Now they have become part of the tired old routine, and they offer enjoyment only in the form of relief from the physical discomfort associated with nicotine craving. Your relationship to cigarettes has changed in such a way that, now, not to smoke would be an escape from the tired old routine. Imagine that.

Reading Hypnosis: Rest in your practice.
Breathe easy. Relax your face and shoulders. Loosen away any tension that you might be holding in the chest area. A subtle trance occurs naturally while you read, and you can deepen the trance by deliberately sharpening your focus until you achieve slender, pinpoint precision. Cooperate with the trance, and go deeper into the stillness of the moment. To stay with the reading and the sound of your breathing is so much easier than letting your mind wander. These words are good for you, so do not read them with your ordinary, wide-awake discernment—let your guard down. Let your attention float slowly across the page with each breath.

Creative Action: You can choose to be active or passive in any moment.
The extent to which you inhabit your own mind is the extent to which you can be an active creator of life. Act according to your will rather than serving the impulsive, monkey-mind of the person, and you can create life as you go, shaping your life situation by gently manipulating the unfolding of events in the present moment. If you act on every little passing impulse, you’ll be busy like an overworked servant. A slave. Don’t be a slave to the monkey-mind’s thousands of stupid little thoughts (they have nothing to do with you), because you’ll be too busy to create anything; you will not be an active participant. You’ll end up like the lonely kid sitting with no one to dance with, benched on the sidelines of life.

Hypnosis Consciousness: Where subject and object meet.
You are awareness looking out at the world through the eyes of a person. Humanity changes according to ideas that have been entertained, and your own life also changes according to ideas. Hypnosis is the technique for accessing a deep place in consciousness, the place where subject and object meet, and introducing ideas. The quality of your attention is what determines your ability to influence the changes that will happen in the world and in the person. Strength of concentration is the necessary trait, the one that lets you co-create instead of suffering through life with no control.

Aspiring to be People-Researchers, we create biographical sketches that capture unique truths about the lives of real people. With the help of their friends and family, we created Mini-Biographies of various lengths, and we are beginning to discover that people really do care enough about one another to have aspects of their lives captured in a Gift Biography.

YOU can decide the length & set the direction for a biographical "portrait" by providing the information and instructions to guide us in our writing. As artists, we must follow our creative inclination in the presentation of the stories, but we will try hard to make them exactly right according to your ideas and preferences. We look forward to writing for you!

Kind regards,

A Perspective on Stanley Davis:

Stanley’s Stepson Expresses Appreciation & Understanding

Stanley Davis of North Brookfield, Massachusetts

A man who has played the role of provider in the lives of many people

The life of a person cannot be summed up in a few pages. We can have a glimpse, though, from a single perspective. In this biographical sketch, Matthew Reynolds shares his perspective on Stanley Davis, his stepfather.

Seven years have passed since the day Matthew heard the news that Stanley had proposed to his mother. As an honest man who has experienced hard work ranging from the military to entrepreneurship, Stanley is a stepfather of whom anyone would feel proud. Matthew had also felt relieved, because his mother needed a source of strength and inspiration at that time. Her own parents had recently passed away, and she had also been going through a messy divorce.

Matthew’s first impression of Stanley was that he was a man with the sort of wisdom that can make a person both serious and joyful. Stanley grew up in the years following World War II, and his parents had lived through the Great Depression, so he learned to appreciate honest work and family values. Stanley found great success in business, but he also found disappointment and misfortune. The material wealth that comes and goes is not so important, but the struggle to make ends meet through trying times is a forging process that refines the personality. Stanley impressed Matthew as a person with well-developed wisdom and the ability to generate joy even under difficult circumstances.

Circumstances have indeed been difficult. In the years since Matthew met Stanley and became his stepson, Stanley has made tremendous sacrifices to take care of three young foster children. When Stanley married Matthew’s mother, he did not know that they would be taking custody of three children who had suffered abuse and neglect. For five years, Stanley and Matthew’s mother put aside their own needs to help the children heal. These foster parents even saw their marriage suffer at times because of unavoidable stress associated with raising young children.

When relationships are strained by difficult life circumstances, good intentions and actions are sometimes misunderstood. From Matthew’s perspective it is clear that some of Stanley’s effort goes unnoticed because of the chaotic environment at home. How can the self-sacrificing hero end up playing the role of the villain? How can a foster parent, who has depleted his own energy through acts of selfless dedication, be viewed like a “strict” or “stubborn” tyrant?

Sometimes upholding family values seems old fashioned.

Sometimes teaching good behavior seems overbearing.

Sometimes being practical seems like being pushy.

Sometimes having high standards seems like being stubborn.

Sometimes wisdom is left unrecognized.

Sometimes the person who provides for everyone seems like he is overbearing when he actually just knows the importance of discipline and responsibility. Matthew’s perspective on Stanley is like the perspective of a student on a teacher. Matthew is a good student, and he is able to recognize the virtues of his stepfather even when other people are not able to recognize them. Stanley obviously is doing what he knows how to do in order to make ends meet and ensure that everyone is provided for… but the difficulty faced by people inside and outside Stanley’s household can become a source of conflict; when life is overwhelming people in the household, all the self-sacrifice in the world is not good enough to please everyone.

Difficult times and hectic days have drained a lot of energy from Stanley and his wife, and it is a shame that their great accomplishments as foster parents can be drowned out sometimes by their stress and nervous tension. Matthew’s perspective enables him to see the situation as it really is; some people really do understand the need for practicality, for proactive effort, and a man who can teach others by his example – even when they do not understand his reasons.

Stanley is a man who has an entire lifetime of experience behind him, a skilled craftsman who has lived powerfully and honestly. Before Matthew met Stanley, Stanley had already accomplished much and contributed to the lives of many people. Now, after seven years as a husband to Matthew’s mother and a guardian of Matthew’s nieces and nephew, “appreciation” is not a strong enough word to express what Matthew feels toward Stanley. Tremendous respect is sometimes called “reverence,” and tremendous gratitude is sometimes expressed in poetic ways – but Stanley already knows that lots of people feel respect and gratitude toward him. Instead, Matthew wants to express understanding:

Matthew knows that Stanley is a misunderstood hero. Events never unfold quite as we intend them, but we find meaning for our struggle when we reflect on the good that it does for others. Heroes don’t need to be understood; they just need opportunities to give of themselves. When the work is done, they rest.

A Biographical Sketch of Mary Arnold:

Powerful Living, No Regrets

Mary Arnold is a retired customer service representative who is enjoying the freedom that comes with life mastery after 72 years.

Mary heard that we were doing a biographical sketch of her, and she responded with sideways humor: “You’re not going to find any dirt on me, and if you do, you can’t prove anything!” she wrote. She was right; as hard as we tried, we could not find any dirt. Digging into the life of Mary Arnold, we found only good news about great accomplishments and contributions to the people and places she has touched, in central Massachusetts and beyond.

