1. Welcome to Issue #134 (March 16, 2004) of MIND CHATTER
A VERY RELUCTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
I'm sorry to say that I'm going to eliminate the first of the month Interim Report issue of Mind Chatter, which means that from this point there will be one issue, on the 16th of each month.
Unfortunately, I just have too many commitments, and in order to keep them I have to cut back on something. At this point, my main time commitment is to all of you taking The Life Principles Integration Process online courses. Every two
weeks, I have to prepare an extensive lesson (these two monthly lessons take me half of each month to prepare). Plus, because those taking these courses have unlimited email access to me, I'm spending a lot of time on this correspondence.
When I add the creation of new Life Principles home study modules (The Resourceful Belief Builder, The Values Clarifier, The Resistance Dissolver, and so on), plus my various speaking engagements, other writing projects, and my many
administrative duties at Centerpointe, I'm just swamped.
I enjoy communicating with you a lot, but I just don't have enough hours in the day, and the extra issue of Mind Chatter, unfortunately, just has to go.
So please enjoy the mid-month issue each month and accept my apologies for not having the time to write both issues for you anymore.
Finally, if you have feedback for me about Mind Chatter, please do let me know. I want Mind Chatter to be a valuable part of your life, and your feedback helps me do that.
Be well.
Bill Harris, Director

6. Something important for everyone who wants a close, loving, conscious relationship...
In January I invited you to participate in a relationship tele-seminar by internationally known relationship experts Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks--at absolutely no charge. The response was (literally) overwhelming.
Over 7,000 people signed up! People were disappointedly turned away when the call became full, and though we scrambled to add more telephone lines, some people could not listen to the seminar that night.
So everyone could hear what turned out to be an amazing seminar, we repeated it (twice) the next evening, and twice on the following Saturday.
If you didn't hear this free relationship seminar, I've arranged for it to be repeated again. Here, then, is the original announcement. At the bottom, click on the link to register for the free teleseminar...
To thank you for being a member of the Centerpointe family, I've arranged for you to participate--at no charge--in a fantastic telephone seminar with internationally known relationship experts Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks.
This telephone seminar does not cost anything .
Gay and Kathlyn and I have become very good friends over the last year, and because their new book, Lasting Love (Rodale Publishers), is hitting the bookstores this month, I convinced Gay to do a free tele-seminar for Mind Chatter
subscribers about the new information they've discovered about how to create close, loving relationships that really work. (Yes, it is possible.)
You get first crack at hearing this new material before they appear on all the major talk shows in the coming months. And, of course, in this seminar, they'll go into much more detail than they ever could on any talk show.
Two kinds of people will greatly benefit from this free seminar:
1) Those who want to make their current relationship into a GREAT relationship...
2) Those who aren't in a relationship right now--or even those who may have "given up" on relationships--but really would like to to find Mr. or Ms. Right and create a relationship that really does have all the love, intimacy, and
companionship you've always wanted.
This is NOT the same old "Men are from Mars" stuff. This is practical, cutting edge information that the Hendricks have successfully taught to thousands of singles and couples who wanted to stop the merry-go-round of conflict, fighting,
and lack of closeness, and create relationships the way you really want them to be.
Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks have appeared on Oprah twice, they've been on Good Morning America, Larry King, and many other television and radio programs, and they've published many best-selling books, including the classic, Conscious
Loving.
Gay and Kathlyn are super teachers, and in this seminar they will explain some key concepts that really will make a huge difference in your current relationship (even if you're the only one in the relationship who uses them).
As you probably know by now, I'm not interested in fluff. What I teach is real rubber-meets-the-road practical information that really works and really creates fundamental positive change.
Gay and Kathlyn teach in the same way I do--their stuff isn't just a lot of "feel-good" material, but rather real-life, kitchen-tested principles and techniques that really will make a difference in your life. And, the way they teach is a
lot of fun, too, so I know you'll enjoy yourself.
Again, this seminar is 100% "no charge" to you, so there's no reason to not participate if you're even remotely interested in creating a close, loving relationship.
Here's how to participate:
1. Go to
http://www.therelationshipsolution.com/teleseminar
2. Type in your name and email address.
3. Click "submit."
You'll then receive the telephone number to call, along with the passcode to key in once you're connected to the call, by email.
Then, all you have to do is call in about 2 minutes before the seminar and enjoy listening to two of the world's top relationship experts in a private, no-cost seminar I've arrange for them to teach, especially for you.
