The EuStillness Technique: Where Does It Come From and How Does It Work? (Part 11) How to Find Eufeeling

Since you have been enjoying Eufeeling during your daily activities have you noticed that while you are aware of Eufeeling you are not worried about paying the bills, that problem at work, or smoothing ruffled feathers in your relationship? Again become aware of Eufeeling for a few seconds, let it go and then watch to see what happens. Now notice that you feel whole, somehow complete. You really need for nothing. You see, your life is already mending itself. And...

Why Can’t I Love? (Part II)

As goes the species so goes the individual. Homo sapiens, that’s us, are in the second phase of the three phase transformational process to full potential. Maslow offered his hierarchy of needs for the individual. The collective human race is made of, you guessed it, individuals. As it turns out we have been trudging slowly over the eons towards the realization of universal love. We haven’t gotten there as a species but we are close, very close. According to George...

Why Can’t I Love? (Part I)

Have you ever felt limited in love? Have you ever felt that your love is locked away, unable to find a way into the hearts of others? You know you have more love to give but it just doesn’t seem to get to where it is needed. There is a simple reason for that and a simpler solution. Love is a creative process. It is creation. It unites darkened souls in the light of harmony and joy. Each of us...

Dr. Frank J. Kinslow: What Is the Meaning of Life? Nothing Gives Meaning to Life

Except in the narrowest sense, the question, “What is the meaning of life?” is ludicrous. That is unless you can clearly define “life.” Is life biological? Social, spiritual, political? Is it all of these? None of these? You see? When we finally define life for ourselves, does our definition work for others? I say yes in the broadest sense. But ultimately, I have to say “no.” The more precisely we define life, the more uniquely it molds to our own...

Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave…

All life in an ocean is directly dependent on the conditions of the water. A cold water fish cannot thrive in tropical waters just as a positive thought cannot thrive in a negative environment. It does not matter how many friends the cold water fish takes along with him into tropical waters he still will not prosper. Now, if the cold water fish were practicing positive thinking he would try and convince himself that the warm water was actually cold....

Positive Thinking Is a Form of Denial

In our last blog we said your thoughts are like the great variety of life forms that inhabit the ocean. Let’s step out of our ocean analogy for a moment and find out why positive thinking, as it is presently practiced, does not work. We tend to think that negative and positive thoughts are two different conditions of the same perception just like hot and cold are two different conditions of water. If hot water were considered negative and cold...

Can Positive Thinking Create Negative Thoughts? (Part II)

We feel our best, are most energetic, productive, and loving when we are emotionally balanced. Emotional balance means positive and negative emotions in proper proportion. Seen this way there is really no “negative” emotion, only imbalance in number and intensity between what we call negative and positive. It is somehow vital that we not only recognize negative thought but accept it as a dynamic component of emotional health. Generally we wage war on negative emotions or we run away from...

Can Positive Thinking Create Negative Thoughts? (Part I)

I have long felt that we Americans (US) are overly preoccupied with creating a positive mental attitude. In fact in some circles like business and athletics a positive mental attitude (PMA) is a means to the ultimate performance in that profession. For those living alternative lifestyles, especially those involved in alternative healing methods, PMA can be the actual foundation upon which their lives are built. I have always thought this to be psychologically unhealthy. And now it seems that others...

The Tail is Wagging the Dog

How can you end problems and find personal inner peace? Will changing your behavior results in inner peace? Asking “why” you behave in a certain way will only lead to more “whys.” Answering “why” will have you chasing your tail. You will think you are getting somewhere but in the end you will have only exhausted yourself, or at the very least become quite dizzy. Even if you catch your tail, what have you caught? The tail is attached to...

It Is What It Is (Part II)

To ask why things are the way they are reflects a desire to see beyond your slice of life, and know the primal mind and ultimate makeup of the universe. Somehow we feel that if we can understand the cosmic mind we will then understand our own. From there it should be a short leap to fixing the wrongs of our life and then we can live in peace and harmony. While a noble undertaking it is completely fruitless and...