Mary is notorious for sticking to her personal principles even when other people have tried to compel her to abandon them. From 1993 to 1997 she worked as a customer service representative for an auto parts company, her boss tried to compel her to lie to a customer about some motor oil. Mary refused, and her boss threatened to fire her. Mary told him that he could fire her if that was his decision, but she would not lie to the customer. She did lose her job because of this incident.

We asked Mary about the incident at the auto parts business, and Mary told us it had a funny conclusion. “They wanted me to teach a new girl how to use my computer and do my job,” she said. “I turned the power off and told my boss to figure it out himself!”

From the perspectives of her children, Mary is source of pride and encouragement. According to Mary’s daughters, her example leaves them no excuse to ever become overwhelmed with life. “Whenever anyone is having a rough time with work or relationships,” says her daughter Tanya, “Our mom is an example of stability and steadiness. We all use her as a reference point.” Perhaps that reflects Mary’s personality, or perhaps it reflects the leadership role that she has played for her children.

From the perspective of Barbra Faucet, Mary’s friend of fourteen years, Mary has an uplifting personality-type – “the kind that makes people feel better after spending time with her.” One of Mary’s co-workers at the hospice, Anthony, is starting med school, and he knows that as a physician he will be coming back to the hospice to play a leadership role. He says Mary will continue to be among his most important teachers no matter how far he goes with his education in medicine.

Mary says she wants to use this mini-biography as an opportunity to remind her family to enjoy the simple things in life, because “life can be dangerous,” and, “it’s just not worth taking chances.” This is the kind of admonition that comes from a person who has seen much of the good and bad that life has to offer. “Appreciating the most meaningful things, we don’t have to take chances,” Mary says. “We can just enjoy one another and take it easy.”

A Perspective on Martin Denesha:

Success Varies According to One’s Values

Until recently, Martin Denesha was a furniture salesman with a large chain of furniture retailers. Now he has moved on to try his hand at cooking. “My heart was never really in it,” he says about furniture sales.

Before changing jobs, Martin made one of his most interesting personal accomplishments – the kind of accomplishment that makes life meaningful. The story took place when Martin was trying to sell a “Lift-Chair” to an elderly lady.

A Lift-Chair is a mechanical chair that helps a person to stand up by raising up and lifting the person onto her feet. Four months ago, before Martin quit his job, he received a phone call from a prospective customer who needed a ride to the furniture store. When Martin arrived at her house, she told him that she had a strict budget of seven hundred dollars to spend on a lift chair, which she badly needed.

Martin knew that his store only sold lift chairs for a thousand dollars or more, but he took her to the store hoping to work out a way to make the sale. Without making enough sales, he would not make very much money, and he could even lose his job. After being shown around the store, the woman told Martin that the expensive lift chairs were just not within her budget and that she was sorry for wasting his time.

Martin knew he could not make the sale. To make matters worse, he knew that a different furniture store a few miles away did offer the “lift” chair within this customer’s budget. Part of Martin’s job was to know what deals were being offered by the competitors, so he was aware that this woman could buy a lift chair with massage, heat, and a lifetime warrantee with her seven hundred dollars.

While driving this customer home, Martin was thinking about this, and about how he probably would never be a very good salesman. Resolving himself to the situation, Martin asked the woman if she wanted to visit a store where she might have better luck. She agreed, and Martin took her to the competition to help her find the perfect chair.

Martin spent a large part of his work day helping this customer when he could have been helping customers that could generate a commission for him and a profit for the store. He knew he was breaking various rules by spending so much time with her, but he did it anyway. Refusing to pressure customers, Martin proved to be less valuable to his employer, and he ultimately lost his job in furniture sales. He sure did help that lady find her “lift” chair, though!

Martin’s children are proud of their father, and they take example from his strong integrity. Other salesmen might have made more sales, and they might have even made six-figure salaries, but Martin made something even better. He made an elderly lady happy, he made his family proud, and he made his work meaningful.

The difference between "yet" and "but"

2011-04-17T14:24:00.003-04:00

I think "but" is usually better. "Yet" is trying too hard, but "but" is just being himself.

Sometimes you really need to use the word yet to show that the next part of the sentence tells something you might not have expected, yet I still think "but" is usually better!

"But" accomplishes almost exactly the same thing. Look at these two sentences:

My friends watch a lot of television, but I prefer to turn off the television so that we all pay attention to one another instead of staring at the screen.
My friends watch a lot of television, yet I prefer to turn off the television so that we all pay attention to one another instead of staring at the screen.

I think the first one sounds a lot better. I would rather just use "but" in a situation like that. "Yet" is trying a little too hard to be cool. I don't trust it.

In some sentences, though, the word "yet" can really help to clarify the idea you are trying to share:

When the television is off, the people in the room will face each other and express themselves, yet we prefer to ignore one another and watch a show.

Use "yet" instead of "but" when you want to emphasize that the next part of the sentence tells something that seems unlikely because of what the first part of the sentence says.

What You Want to BE vs. What you Want to DO

2011-04-04T12:52:00.000-04:00

I figured out that the opposite of veterinary medicine is breeding. I always complain that kids too often are motivated toward a career in vet medicine because they love animals, but alas, they end up snipping balls and administering euthanasia. So, vet medicine is a perfect example of a field that represents what a kid thinks she wants to BE, but not necessarily what she wants to DO every day at work.

But for that kind of person, how about breeding great animals? You let them screw each other. I hear they do most of the work, too; for example, a dog-mom will eat all the afterbirth and umbilical cord, so you don't even have to clean it.

So... animal lovers should breed expensive pets. Maybe. It might be a great, efficient way to make money.

Be Flexible with the Structure of Your Writing.

2011-03-30T21:15:00.002-04:00

Don't write a paper based on an outline. Why set yourself up to go on a scavenger hunt? Following an outline when writing your paper takes away your ability to be spontaneous. It's for people who don't know writing is an art form.

When I write, I begin with a sentence, and then a paragraph takes form as I explain what it means and provide some examples, maybe throw in a quotation, etc. The paragraphs appear on the page like puzzle pieces.

Use cut/paste to rearrange the paragraphs in an excellent order. After you put the paragraphs in an excellent order, you can "glue" them all together by adding nice transitions. You can add a few transitions by following this three-step process:

Sometimes, it is good to begin a paragraph with a sentence that includes an important word or phrase from the previous paragraph.
That sentence above has a lot of information, but it's all you need to know to write good transitions, so I'll repeat it right here:
Sometimes, it is good to begin a paragraph with a sentence that includes an important word or phrase from the previous paragraph.

So, be flexible, and do not make yourself follow an outline. And do not try to write your thesis statement before you write the paper. You can only make an intelligent thesis statement AFTER writing the paper. Writing the paper is the process that educates you about the subject and makes you QUALIFIED to make a thesis statement about it, so write your introduction and thesis statement last, after the whole paper is finished.

Funny Voice Mail Greeting #1:

2011-03-30T18:29:00.000-04:00

“Be advised, the person whose voice you hear is not actually speaking to you as you listen on the other end of the line. I captured the sound of my voice by using digital recording technology, and you can use that same method to say something to me, which I will hear later when I check this message. This is a proactive step I've taken in anticipation of the possibility that people may call me at times when I am not near the phone.”