The phone bridge they're using does limit the number of people who can participate, so please register right away to avoid missing this free relationship seminar.
Here's the link again to sign up:
http://www.therelationshipsolution.com/teleseminar
Remember, this great seminar by Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks doesn't cost you anything--it's my gift to you. Enjoy! And please feel free to send the link to all your friends.

The following is only for those who want to learn how to create exactly what they want in life:
I assume that's you...
Unless you're new to Mind Chatter, you know that close to a year ago I started a series of teleconference lessons--three courses, of 12 calls each--collectively called The Life Principles Integration Process. Now over 2000 people are
participating in these courses, and people in these courses are experiencing huge positive changes.
These courses are now available in a very easy to use on-line form.
Here's the idea: You are creating your internal and external reality, though you're probably doing it, for the most part, unconsciously and automatically. This means that part of the time you will get what you want, and part of the time
you won't, but it's not always clear why that happens.
If, however, you can learn to operate the creative part of you consciously and intentionally, you really can create whatever you want.
No one is more amazed than I am that after years of struggle, I figured out how to do this for myself. Not only that, I can teach you how you can do it, too. In fact, I GUARANTEE that I can teach you how to do it, if you're willing to
learn.
This is NOT the same old stuff you've read about in all those books about "manifesting your dreams" and so on and so forth. I promise that if you take these courses, you will have a huge "ah-ha" about your life and how to create what you
want, both inside and out.
You can take the courses on your computer, either by listening via audio-streaming, or by downloading the calls to listen to later or to burn them onto a CD. As in the live calls, I am making myself personally available, by email, to
answer any questions you have about anything during the course.
And, you do not need to already be a participant in The Holosync Solution to take these courses, by the way.
And, I've made these course really inexpensive. If I had to teach this in person, in a seminar or retreat, it would cost a few thousand dollars. Instead, it's a small fraction of that--and I've created a free preview lesson, so you can
find out what it's about with no risk.
Here are a few emails I've received from people in the course:
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!!!!!! The first lesson was worth the price of this course, and more. I have heard and read similar material before, but somehow you manage to present it so that it gets through in a
powerful way. I simply can't tell you how grateful I am to you-and you're plenty funny!
--Jean M.
*
Wow, you are not kidding when you say you really want to help. I knew that already though. Thank you so much. You, your program, and your teachings have changed my life completely-much needed.
--Lee
*
You really know your stuff! Razor sharp.
--Andrew
*
Wow! I'm impressed by all the time and energy you are putting into this course. Thank you!
--Ellen
*
I absolutely love your impeccable program. You've summed up just about everything that I've heard from many other tapes and books, but they did not hand you the formula for the answers the way in which you did. I feel that there are many
thousands of beings who are truly grateful for all that you have gone through to bring about such change for so many. May we all find the joy and blessings that you have come to live. Bright Blessings,
--Janet G.
*
So please go listen to the FREE preview lesson, which is available now for you to listen to online. This free lesson contains some great stuff, so please go listen to it.

I'd love to get an email from you in a few weeks telling me how much YOU have benefited!
Be well.

7. Feature Article
Your Journey to the Wild Divine
by Bill Harris, Director
If you've been with Centerpointe for any length of time, you know that I'm on a mission. It's a mission that started with my own journey, but (amazingly) has grown to include the personal journeys of over 150,000 other people spread all
over the world.
I set out in my late teenage years to figure out why I was so unhappy, and what I could do about it. I thought I would figure it all out in a few months, and then get on with life.
Boy was I naive!
That was thirty-five years ago, and during that time I tried just about everything in an attempt to get better. Some of it helped, most of it didn't. Some of it didn't work because it was baloney, and some of it didn't work because while I
was doing it, without knowing it, I was sabotaging myself. But because I was doggedly persistent and very much willing to pay the price to figure things out--no matter what that price turned out to be--I finally came out the other side
happy, peaceful, and (most amazing of all) able to create whatever I wanted in life. Holosync, for me, turned out to be the key, and I am on a mission to help others use this amazing tool to improve their lives, too.
Believe me, no one has been more surprised by all of this than I am.
I ended up helping other people, first by sharing Holosync, and later by sharing knowledge and principles about the process of personal and spiritual growth, which I turned out to be pretty good at communicating and teaching. As a result,
I now have a pretty clear picture of what the personal and spiritual growth journey is all about, and I feel pretty fortunate to be able to share what I know with you.
