HUMANITAS MAXIMUS ARTICLES

You should read the fine print which follows first...

*Note to my Readers About Viewing Posts: This blog is formatted in such a manner as to cut off certain of the larger graphics that appear in the postings -- especially when those postings have been excerpted from wider-screen or higher-resolution media. Please be patient with me while I work within Google's somewhat stifling Blogger framework. If some graphics are cut off, you might just left-click on them to see if you can get an original source screen with the full graphic shown -- regrettably, this only works some of the time. In the event that any of the wording is cut off, you might change your screen magnification down from 100% to 75%. But don't worry -- the copy very seldom gets cut off. In some cases, if the article has been re-posted from another source (and you sadly can almost never tell you might try clicking on the article title, to get redirected to the original source posting, which will generally be full-sized and easy to read. No matter what...Please don't run out to the local drugstore in the rain and buy some of those overpriced non-prescription "reading glasses" that will make you look like either 1) a Senator in a subcommittee proceeding, or like 2) a substitute teacher from the early 1060's.

And now, intrepid explorers...TO INFINITY! AND BEYOND!

EVOLUTION OF THE SELF - Taking Intelligent Steps Toward Self-Mastery and Transcendence

Dear Friends:


The picture to the right has just been placed there to capture your attention. It represents a tremendous oversimplification of the concept of evolution, even in the most basic sense. [I also receive royalties every time this picture is printed because I posed as the model for the second chap from the right. I suspect that my neighbor, Myron, posed as the model for the chap (or chimp?) to the extreme left. His knuckles are always bruised]. But I must be serious.


This is not an article about Darwinian Theory, Intelligent Design, or Creationism. It is neither theological, nor philosophical -- it is about the practical steps each of us, as an individual, may choose to take to improve ourselves, and to improve the quality and length of our lives. It relates to longevity, cognitive enhancement, sensorial development, achievement, and happiness. My stance is that we are obligated, by a moral imperative as well as by selfish motivations, to grow, to advance and to evolve. My hope is that a significant number of evolved individuals can influence the evolution of other individuals, and ultimately, of the Collective Consciousness. I ask, respectfully, that you keep an open mind and that you let your natural intellectual curiousity (such as is your birthright) run free.

There are several aspects of our very being which can be altered and improved volitionally and simply through proper utilization of science and technology which exist now. I offer you a tantalizing glimpse into some of these possibilities with the hope that you will hunger to learn more, to experiment more, and to incite you to graduate into an even greater Being than your self-limiting beliefs ever let you think possible:

  • LONGEVITY -- By reducing your average daily caloric intake, consistently engaging in certain special physical and intellectual exercises, and by supplementing your diet with certain nutrients, it is possible to extend your life expectancy by 20% to 30%. For example, instead of living to the age of 80, you may well live to the age of 96 or older. Imagine the benefits of having all of that additional time...time to experience and learn, time to develop wisdom, time to achieve grander perspective...time to accomplish more than you had ever thought possible.

  • HEALTH and QUALITY OF LIFE -- By following the protocols referred to in the preceding section, and by adding certain entrainment and training techniques to fine-tune your responses to stress and your metabolic functioning, you will not only live a longer life, but a healthier and more enjoyable one. With the proper combination of nutrients, exercises and coaching, you can enjoy increasing strength and coordination well into the last years of your life. Aging is a sydrome comprised of diseases -- it can be slowed down, and to a certain extent, its effects reversed!

  • COGNITIVE ENHANCEMENT -- Your mind is a muscle. Your body is capable of learning, as well. The mind and the body, working in concert make your life what it is. With a combination of training and entrainment modalities, including hypnotherapy, NLP (Neurolinguistic Programming), RET (Rapid Eye Technology), energizing postures, creative visualization, positive affirmations, Scripting, deliberate breathing, thinking exercises (mental calisthenics...*Braintenance*), and supplementation with nootropic drugs (drugs which increase mental acuity, clarity, memory and recall, associative intelligence, analytic and problem-solving skills, n-dimensional visualization, creativity, focus, sensorial amplification and refinement, emotional mastery, brain function integration and cooperation), you can upscale your intelligence by every measurement currently known. Your mind is limitless. Most non-physiological limitations are learned behaviors which entrap us. We can re-program ourselves for increased intelligence, creativity and enjoyment.

I will endeavor to discuss each of these in greater detail in the articles to follow this one, and I sincerely hope that you will join me.