Biblical Inerrancy

2011-03-27T23:40:00.000-04:00

I think people who believe in biblical inerrancy are not being honest with themselves. Are all translations inerrant? More importantly, is my own interpretation of what I read inerrant? Is my minister's interpretation inerrant? Words are symbols arranged into meaningful patterns, and the transmission of ideas via language is an abstract process. Inerrancy is impossible when words are being used.

Why do we act so polite in public?

2011-03-26T09:42:00.002-04:00

Why do we act so polite in public and so impolite at home with out loved ones? I think it's easy to understand.

We all feel good or bad about ourselves depending on the way we see ourselves reflected in other people's responses to us. The people you live with already know you are an asshole, but the new people you meet in public may come to think of you as an excellent person.

When you meet new people, you can make an impression as that person you envision yourself to be, and you can actually experience yourself as that excellent person.

At home, though, the best you can hope for is to impress people enough for them to say, "Hey, I wonder what's gotten into him... he has not been acting like an asshole so much lately."

Times when lying seems okay:

2011-03-25T15:48:00.002-04:00

When the truth sounds like a ridiculous excuse.

When someone is trying to kill you.

When you get caught in a previous lie and need to weave a sticky web.

When the person you are talking to is being unreasonable (i.e. see #2).

When people are pressuring you to do something

With regard to this last item on the list, an example would be a situation in which your family wants you to practice a particular religion -- the Hatian religion "VouDou," for example. Or if that is a bad example, consider a situation in which your elders believe that the computer is the devil and that if you use it you are the devil. In both examples, people are pressuring you about something. In a perfect world, you would be able to tell them to knock it off, snap out of it. However, in the real world it may cause you a lot of difficulty if you insist on telling unreasonable people the truth. Maybe you are willing to work with them and help them to be reasonable, but you should not be obligated to do so in every damn situation that turns unreasonable.

How to win an argument with a loved one

2010-11-08T12:43:00.006-05:00

-
There is a trick to winning an argument against a loved one: Realize that the person with whom you seem to be arguing is not your real opponent. Your real opponent is a Relationship Demon, an invisible entity that tricks you and your loved ones into destroying one another.

How can you dispel the illusion? Look deeply into the argument that is taking place and see whether you are actually in disagreement about a particular issue. If two intelligent people have different opinions about a particular issue, they should be able to use good communication to weigh the advantages of each option and decide on a course of action. Just be logical, and if you really can't decide then just give in, because you love this person so what the hell. And if it is so important that you cannot give in, then you will have to make a subtle manipulation. But there is never any reason to keep hurting each other with argument.

Usually, what happens is not even that complicated. Most arguments involve two people who think they are disagreeing when they actually are not. Two people comment on a particular topic, and then the Relationship Demon tricks them into thinking the two things they said are mutually exclusive when they actually are not. It's like this:

We go to the park, and I say, "The birds are singing."
You say, "Um, actually, the grass is green."

And neither of us got any validation for what we have said, so we just devolve into total idiots as the demon's spell takes effect:

I say, "What do you mean the birds are not singing?"
And you say, "I don't know where you are getting your information, but what I said is definitely true."
And I say, "Oh my god I can't believe you are so stupid," because I can actually still hear the birds singing, so it is ridiculous for us to even be arguing about this.
-
Relationship demons are very tricky. When they are in the room with you and your significant other, you might agree 80% about something and disagree 20%, but the demon makes it so that you can only be aware of the part that is disagreement.

Here is a trick for winning an argument with a loved one. First, explain to her or him about the relationship demon and how it is playing a trick on you both. Then, use the following three steps:

Try to identify, as many times as possible, the parts of her argument that you can accept and validate.
If you get the opportunity, the greatest thing you can do is admit you were wrong about some aspect of the argument. Do that, and you gain a kind of invincibility against the demon.
Try to express in a sentence what you seem to be disagreeing about, and invite your loved one to correct the sentence if it seems wrong.

After you agree on a sentence that expresses the disagreement, be logical together until the demon is dead. You'll know it is dead when you feel warmth toward one another instead of negative emotions.

Writer's Block

2010-10-22T21:09:00.002-04:00

-
People use the term "writer's block" when they want to complain about not being able to get inspired for a writing project. Actually, it is not specific to writing; a musician, painter, or any other kind of artist can feel blocked.

The energy of inspiration can be felt by the reader if it is present in the paragraph. I don't know how it happens, but it does. I had it when I wrote the first sentence of this paragraph, and if you reread the sentence you can feel it a little. When you have the energy of inspiration, rhythmic sentences spill out of the mind naturally.

"For score and seven years ago..."
"What a marvelous night for a moondance..."
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder..."

Some sentences have that energy. You know when you have them. Write them down. And do not pretend you can force them to come if you feel blocked. Work with your words even though you are blocked, but do not let any uninspired words appear in your final draft.

And never revise inspired words out of your writing project to accommodate a change you are making. The inspired words are the most important.

Another way to infuse a project with inspiration is to make it a collaborative project. Like music played by a band instead of a soloist, collaborative writing compounds the energy it creates. You can send your project to my inspired colleagues at DoctorMyDocument and let us add our own touch of inspiration with the $40 trial.

How to write a thesis sentence.

2010-09-20T22:41:00.007-04:00

-
The thesis sentence is the soul of the document. It is the message you want the reader to remember, your purpose for doing this.

Express your truth, the truth you choose. The thesis statement is the core of the essay, it's essence condensed into a sentence.

One Composition = One Big Idea
The thesis sentence is the sentence that expresses the big idea.
(A great place for the thesis sentence is at the end of the first paragraph)

If you are writing in the form of paragraphs, it is good to put the thesis at the end of the first paragraph, because that is where the reader's attention will linger for a moment before moving on to paragraph two.

The only other thing you need to know: The first sentence of each "body" paragraph of the essay expresses the main idea of its paragraph. Each paragraph has a main idea that is expressed in that first sentence, so it is called a "topic sentence."

Here is an easy way to understand good "structure" for your document:

One Composition = One Big Idea

The thesis sentence is the sentence that expresses the big idea.

(A great place for the thesis sentence is at the end of the first paragraph)

***

One Paragraph = One Smaller Idea

It expresses a smaller idea that helps to explain or verify the thesis statement.

(Each paragraph begins with a "topic sentence" that expresses that idea.)

Here is the secret to writing a good thesis sentence: Let it become "sharper" (more specific and unique) while you write the essay. Keep on tweaking the thesis while you write the body paragraphs.

Usually, it is best to write the thesis statement AFTER you have written some of the body paragraphs, because that is the only way you will know what you are talking about. Each body paragraph starts with a topic sentence that expresses the paragraph's main idea, and...

The thesis sentence at the end of the first paragraph will say something that encompasses all the supporting ideas expressed in those paragraph topic sentences.