You've all heard that we each create our own reality, but to most people this is just a slogan. It isn't at all clear to most people how this "creation" actually happens. After a lot of searching it occurred to me that the reason most
people have no idea how this process works is that the process is happening unconsciously, out of your awareness. Because what you do inside is invisible to you, it looks as if what happens outside is the deciding factor--that your outer
circumstances create what happens for you. This, however, is not the case (thankfully), and I believe that once you learn to be conscious of this creative process, and can observe it in action, you can master it.
The goal, then, is to make that process conscious, and then to look for the places where you can influence it. Then, you can make whatever changes you need to make in order to create whatever you want in life.
This all seems very mysterious and metaphysical before you understand how it works, but once you understand, it actually becomes very easy to create the life you want.
I've created two tools that help you do that. The first is Holosync, which, in a nutshell, makes you more consciously aware of who you are, where you fit in to the universe, and how you create your reality. It does a lot of other positive
things for you (raises your threshold for stress, gets rid of dysfunctional feelings and behaviors, greatly increases your clarity of mind, improves your health, and so on) but all of these are ultimately related to increased conscious
awareness.
As you use Holosync and you become more consciously aware, a significant side benefit is that you begin see how you are creating your life, you see the ways you are creating outcomes you don't want, and you almost automatically begin to
recreate your life in a better way.
The second tool is my Life Principles Integration Process courses, where I take apart the entire process you use to create your internal and external reality, showing you where you are inadvertently and automatically creating outcomes you
don't want, and showing you how you can consciously and intentionally create what you DO want.
These two tools fit together in a very elegant way. If you use Holosync alone, you'll be able to see how you create your reality, but with the extra help from what you learn in the Life Principles Integration Process, you'll see it much,
and much faster. If you do the LPIP alone, you'll also get there, but some of the changes you need to make involve deeply unconscious parts of you, and though you can change those parts using what I teach in the LPIP, these changes are
much easier with the conscious awareness you gain by using Holosync.
I've just gone the long way around to get to the point of telling you about another tool you can add to the two above. It's not my tool, but I think it's so cool that I just had to tell you about it.
Here's how I found out about this tool, and what it does:
When I wrote Thresholds of the Mind a couple of years ago, one of the people who endorsed the book was Hollywood producer Steven Simon, who produced Somewhere in Time, starring Jane Seymour and Christopher Reeve, and What Dreams May Come,
starring Robin Williams and Cuba Gooding. Steven and I became friends, and about a year ago he invited me to a gathering at the home of Jean Houston, one of the best-known authors and thinkers in the personal growth and transpersonal
psychology field. Neale Donald Walsh, author of the Conversations With God books was also there, along Steven Simon and several other heavy-hitters in the personal growth world and, in some cases, their business advisors.
We were there as a brain-trust to help a very remarkable man, Kurt Smith, launch an amazing new computer game called The Journey To Wild Divine.
Initially, I thought, "What in the heck is this all about? A game? I'm really not into games. I like real life."
But once I tried it, I was so blown away that I decided that anyone interested in personal and spiritual growth really ought to know about this game, which is why I'm writing this to you today.
While The Wild Divine is a computer game, but it's not like any computer came you've ever seen.
Why? Because you operate it with your mind! You make things happen in the game by changing your internal state. The game is, in effect, a biofeedback device, and in using it, you learn how to control of your state of mind. You learn how to
intentionally access states including joy, hope, excitement, relaxation, meditation, and patience, just to mention a few. The game gives you direct feedback (biofeedback) as you play it, and as you continue to play you get better and
better at consciously creating the internal states you want, when you want them. (I'll explain how the game knows what state you're experiencing in just a moment.)
Since these internal states are what ultimately lead to your external results in life, being able to create these internal states at will allows you, literally, to do anything in life.
Before I tell you more about the game itself, here's what happened the first time I used it, which led me to think that I should tell you about it.
First, please don't take what I'm going to say next as tooting my own horn. I firmly believe that any long-time Holosync user could do what I was able to do with this game (and I'd like you to help me prove that this is true).
After our brainstorming discussion, everyone at the gathering tried the game. Because these were some of the heavyweights in personal and spiritual growth, everyone did pretty well in regulating their state and in completing the various
tasks in the game. I was the last one to try the game, and by that time most of the others were off together in another room, so inventor Kurt Smith and I were by ourselves.
