In many ways, the lockdown has dislodged us from a familiar sense of ourselves and the rhythms of our usual activities and relationships. Now, looming in front of us, are the difficult contradictions posed by the challenges of how to enter the now very different and strange external world again. Is it safe to go to dinner yet? Should we wear masks? Can we shake hands or hug people we haven’t seen for months? What do politics have to do with all this anyway? A New Normal?
We are becoming aware we can’t go back to how things were. We have to find a way to accept and survive and thrive in this new normal. The pressure of having to adjust to a panoply of unknowns is the very definition of stress. To relieve this stress there will be the temptation to return to old escape behaviors (anger, frustration, arguments, addiction), abusing ourselves and others (guilt, shame, blame, fear, anxiety,), or hiding (depression, withdrawal, despair). In this webinar, we will explore some more positive alternatives. We have some new tools for harnessing the energy of stress and finding opportunities for growth and positive change in the future. These tools include entering the present moment through deep relaxation and meditative techniques, awakening Self-awareness and inner wisdom, envisioning our desired future, and creating that future through guided imagery.
We are approaching a social and personal catastrophe unlike any before: a half-million unnecessary deaths from a virus, armed riots in our streets, an accelerating climate crisis, and the potential collapse of the greatest democracy the world has ever known! I wish this were an exaggeration, but in fact, this is only a partial list. And all of it is completely preventable, if only we could use the incredible intelligence dormant within our minds. Instead, our lives have been doubly hijacked: once by the too-rapid development of civilization, and now by the craven inventions of “attention engineers.” Civilization presents us with stressors that are producing and exacerbating all our illnesses and dysfunctions. Attention engineers have learned to use techniques of mass hypnosis to capture the stress response and use it to drive our behavior for financial and political gain. The result is our insecurity, frustration, social discord, and political polarization. If you feel scared and helpless, that’s what they want you to feel! It is a lie! You are not helpless, and fear is not helpful. It is simply time to upgrade your mental operating system, take charge of your mind and your life, and participate in restoring sanity to our world.
It is time to learn how to turn this Titanic around, and it starts with learning to use the Mind-Tools that can wrest control from your monkey mind and unleash the power of your prefrontal cortex. In today’s Webinar, we will examine the process (propaganda) our overlords and their minions have used to produce this “learned helplessness.” We will then learn to use our inner mental tools to foment an internal revolution, find internal peace, and regain control over our minds.
It is time to come out of denial and get real! Take a serious look at the world we live in and the suffering all around and within us. What the Hell happened? Our lives have been doubly hijacked, first by our 500,000-year-old monkey brain that reacts with illness-producing stress to the very different modern world. On top of that our lives have been hijacked by our cultural overlords and their thousands of “attention engineers” using mass hypnotic techniques to steal our peace of mind and sell us products and candidates. They hijacked our happiness by making us believe that happiness comes from having “more,” hijacked our prosperity by guiding us into debt, and our health by giving us a sick care system instead of a healthcare system. They hijacked our patriotism with propaganda and fear and hijacked our thinking by feeding us the Old Paradigm.
In this webinar, you will learn, experientially, just how this was accomplished. You will learn a New Paradigm which can enable you to take control of your own life by thinking differently and using certain simple mind tools.

More than 90% of everything we do is by habit. Most of these habitual behaviors are positive – but often there are some behaviors that hold us back and even make us sick. Those habits may have to do with smoking, overeating, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, gambling, losing one’s temper, or any behavior that is repeated in spite of the fact it is not helping. Learn how to become more aware of your habits, addictions, and other behaviors that do not serve you and how you can understand the emotions at their root. Here, you will find tips and tools you can use to make the changes you want to make.