Let the Reader Wonder

2010-08-23T12:13:00.005-04:00

Make your message resound in the mind of the reader. How can you get good acoustics in there? It's the same as trying to get a nice sound in any other room: you can improve acoustic conditions by emptying out the room. When 100% of the reader's attention is on one thing, it makes a powerful impression.

Consider this sentence:

The children were hurting my head.

Add another item for the reader to consider or remember, and the attention is divided. It may be necessary to add more words when trying to be informative, but be careful when being informative, because information encumbers the reader:

The children were playing an awkward tune on some flutes they had been given for Christmas, and the shrill noise was hurting my head.

This sentence is more informative, but it is not as fun to read -- not as intriguing. Also, I hope it gets good gas mileage, because it takes a long time to go from point A to point B. This has more power: The children were hurting my head.
So, informative details are not always helpful. Sometimes, it is best to let the reader wonder.

Strategic Writing: Trim away unnecessary words.

2010-08-22T19:31:00.001-04:00

Let's give this sentence a complete makeover:

#1.) Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, was shot by a killer named Boothe.

#2.) Abraham Lincoln was shot by a killer named Boothe.

Sentence #2 is more powerful, because it is not weighed down by unnecessary words. Big, fat, heavy sentences that cannot hold their own weight are very cumbersome to the reader. They are tedious to read and interpret.

Taking this idea a step further, let the reader sometimes do the work of interpreting what you write. Don't spoon feed them and rob them of the opportunity to experience their own insight. For example:

#1.) The sound of the piano will always remind me of my dead little brother, who enjoyed playing piano very much. I like to visit his grave and play a little tune on an electric keyboard.

#2.) The sound of the piano will always remind me of my dead little brother. I like to visit his grave and play a little tune.

Example #2 is not as informative, but it let's the reader achieve a profound state of mind. You want the reader to have a profound state of mind when reading. Let the reader do some of the work. Let her wonder.

Make it your priority that you give the reader images and concepts without a lot of unnecessary detail. Do not waste a single word.

Document Editing: Time Management Rule #1

2010-08-20T11:48:00.002-04:00

The most important time management practice is list-making.

You are already multitasking when you become aware of something more that you are required to do. You cannot do it now, but you also cannot afford to have it on your mind -- because it will take up too much memory in your brain computer and slow your processing speed.

How can you avoid letting your brain computer get knocked offline when an additional task is added?

Step One: Write it on the list that you keep in your pocket.

Step Two: Completely forget about it and get back to what you were doing. In this way, you skillfully fend off interruptions.

Step Three: Do not keep it as a file or email message to yourself. Keep it in your pocket (see step 2)

***Special Warning: Do not let yourself become intimidated by your list of things to do. It's lucky you are even keeping it.

***If you need to delegate some work to professional writers (starts at $40), click here.

Lost List of Things
I write the list of things to do.
Weighing the sum of the whole lot.
I might have missed half of that shit
If I never polluted the pad with my burdens.

Responsibility weighs me down.
But I keep my head down in the work.
I don’t even look at that stupid pad
Until I have to add an entry or see what’s next.

I hate that pad that keeps me okay
With its things to do and its
Condescending ways
of talking to me.

But when I lost it one day,
And I had no idea what things there were to do
Or what was required of me…
I think something snapped sideways in my mind.

Ghostwriting in the Information Age

2010-08-13T15:28:00.003-04:00

-
He lives in a creative haze that smells like incense and coffee,
Delivers a document, somebody pays – in a sense his lifestyle is carefree.
Nevertheless, he is uninsured and preoccupied with projects,
And the I.R.S. is always snooping and trying to take his paychecks,

“Five large and empty” are not real at all.
Our important concerns are fleeting like a dream.
He just turns his attention to the project that pays
And helps that client follow in folly the story of life situations.

The ghostwriter has no need for contracts.
Clients pay each week on a given day.
Nobody ever asks for money back,
But if they do, they can take it and go away.

At the time of this writing, approximately seven million Americans are unemployed. I am not one of them; I make my bread by spewing the sacred word. I don’t know any words that are particularly sacred; all words are sacred, because they are the tools of my trade and the product I provide. With words and my laptop, I can always be okay and have some extra money for family.

If you want to get involved with ghostwriting, we can help! It'll cost you $40 if you want us to assess your skill and provide consultation.

Some projects are very difficult, but not as difficult as submitting the authority of some foolish manager or superior officer. People can just leave me alone. I write documents, and nobody needs to tell me when and how to do that. And if you need a document written or edited, please send it to support@DoctorMyDocument.com

Public Speaking Ninja

2010-08-10T16:21:00.001-04:00

-
Speaking to multiple listeners is like fighting multiple opponents. You don't have to worry about all the opponents, because only one can invade your personal space at a time. Knock out one after another as they trip over each other's feet.

When speaking in front of a group, you can have similar bold confidence. Speaking to one listener is no different from speaking in front of several. Just talk slowly so you can use a rhythm you like, and speak from the belly instead of from the throat. Smile. Look at all the faces like so many interesting fish in a fish tank. Smile. You are a public speaking ninja.

What is the correct way to use a semi-colon?

2010-08-10T14:57:00.007-04:00

Some writers use a dash when they should use a semi-colon, and others do the opposite. There are actually several uses for each. You can Google around to find out all the details, but these two ideas are very useful and easy to remember:

1.) Connecting independent clauses with a semi-colon
A semi-colon is used the way a period is used: to connect independent clauses.
"Jose won the contest. Everyone expected him to win."
"Jose won the contest; everyone expected him to win."

**An independent clause is a group of words that could be a complete sentence if they wanted to be, even though they might choose to be part of a longer sentence. Do not use a dash to connect independent clauses. Use a semi-colon!

2.) A dash works like a comma, but a really big one. A dash is very useful for managing long sentences, especially ones that already contain a few commas -- this sentence being an example -- because using a set of 2 dashes can help you to avoid using lots of confusing commas. So, a dash is like a really big comma that takes itself too seriously.

Another example:
Jose won the contest, an impressive accomplishment, and although he felt good about the victory he could not help thinking about the disappointment his opponent must have felt.
This could be written with dashes:
Jose won the contest -- an impressive accomplishment -- and although he felt good about the victory he could not help thinking about the disappointment his opponent must have felt.
If the sentence needed to be longer, the dashes would be extra helpful for keeping the sentence clear:
Jose won the contest, an impressive accomplishment, and although he felt good about the victory he could not help thinking about the disappointment his opponent must have felt -- because this contest occurs only once every four years.
In this last example, you can see that the dash works just like a comma. It is useful, though, for helping the reader to compartmentalize the many parts of the sentence and think about it in an organized way. Part of being a good writer is the ability to accommodate the reader's quirky attention.

NOTE: This is not a complete explanation for the uses of the dash and semi-colon. There are other uses; for example, a semi-colon is often used to separate items on a list. In this blog, we just wanted to share the insights above and leave you with this easy-to-remember concept:

"A dash works like a comma that takes itself too seriously, and a semi-colon works like a period that does not take itself seriously enough."