The Wild Divine has some amazing graphics, which remind me of the grand and beautiful panoramic vistas in the Lord of the Rings movies. The game is a kind of mythic heroic journey through a Middle Earth-like mythic realm, where you have
various tasks to perform along the way. You perform these tasks and pass certain tests, however, by controlling your state of mind.
The first task Kurt gave me was to draw the boat I would use in the journey toward me across a body of water. I don't remember what state of mind was required to move the boat, but within a few seconds, I had the boat docked in front of
me. Kurt was a bit surprised that I could move the boat so quickly. Actually, so was I.
Next, I had to travel in the boat to some incredible looking pagodas floating on a glistening lake. To do so I had to create yet another state of mind. Again, to my amazement (and relief) I was easily and quickly able to do it.
Because I was doing so well, Kurt began giving me more difficult tasks. One at a time, I was able to perform them, quickly and easily, by accessing the required state. I wasn't quite sure exactly how I was going to create each state, but
somehow, by intending to do so, I created each of them. I landed a hot air balloon on a landing pad. I opened a chest that contained some tools I would later use in the game (I honestly don't remember all the details, as this was some time
ago).
Finally, Kurt said that he wanted me to try one of the really difficult tasks--a task that I believe he said had taken him thirty hours of practice to master. Within a few seconds, I was in the process of making that one happen, too! Then,
about half way through that task, we had a little computer glitch and as a result we ended up stopping. Kurt, however, was pretty amazed that I could do these tasks so easily.
Actually, so was I. In fact, I'll confess that when we all sat down to try the game, I felt a bit on the spot, since I was supposed to be the big mediation expert. I thought "Jeez, what if I'm not so good at this? I'm supposed to be, but
if I'm not, I'm going to look pretty dumb." I was relieved and surprised at how well I did, and went away with even more confidence that mediating with Holosync really does create the increased mental and emotional flexibility and
resiliency that allows you to take control of your mind and your internal state.
I want to emphasize that what happened was not because there's something special about me. I'm convinced that any Holosync user would be better at this game than the average person, and that the more deeply you go into the program, the
more you'll develop the qualities that allow you to excel at this game--and at life. What I like about The Wild Divine is that it gives you instant feedback on the progress you're making with Holosync, as well as providing additional
ongoing training for your mind you use it.
And, best of all, the game is a ton of fun to play. It's complex, creative, and challenging, and you get a great charge and a real sense of satisfaction in performing the various game tasks. It's very cool to see that you really can
control your mind--and that you really can improve at doing so.
I don't even like games, and I thought it was very cool and very fun.
Jean Houston said that "The Journey to Wild Divine is the journey of you, the heroic soul, as you travel from an outmoded existence to an enhanced and creative life," which I think sums it up pretty well. She also said that, as a result of
playing, "you'll find that you have a natural access to capacities--visual, verbal, kinesthetic, interpersonal, subjective, intuitive, logical-mathematical...Capacities that improve the physical use of the body and that enhance memory,
writing, creative expression, and problem solving."
For those of you not familiar with the process, biofeedback uses electronic equipment to monitor your internal physiological state and give you feedback to help you learn how to control these states.
In The Wild Divine, the biofeedback component comes through sensors you wear on three of your fingers. These sensors measure your Skin Conductance Level (SCL) and Heart Rate Variability (HRV). SCL measures sweat gland activity, which
indicates changes in autonomic nervous system activation and is associated with increased energy, which could be positive (excitement) or negative (nervousness).
HRV is the difference in heart rate from one heartbeat to the next. From heart beat to heart beat, no two intervals are exactly the same, and you can't really measure this just by taking your pulse. The greater the variability, the better.
In fact, when HRV is constant (in other words, when the interval between heart beats is clock-like in its regularity), it can be a sign of an impending heart attack! Greater HRV, then, is a healthy goal, and people who exhibit greater HRV
tend to live longer and enjoy life more.
Examining HRV is the fastest growing area in biofeedback, and the well-known Institute of HeartMath is one of many research groups studying the effects of greater HRV.
Interestingly, increased HRV is connected with brain synchronization (which, as you know, is also one of the most significant effects of Holosync), and also with a synchronization of the brain with the rhythms of the heart. Playing The
Wild Divine increases HRV, and my guess is that we would find that using Holosync does, too, which is one reason why I was so instantly good at playing it (and why, as a Holosync user, you probably will be, too).