DO YOU NEED SOMETHING WRITTEN OR EDITED?

Readers love figuring things out on their own.

2010-07-04T19:10:00.000-04:00

Use brevity.

I value brevity so much that I sometimes say, "Medium regular!" even though I actually prefer milk instead of cream.

Brevity is important, because "less is more" when writing Web content. Less information is more fun. Same as in school. Readers don't really want to hear what I have to say, so I just say something rhythmic, and their minds imagine images. Chicken finger. Readers love figuring things out on their own. Uncooked, Chinese chicken finger dough takes ten minutes to chew.

Every sentence is work for the reader. It's just like toxins in food. You cannot eat without getting toxins, and you cannot write sentences without detracting from the reader's experience. The best way is to not write anything at all and instead leave the reader alone to enjoy bliss in the present moment.

But if you must write something, use brevity.

Doctor My Document Meditation

If you want to practice meditation, you can do it!

Don’t say you don’t have time for meditation. There is a kind of meditation you can practice while doing things. It’s mindfulness practice. Mindfulness practice is meditation while doing things. It’s like multitasking. Read about it in a book by Thich Nhat Hanh, or Google around about various forms of meditation-in-action, such as the Japanese tea ceremony, Zen archery, Iaijutsu, Ikebana (flower arranging) and any of the “do” (i.e. “Way): Shiatsu-do, Kendo, Judo, Karate-do, Shodo -- and likewise, we are developing our own mindfulness art: the “Step Aside" of writing and Document Kung Fu.

Meditative art forms are based on mindfulness practice. It's physical practice done in a meditative way. Jon Kabat-Zinn has written that to look at something in a meditative way is to look at it without judging it. That means the voice of the mind is silent, and 100% of your attention can be directed toward enjoying the clear, hypnotic experience of the present moment.

Doctor My Document philosophy is influenced by the teachers of this kind of meditation-in-action....
Look at Thich Nhat Hanh’s books about mindfulness; look at Eckhart Toll’s The Power of Now; look at the famous book by Eugene Herrigel, Zen in the Art of Archery. Do you know the one I’m talking about? Herrigel writes about his meditation training in Japan, which began with the practice of Zen Archery. Anyway, the point is that meditation can be ongoing. You can meditate while you do things.

The idea is not as esoteric as some people think. It's just good, old-fashioned concentration. Can you feel the material of your shirt on your shoulders right now? Are you aware of the clear, sharp detail in the scenery of your peripheral vision? I am not, but as I become more skilled at meditation in action I will become more mindful of these things.

The practice starts with awareness of your breathing. Breath meditation is something usually done in a seated position. Be aware of the breathing. Be aware when you swallow saliva. Be aware of the stability of your posture, and be aware enough to know whether you are holding unnecessary muscle tension as the result of emotional duress. Be aware of the upright, relaxed posture and the looseness of the elastic lungs.

Bring all your awareness into the body. That means you need to temporarily forget about the crap or your life situation. Now, in mindfulness practice, or meditation-in-action, you simply add one more thing to pay attention to. It's the action. Use a simple action over which you can pour your whole attention. Try meditation while walking first, because that is one of the most profound mindfulness practices. Mindful of the breath, the body, the penetrating sensation of relaxation and energy filling the body like a balloon, relaxing it.

It’s a simple matter of multitasking. Do your work, but keep some attention on balanced posture, profound breathing, and electric relaxation that penetrates all tension, down to the bone.

If you want to practice meditation, you can find the time to do it!

Don’t say you haven't enough time to practice. There is a kind of meditation you can practice while doing things. It’s mindfulness practice. Mindfulness practice is meditation in action. It’s just requires a little multitasking.

Read about it in any book by Thich Nhat Hanh. And another thing to read about is the Japanese tea ceremony, Zen archery, Iaijutsu, Ikebana (flower arranging) and any of the “do” (i.e. “Way) because those kinds of art are based on mindfulness practice. Shiatsu-do, kendo, judo, karate-do, Shodo…and I we are developing our “way” of document doctoring.

The bad vegetarian: DoctorMyDocument's nutrition rant.

2010-06-07T17:29:00.000-04:00

The only meat my person eats is the imitation crabmeat in crab cangoons. My person is a bad vegetarian. He eats cheese, and he would eat eggs if he wanted to, but he doesn’t like eggs. But he does eat eggs sometimes. And he eats salmon sometimes, so I guess crab rangoons are not the only meat.

Anyway, the point is, my person knows better than to eat the shit food. Sneaky people have built big businesses based on selling shit food to people dumb enough to eat it. WATCH OUT!! Seriously. Wake up and smell the capitalism.

Lately, I have been eating a lot of vegetables and fruits in the morning. I drink soy milk and almond milk. I drink a wicked lot of water every day, one ounce of water for every two pounds of bodyweight (Deepak Chopra’s recommendation, I think). So a 200 pound person needs 100 ounces of water every day. It’s good to drink a giant glass of water as soon as you wake up every morning.

I can hardly believe my person has stopped eating meat, and I am not going to press my luck by asking the person to switch to an all raw food diet, or a vegan diet, or anything like that. And also, Andrew Weil says it’s important to eat some fish to get Omega 3 fatty acids, so I eat salmon. I think I can just go to the store and get an omega 3 supplement, though. I don’t need to eat the salmon. My person is a bad vegetarian!

Academic Ninja (book #2): Scholarship & Admission Essay Strategy

"Long-term goals are for wussies. They are goals you believe are impossible in the short term.

A long-term goal does not make you feel a sense of urgency, but a short-term goal needs to be attacked right now. Short-term goals are the mark of a truly motivated person."

Academic Ninja (book #2): Scholarship & Admission Essay Strategy $8.50

SEE A PREVIEW of the book (it's just a screenshot...)

Writing this essay is a powerful exercise in self-analysis. The student is trying to express what is important to her, what she wants to do to contribute to society. This essay is an important milestone in her personal development, because it is necessary for the student to communicate her PLAN for making a big splash in this world.

I don't care if the student gets accepted to her first choice college or even if she goes to college -- and neither should you, and neither should she. College does not guarantee learning, and it does not guarantee a job. However, it provides a lot of opportunity to explore one's interests and values so that the student can be the person she wants to be. That is most important. Students should not be "rejected" by learning institutions; we should not even think that way. No matter what happens during this application process, she can stay focused on her goals and prevail.

And if the student is really determined to attend a particular college, we promise that this short ebook will give her an advantage. How? The kind of essay that makes the reader feel a real desire to provide every opportunity also happens to be the kind of essay that makes the student visualize a future as the kind of person she wants to be. This is profound self-expression.

After getting through this ebook (20-30 pages of reading), the student can experiment with the techniques and improve her writing forever. It only requires a few hours to read, and it only costs $8.50, so please make this small investment to provide her with a meaningful, memorable experience while she prepares to write these college essays and/or scholarship essays.

An opportunity to apply the psychology of language...