To succeed in the game, as in life, players have to learn certain principles, which require "an allowing attitude"--a kind of "passive will". This is what I frequently refer to as trusting your unconscious mind rather than doing something
with a lot of conscious thinking and analyzing. Every highly conscious person I've ever known has had the ability to trust their unconscious mind to tell them what to do and how to do it. Most people who have trouble with life keep trying
to navigate through life using their conscious mind, with lots of thinking and analyzing. So another benefit of The Wild Divine is that it develops your ability to trust your unconscious mind, and believe me, your unconscious mind knows
how to do a lot of the things you want to do in life, but haven't figured out how to do yet.
As players learn to control their internal state, they often experience an internal shift--an "ah-ha" experience in which they realize that they just "know" how to do things. This was, in fact, the very state I was in as I tried the game
for the first time, which is probably why I was able to do so well.
So, if you're interested in greater mind-body integration, a greater ability to trust and utilize your unconscious mind, greater awareness of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual states, and having a fun time playing with your mind
and your internal state, I think this is a really cool way to develop these abilities. And, it's a lot of fun, too. I highly suggest that you get this game and begin using it. And please, after you've used the game, do let me know what
your experience is. Maybe all of us Holosync users can become the Olympic Wild Divine Team, beating all comers!

8. Glowing Testimonials and Letters
**
Hi Bill:
A million trillion billion gizillion thanks for all that you have done for me, with holosync and this.
I am currently in purification level 2, a lot has improved since we meet 4 years ago in the Oregon retreat.
I am sure now that I can achieve anything I want. But how great can my life be I mean how big can my goals be, I mean I'm 23 years old, everything is okay and I do mean everything!!! but if the sky is the limit how pretty and big can my
sky be and how do I define my limit!!!.
If everything is possible is there anything impossible? How realistic can a goal be to someone who believes in miracles?
There are a lot of areas in my life I want to improve, and getting the know-how from you is of great help, but I can't help wondering; kinda like forest gump: if I reached this far how far could I reach?
Knowing all this is awesome and having the clarity of mind that 4 years and 20 days of holosync give makes it quite easy I could say effortless.
I know you are amazing in helping people, please help me reach my full potential which I know I'm still far from reaching.
Also if a believe is something we think its true, and truth is only experienced beyond the mind then how can truth be experienced then?
Receive a warm hug charged with love and positive feelings from me,and may the great blessings that are being bestowed on me be greatly multiplied on you.
Your truly grateful friend

hello bill!...
my name is Chad. I just wanted to introduce myself, and let you know that I am a relatively recent addition to the holosync family. I completed awakening prologue a few weeks ago, and I just began using awakening level 1. I wanted to
express some of my feelings about the program and explain what it has meant to me in my life...
I recently turned 24 y/o. I was sexually abused by my father's best friend at the age of 8. My father was also very abusive both physically and emotionally, along with sexual undertones. Much of my life has been lived in fear and chaos,
and at the age of 21 I began to search for an answer to end the madness that was my life. I began going to therapy, was placed on various medications, and tried several self-help type programs. I did this for a continuous 2 years without
much, if any, relief of symptoms. At that point, I was emotionally, physically, spiritually depleted and I gave up on life. I was existing...just barely. I was living with my mother, which was hugely unhealthy for me, not going to school,
not working. I didn't have any friends. I left the house only out of necessity. Any sort of human interaction was deeply frightening to me. I gave up. I didn't think there was any hope left... I decided to give the possibility of healing
and living a healthy functional life one last try. I did a search on the internet and came across centerpointe and the holosync solution. I requested the introductory materials to be sent to me. Once I received them, I couldn't believe all
the claims that were being made. I had heard many of the same things from other programs, though something felt different with your program. I decided that I had nothing to lose, and I ordered the program...
The program was nothing like I was expecting, but was exactly what I needed. I was truly amazed by the results. I am one of those people that saw some results, but had A LOT of emotional upheaval with it. It was scary at first, but it made
me realize that SOMETHING was happening! After a couple of months the upheaval subsided.
I am beginning the growth and evolution process again with this new level, and I am excited to think that with each day I am getting closer to the man that I am authentically. I know that it is going to be a long journey, with many
difficulties and pains to sort through...but I now have that which I thought I never would. HOPE.
I hope to meet you one day at one of the retreats! thank you for your dedication and desire to help others to live up to their full potential...
warm regards,
Chad

[Something for all you dream interpretation fans...]