2010-05-19T18:23:00.000-04:00

One of the most profound learning experiences comes when it is time for the student to write application essays (i.e. college admission, scholarships, internships, and other programs). They challenge the student to dig deep and express what is most important to her or him.

If you support DoctorMyDocument by purchasing this ebook, you'll be investing in the quality of the student's experience of writing application essays. Writing this essay is a deeply personal experience, we wrote this book to enhance that experience.

Two reasons to visualize the future and make a plan:

By writing about a clear, detailed vision of the future, the student becomes firm in her resolve to make a big splash in this world.
By writing about a clear, detailed vision of the future, the student shows the reader that she is one of those rare, highly motivated difference-makers who knows exactly what she wants to do.

The importance of short-term goals:

Long-term goals are for wussies. They are goals you believe to be impossible in the short term. A long-term goal does not make you feel and sense of urgency, but a short-term goal needs to be attacked right now. A short-term goal is the mark of a truly motivated person.

"Reading Hypnosis" for Smokers-Trying-To-Quit

2010-04-26T21:19:00.000-04:00

Read the first chapter online for free: "Changing Your Mind" (Reading Hypnosis)

Addicted to NOT Smoking:

A Hypnotic Trip into Cigarettelessness

Meditation, suggestions for transformation, spiritual renunciation, reading hypnosis… and there's a ninja! This book provides an introspective trip for smokers-trying-to-quit. Your guide during this strange jaunt toward cigarettelessness is the book's narrator, an emotionally disturbed ninja, and he seems eerily symbolic of something… The ninja can feel comfortable without any ninja face-mask, and without hiding behind clouds of smoke; the reader can feel more comfortable with every page, every paragraph, narrowing the focus in a meditative state of mind.

In addition to entertainment and instruction, this book provides an experience of hypnosis consciousness—while reading—as the body responds to suggestions for relaxation and focus. With entertaining, detailed instruction and poignant suggestions for change, it really is possible to "get addicted to not smoking." Changing your mind is easy when the suggestions, stories, exercises, and instructions in this book send you reeling head-over-heels into hypnosis consciousness.

The smoker's struggle against addiction represents an existential crisis, and
The renunciation of cigarettes can be like a spiritual practice.

Meditation, self-hypnosis, and renunciation practice are related to the ancient, inner disciplines generally represented by the literary genre of meditation/mindfulness. Plenty of books about meditation and mindfulness are already on the market; they are abundant and popular for a good reason (they ease the existential anguish that comes with mortality, helping us to keep our heads together during this weird trip). Likewise, many books have been written for smokers trying to quit. This manuscript is intended to fill a special niche in a giant market by applying the power of meditation/mindfulness literature to the vast market of smokers trying to quit. Addicted to Not Smoking is worth the price because it offers:

· An opportunity for a surreal experience.
· An opportunity to learn about self-hypnosis.
· Funny reading that is relevant to the smoking habit.
· A good gift for smokers trying to quit.

Of the available books for smokers trying to quit, Addicted to Not Smoking will be the one that has serious practices presented in a not-too-serious way. People who continue to smoke even though they want to quit often have a not-too-serious desire to quit,[2] and this manuscript meets them at their own state of mind.
In Barnes & Noble's "addiction recovery" section, one quickly notices the books by Allen Carr: The Easy Way to Stop Smoking. The fact that Carr sold more than seven million copies attests to the potential of this market. (It also comes up first when you search Amazon for quit-smoking books.) This is a classic, and Carr is a hero, but many people would choose Addicted to Not Smoking, instead, for its comedic value.
Deepak Chopra has two books for addiction recovery, but, lucky for me, neither is intended specifically for smokers. In fact, most of the Barnes & Noble books in this section are about addiction recovery in general, and most of the ones that are about specific habits address alcoholism or compulsive eating; only Carr's books and a few others are specifically for smokers.

Quitting Cigarettes:

A Practice of Renunciation

The person wants a cigarette, but you want to awaken as the timeless being. The temporary person wants a cigarette, wants a snack, wants a compliment, wants to be entertained. Even after the person gets something he or she wants, the wanting goes on and on. This temporary person, all caught up in a dream, wants one thing after another until, finally, death. But you are something more. You are the great observer, that mysterious witness. You are the creative being who dances in reality, now here, now there, always changing forms, yet always arising from the same place of stillness. You dive into one dream after another, and in between dreams you awaken as the higher being, gradually and full of wonder.

At first, you identified with the person. You became absorbed in the person's story while you ran around as him or her. Now you are going through a process of dis-identification from the person. You have begun to make a distinction between the higher being and the temporary person. Just as the master transcends by means of an art or trade, just as the mystic transcends by the practice of meditation, just as the faithful believer transcends by offering the self to God, you, too, are starting to transcend the temporary reality of the person and awaken as the higher being. You are discovering the power that comes from putting aside the wants of the person in favor of Creative Action, and you are enabling the higher being to emerge.

An invisible process is going on. The secret knowledge, the knowledge you receive only after faithful practice, is this:

Renunciation practice enables you to remember your timeless self.

The master renounces the person's wanting by becoming absorbed in skillful action. The mystic renounces the person's wanting by keeping still. The faithful believer renounces the person's wanting by performing selfless work. Renunciation of wanting enables them to remember. When you establish your own firm practice of renunciation, you will begin to intuit the truth about your existence: that you have access to a source of unlimited creative power because, at the same time as you are being a person, you also remain a timeless, creative being. In any moment, you can shift your attention to the place of stillness and be the being that is beyond the person, the being that has no beginning or end in time, but instead plays forever in the boundless world of creation.

A spiritual practice is one that cultivates your awareness of your existence independent of the person. Spiritual seekers from every religious discipline have been using renunciation to achieve communion with the higher being. Careful attention given to the spiritual act of renouncing the object of the person's wanting—cigarettes, in your case—changes your experience to that of the higher being: timeless, and not limited to the person. This knowledge of yourself as the higher being, which can be cultivated by any practice of renunciation, is the source of your new power.

If you regard birth as your very beginning and death as some sort of an end, then time seems to be 'going by.' If, instead, you see clearly that you are eternal, then you've never begun and you won't end. Time stays right where it is. Ride the present moment like a surfer on a wave and you can experience one, unending moment. Whether you are moving around or sitting very still, eternity happens now. You don't wait for Heaven; Heaven happens now, or not at all. Eternity is timeless by definition. We are not on a time line drawn in the direction of something called future—we are floating in the one, ongoing moment.

Renunciation Ninja

Here is a story to explain how smoking can get in the way of achieving your full potential. The purpose of the story is to introduce to your person a new disposition toward the smoking habit. Prepare to embrace change as it is applied to the very deepest beliefs held by the person! Permit your person to act according to the true nature of things, letting go all illusions about smoking cigarettes. The story gives your person an alternative to his or her current ideas about smoking. A funny metaphor sticks in the person's memory for a long time, creating change. In this analogy, smoking cigarettes is compared to masturbation, and you are compared to a ninja.

Once upon a time there was a masturbating ninja. He was a skillful ninja who could flip, and roll, and jump high, and kill you with a poisonous dart while hidden up in a nearby tree. His ninja-ing was top-notch, very impressive. Still, the other ninjas never took him seriously because of one compulsive habit that he couldn't seem to get over. Something he did more consistently than anything else.

Consistently? Constantly. Before and after every ninja mission, sometimes even during the missions, he had to pull out his little ninja sword and polish it like hell. Thrashing around on the grass outside his ninja hut, it looked like he was wrestling with himself and losing. Have you ever seen a ninja masturbate? They really get into it. Don't stand too close if you know what's good for you.

The other ninjas called him names and often kicked his ass. They never let him join in any of their ninja games. One day, the masturbating ninja couldn't take it anymore. He made a sacred ninja vow not to take it out or even touch it under the cloth of his ninja costume from four o'clock Thursday afternoon until ten o'clock the following morning. None of the other ninjas even applauded his effort. They were very unsupportive.

When ten o'clock came around, the masturbating ninja had fulfilled his vow. He was about to celebrate by yanking out his shit and having a real climactic battle with special effects and subtitles and everything when, all of a sudden, his ninja village was attacked by hundreds of enemy ninjas from an opposing ninja clan. The masturbating ninja quickly removed his ninja nipple clamps and sprang to his feet with a spectacular ninja jump. He left the video playing in his VCR and ran outside to help protect the village.

They were outnumbered and unprepared, and it seemed as if the enemy ninjas would surely defeat them. One thing our hero had going for him, however, was that he was experiencing a tremendous surplus of energy and mental focus. As he fought his way through the crowd, he realized that his skill and strength had doubled over night because he had not depleted it all over his ninja hut because of that compulsion, that habit. His energy had built up so much that he felt invincible. Soon, he was fighting the attackers all by himself while his exhausted ninja friends watched in amazement. He punched right through armor, caught bullets in his teeth, and beat off the enemies with quick, frantic movements.

The masturbating ninja had saved the day. He had held back from indulgence and become the most powerful ninja of them all. His heightened focus was far more rewarding than the immediate gratification he had sought in the past, so he started to make a practice of it. His strongest urges to indulge and seek immediate gratification yielded the sharpest, most focused attention when he abstained.

See? So, begin this process the way you would begin a rigorous workout, and know that you are building up your personal power. You'll be exercising that inner sense of clarity and purpose called "will power," building up energy, weaning your body off nicotine, and cleaning out your lungs, all at the same time.

The most important thing is to have a feeling of taking action instead of trying to hold back from the act of smoking a cigarette. Even though quitting will improve your life and delay your death, your previous attempts to quit smoking have been unsuccessful, because your state of mind changes every day, every minute. You approach death gradually over a period of time, but your cigarette cravings occur in this moment. What you need is a positive activity that you can apply to the moment—every time you think you want a cigarette.

Addicted to Not Smoking introduces a practice called "smoke-strike," with which you can begin to conquer this habit in the correct frame of mind. Rather than fighting with yourself and using self-discipline, you will strengthen your spirit and gradually affect change in the mind until, one day very soon, you discover that you've risen above the whole shit.

"Adult Day Care" should be called by a different name.

2010-03-08T20:32:00.001-05:00

Excuse me, can anyone explain why we use the term “adult day care” to refer to a service we provide for the wise elders of our society? I don’t care how demented or forgetful I become; the little rug rats I am taking care of now had better not ever use the word “day care” on me when they have to return the favor. If anybody actually gave enough of a crap, they would use a different term. Use any other term. You don’t have to call it anything at all, really. But do not use the term "day care." What the hell.

Calling them by a different name is the decent thing to do, and it is also practical. Google around about "adult day care," and you will find that it is common for seniors to feel that using such a facility is an insult to their dignity.

The point of creating adult day care centers is to make it possible for informal caregivers (usually family) to keep their jobs and leave the seniors in the care of professionals. Some focus on socialization, while others have rigorous medical care. Some are dedicated specifically to sufferers of Alzheimer's Disease. With all these functions, it is possible to use a different term to express their role in the lives of our eldest citizens.

Online Tutor: Writing Lessons for Kids

2010-02-14T14:09:00.000-05:00

Don't we want the next generation of Americans to be excellent writers?

Whenever your child has an opportunity to write something, you tell her or him everything you like about it. That is what we do at DoctorMyDocument. Students send us their school papers, and we tell them everything that is great about the way they did it.

And for every TWO great qualities we see in the child's writing gives us the opportunity to teach them something. Why? Because after giving two compliments we have earned the right to teach them something.

Students do NOT like to submit a paper and have the teacher scribble all over it in red ink. Writing is art. Good teachers know this, but only the best teachers really know how to communicate with the child in a way that improves writing. It's like this:

Bad teachers give constructive criticism without taking the time to give compliments.
Good teachers often leave writing along, because they know it is art.
The best teachers give compliments TWICE AS OFTEN as they give constructive criticism, but this process takes a lot of time.

The result is that most students never learn to write well. They might learn grammar, but they probably will not learn the finer points of efficiency, leading the reader's attention, doing strategic paragraph breaks, and adhering to their PURPOSE with vicious resolve.

Even the best teachers are not necessarily good writers, and even if they are they do not often have enough time to teach the finer points in school. That is why DoctorMyDocument offers Strategic Writing Correspondence Lessons. Only the most eccentric parents would take time to arrange such lessons and pay the $25, but it is absolutely worth the effort.

If anyone pays for a correspondence lesson and does not feel that the student learned anything worthwhile, we absolutely will do a refund. But the truth is that we will correspond with the student 2-3 times during each lesson, and this gives us the opportunity to give several pointers that they will remember forever.

Why will they remember the skills we teach? Because the Strategic Writing Correspondence Lesson is a novel experience, the kind of strange new experience that creates little moments never to be forgotten.

Karl Marx noticed something: In capitalist system throughout history, more and more of the wealth will snowball in the hands of the few until almost all of the wealth is concentrated on a tiny portion of the population. That is what is happening in America. People who understand capitalism and socialism know that neither is perfect. Right now, the Obama Administration is trying to find the perfect balance that will bring about the greatest possible good for the greatest number of people.

The purpose of government is to enable people to give up a small amount of freedom in order to gain a large amount of protection. It also helps them to pool their resources in various other ways and to look out for one another. Conservatives call for self-reliance and free enterprise, and they are wise to preserve these important American values. But as people people who understand capitalism, they also know that an even playing field never stays even for long. Part of the role of government is to protect people from injustices inherent in capitalism. That means the wealthy are going to have to pull the weight of the poor to some extent.

But President Obama is not Robin Hood. He cannot just take from the rich and give the poor. He has to move to the middle and reason with the rich and their advocates in congress. Most likely, he wants to reason with the rich because he is skillful with language. Masters of language want opportunities to reason with people and make real progress.