Last night I had a dream that clarified perfectly the process I am going through using AWAKENING PROLOGUE by Bill Harris. I have been using the tapes sporadically for several months but only got serious about them after some miracles
occurred. One miracle is that for nine years I have been treated for hypothyroidism and been on very high doses of medication. I had a vision that my thyroid was healed so I had some laboratory tests done and sure enough I was able to drop
my medications. My doctor said she had never known this to occur before in another patient. I have been serious about the tapes for about two weeks now and have experienced some mood swings and very active dreaming.Most of the dreams were
equivalent of mentally venting. Last night I took control and ordered a spiritually uplifting dream that I would remember and understand. In the dream I had moved to a new home (change of consciousness) and I was hanging up clothes
(organizing ideas and attitudes) in my closet (where you store ideas and attitudes). My sister (in relation to dreamer) Laurie (victory) was watching me (observing). The clothes rod was extra long and I had a lot of clothes. When the rod
got overloaded (overwhelmed) it broke down. My sister Laurie came over looked and started to laugh (victory is observing with a light hearted attitude). I immediately realized I relaxed and became aware of the birds singing outside my
windows and a gentle breeze blowing. It was a beautiful sunny day (surrounded by spirit). I then saw that Laurie had hung up all my clothes along the sides of the closet, leaving the center clear and uncluttered (put aside ideas and
attitudes and at the center of you is a clear uncluttered space). I then hugged Laurie and thanked her for showing me my negativity (victory is yours if you observe others around you and realize they are showing you parts of yourself and
your attitudes). I hope this letter helps others to realize that things can happen very quickly with this program even when you are not taking it serious. Your attitudes cannot stop the good from happening if you just listen to the
tapes.
With sincere gratitude
Rev. Dr. N.

[Please allow yourself to get past a somewhat gory first paragraph in this very interesting letter. And, consider selling your motorcycle.]
My name is Richard Boswell. I had been very successful in my life's endeavors until, on the 14th day of February I was hit by an uninsured drunk driver. I was traveling south on a wide six lane road on a nice Yamaha 500 midnight special
motorcycle. The other driver was northbound in the south bound center lane going approximately 60 mph. He hit me head on and I and my bike flew three hundred and fifty feet stopping abruptly with a collision with a steel light pole. I
slid down the pole still clinging to the bike. When the bike crashed to the ground with me under it, the gasoline tank ruptured and gasoline spilled onto me and exploded. I pulled off my shirt and threw it to the side. I then slid out
from under the burning bike and rolled over three times into the right land of the highway. In the center of the right lane I looked down at my left leg, it was compound fractured and the artery was pumping blood out onto the ground. My
stomach was also ruptured and I could see my liver and part of my intestines spilled out across my lap. I felt weak, very weak. I looked up and saw an ambulance pulling over. The paramedics looked at me and one of them said to the other;
"This guy is dead." I shook my head in the negative and they started an IV. they wrapped my leg and stopped the bleeding artery. I then passed out.
In the Saint Marks Hospital I was taken immediately into surgery. After two hours the doctor went out to the lobby and told my wife that I had died. I remember my breathing and heart stopping. I lay there thinking the doctor would restart
me. I heard him say; "This man is dead. I'll go tell his wife." I tried to talk but couldn't. I tried to move but couldn't I lay there knowing I was dead.
The doctor was Dennis Gordon, at the Saint Marks hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah. He told me that I was dead for almost eleven minutes. I lost thirteen percent of my right frontal lobe, two percent of the right parietal lobe and the
olfactory together with some other brain damage they later discovered. I stayed in the hospital for almost two years. I had thirty nine major surgeries and eleven minor surgeries. I was released before Christmas and allowed to go home.
My wife divorced me shortly thereafter. Three plus years later Dr. Dennis More in the St. George Hospital amputated the leg. I had never been able to walk on it and it hung on me like an albatross. It gangrened and was amputated.
Before my injury I had worked as a Federal Agent for the Department of Justice. I had graduated from college in one year and one semester. I was the valedictorian of my high school and had an I.Q of 148. After the amputation I went to a
college to see if I could take the course for high school teaching. I could do that in my wheel chair. (My hip was destroyed and I couldn't use a prosthetic.) They gave me an I.Q test any my score had fallen to 113. I had a very hard
time correlating facts and even though I could remember my old behavior I couldn't duplicate it. I had many blank spaces in my memory and my short term memory was also terrible.