In order to be progressive, President Obama needs to make progress toward correcting social injustices associated with exploitation of the poor in a capitalist system. The wealthy people who represent large corporations may be very willing to help poor people, but they also need to stay vigorous and competitive in the dynamic 21st century business world. In order to make progress, Obama needs to compromise with the wealthy and with the representatives of wealthy organizations. After all, we are asking them to spend a higher percentage of their money than people in lower tax brackets, and the wealthy do not even use many of the social services they are helping to fund.

So, there are two voices to consider: the voice of the rich, and the voice of the rest of us.

The voice of the rest of us: One voice comes from the hard working American that tries to raise a family while making a lower-to-middle class living each year. These people want the government to spend money on the things that matter to them -- making health care affordable, ceasing American imperialism, creating jobs, growing the economy so the children will have good lives, saving the environment so the children will have places to live. These people want their tax money to be spent on the things that are important to them. Also, if they understand Keynesian economics, they also hope see the government spend money in order to compensate for a lack of public spending during a recession, and they want the government to make good investments, just like rich people do.

The voice of the rich: Another voice comes from the people who have plenty of money and do not need to "work" in the same way other people work. Instead, they invest their money in various endeavors, because they know you can make a lot of money if you invest correctly. These people also don't have to worry about whether they will be able to afford their health care. They have entirely different interests. For example, while working Americans may feel compassion for immigrants, even undocumented immigrants, the rich tend to focus on securing the borders because more poor Americans to take care of with expensive social services. They do not need to worry about whether public schools are adequately funded, because they don't send their kids to public schools. They do not need to worry about whether law enforcement in some districts is adequately funded, because they live in places where law enforcement in indeed adequately funded.

The rich care about things that can actually hurt them. What can hurt the rich? Other than taxes, nothing short of foreign invasion can hurt them. And that is why some rich people prefer not to spend money on social services, but they certainly are willing to spend money on maintaining a stellar military.

So why does a progressive president need to move to the middle? It's because a lot of pressure is being applied -- not only the visible pressure, but also the invisible pressure. Visible pressure is applied by the republicans, who advocate for the rich. Invisible pressure is also applied, because the rich have enough money to get what they want in clandestine ways. If the president wants to get the rich to spend money on improving the lives of the poor, he needs to accommodate some of their interests. That means compromising with the GOP. Without compromise, no progress would be made at all. Americans are sick of having legislators that cannot get anything done. As a master of language, President Obama is becoming a master of compromise.

What if I wrote a BORING essay?

2010-01-20T23:14:00.011-05:00

This is a technique for after you have written a boring essay: Use your main idea as a “jumping off” point.

This is a technique for writing paragraphs that can pierce a person’s mental defenses against information overload. Even if people choose to read something, they often are unreceptive to it. And as we discuss in the “speed reading” section of the Academic Ninja training course, people consciously choose how slowly and attentively they read. Your goal as a writer is to give the reader something so useful that they feel compelled to slow down and pay attention.

Everyone is filtering out most stimuli in this “age of information,” so you have to write something really useful in order to get them to be receptive. To be useful, your writing has to go beyond the surface of ideas and take the reader deep into thought. No statements-of-the-obvious are allowed. No truisms are allowed (A truism is a kind of statement-of-the-obvious, a vague expression of some idea everyone already knows). Do not include any sentences with boring content, cliché, or anything that sounds like you are just trying to fill space.

The writing needs to be refined. That is why I recommend writing your ideas and then using the whole draft as a “jumping off” point. Do not use this technique after you have written during moments of inspiration that cause the material to be rhythmic and infused with energy. Only use it with writing that lacks inspiration. If you had to write something during moments without inspiration, you can refine it by following these steps:

Condense what you have written, taking out all words and sentences that are not useful, and when the essay is reduced and simplified as much as possible, reduce and simplify it even more.
When you have condensed several paragraphs into one good one, use that paragraph as a “jumping off” point by looking at its meaning – its message to the reader – and writing about that concept.

Inspiration is a tricky wave to catch and keep your balance on, but you can take inspiration from the main idea that underlies your boring essay. You wrote a boring essay because you wrote at a time when you were not inspired. Talk when in a bad state of mind, and the listener feels it; write when in a bad state of mind, and the reader feels it.

But if you use this main idea, this theme, as a jumping off point, and if you find a moment of inspiration... you will soon have an energized essay full of those sacred sayings that come from that inspired state of mind.

A Perspective on Stanley Davis:

Stanley’s Stepson Expresses Appreciation & Understanding

Stanley Davis of North Brookfield, Massachusetts

A man who has played the role of provider in the lives of many people

The life of a person cannot be summed up in a few pages. We can have a glimpse, though, from a particular perspective. In this biographical sketch, Matthew Reynolds shares his perspective on the truth expressed through Stanley Davis’s way of life, because Matthew wants Stanley to know about the impression he has made.

Seven years have passed since the day Matthew was elated to learn that Stanley had proposed to his mother. As an honest man who has experienced hard work, ranging from the military to entrepreneurship, Stanley is a stepfather of whom any stepson would feel proud. Matthew also felt relieved, because his mother had recently lost both her parents, and she needed a source of strength and inspiration.

Circumstances have indeed been difficult. In the years since Matthew met Stanley and became his stepson, Stanley has made tremendous sacrifices to take care of three young grandchildren. When Stanley married Matthew’s mother, he did not know that they would be taking custody of three children who had suffered abuse and neglect. For five years, Stanley and Matthew’s mother put aside their own needs to help the children heal. These grandparents even saw their marriage suffer at times because of unavoidable stress associated with raising young children.

Sometimes upholding family values seems old fashioned.

Sometimes teaching good behavior seems overbearing.

Sometimes being practical seems like being pushy.

Sometimes having high standards seems like being stubborn.

Sometimes wisdom is left unrecognized.

Difficult times and hectic days have drained a lot of energy from Stanley and his wife, and it is a shame that their great accomplishments as foster parents can be drowned out sometimes by their stress and nervous tension. Matthew’s perspective enables him to see the situation as it really is: the foster grandparents are tired, because have given freely of themselves.

A Perspective on Mary Arnold...

A Biographical Sketch of Mary Arnold:

Powerful Living, No Regrets

Mary Arnold is a retired customer service representative who is enjoying the freedom that comes with life mastery after 69 years.

From the perspectives of her children, Mary is a source of pride and encouragement. According to Mary’s daughters, her example leaves them no excuse to ever become overwhelmed with life. “Whenever anyone is having a rough time with work or relationships,” says her daughter Jennifer, “Our mom is an example of stability and steadiness. We all use her as a reference point.” Perhaps that reflects Mary’s personality, or perhaps it reflects the leadership role that she has played for her children.

From the perspective of Barbra Faucet, Mary’s friend of fourteen years, Mary has an uplifting personality-type – “the kind that makes people feel better after spending time with her.” Anthony, one of Mary’s co-workers at the hospice she volunteers at three days a week, is starting medical school, and he knows that as a physician he will be coming back to the hospice to play a leadership role. He says Mary will continue to be among his most important teachers no matter how far he goes with his education in medicine.