Scanning the net one evening I found the centerpoint site. I read that the Holsync process could create corpus Colosseum tissue. Knowing that much of that tissue in my brain had died, I saved for one year until I had the money to purchase
the first level of the program.
I have since had three remarkable things happen to me. First my I.Q has risen to 153, which is higher than it has ever been. Second my short term memory has radically improved. Third I have regained both my correlative ability and my
emotional and artistic senses. All of these elements can easily be demonstrated by both the cat and pet scans. I have photos of cerebral activity before and after taking the Holosync program.
At first I felt no results and believed that the program didn't work for me. But after approximately seven months, I began to notice that I could correlate much better. That I now had much better rational ability and that my emotional
sensitivity had returned.
I would like to thank you for the program. I took a pet scan test four weeks ago at a hospital in Spokane and was very surprised to see a very large blue and red area of the frontal lobes and significant activity in the connecting tissue
of the two hemispheres.
Thank you. I know that without your research and program, I would still be in a wheel chair and much worse, mentally disabled.
P.S I walk well now with a prosthetic.
Sincerely
Richard B.

9. BOOK REVIEW
By Marc Gilson
The Top 101 Experts
That Help Us Improve Our Lives
(downloadable e-book)
By David Riklan

This month I'm reviewing a terrific resource e-book by David Riklan of Self Improvement Online, Inc. www.selfgrowth.com
"The Top 101 Experts That Help Us Improve Our Lives" is a compendium of information on the leading self-improvement figures in the world today. Easy-to-use and comprehensive, Riklan's book is an encyclopedic reference book containing brief
biographical sketches, product information, key thoughts and beliefs, book excerpts, and more, on the world's top self-improvement authorities.
You can find a wealth of facts on people like:
Anthony Robbins
Carlos Casteneda
Marianne Williamson
Robert Fulghum
Ram Dass
Eckhart Tolle
Dan Millman
Jack Canfield
Paramahansa Yogananda
Byron Katie
....and, well, 91 others!
Why did David Riklan feel compelled to write a book about self-improvement experts? Riklan acknowledges this question in the informative introduction:
"We based the premise of this book around the concept of 'modeling.' We believe that if you want something, anything, the best way to get it is to find somebody else who already has it and figure out how they got it. It doesn't matter what
that is; it could be anything from:
A Better Job
Higher Level of Education
A Great Tennis Game
More Fulfilling Relationships
A Happy Outlook on Life
Inner Peace"
As the saying goes, "it's nice to have choices," and Riklan provides us with many choices among the premier personal growth leaders today. Whether you're focused on improving your relationships, career, finances, creativity, spiritual
awareness, or any other aspect of your life.
The book organizes experts according to six general categories: empowerment, spirituality, business, relationships, personal finance, and professional & academic skills. Then each expert is ranked, interestingly, in order of popularity
according to online search engine results. So, for Dr. Phil McGraw fans, you'll note that he is listed first because his name was the most frequently searched name on the internet during Riklan's analysis.
Of course no ranking system would perfectly reflect everyone's opinions. But the search engine methodology is arguably as valid as any other way, although perhaps a ranking is really superfluous since the information about expert number 89
could be as life-changing as that of expert number 5. Either way, the ranking does provide some insight into what, for the moment, is of popular interest in the field of personal development.
Riklan devotes attention to explaining the process by which an expert was added to the list and ranked. This, of course, leaves the potential for some truly wonderful teachers and leaders to be left off the list. But by and large, Riklan's
list is quite thorough, and the range of expertise represented in the book is impressive.
There are a number of ways to use the book. It can be read straight-through for an overview of ideas and personalities in personal growth. But if you're a fact-hound, you'll really appreciate the ease by which you can access specific
pieces of information. What are Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People"? What are John C. Maxwell's "21 Indispensable Qualities"? What was that great quote by Carlos Castaneda about freedom? What is the website for Caroline
Myss? What books has Robert Fulghum written? Finding information is simple and fast, with a logical format and clear organization for each entry.
In addition to the body of the book, there is a series of appendices providing information about other valuable self improvement companies and books (including an entry for Centerpointe and Bill Harris).
David Riklan's book is a treasure-trove of information, one you'll return to again and again. (Be sure to check the link below for David's great bonus offers if you elect to order the book.)
