Introduction All descriptions of the movements on this page are the sole property and work of John Thomas Kooz. Originally this page was simply a list of all the music that appeared in audio blog snippets (as intros or outros usually) around the Validate Your Life Network, but I have extended it so that it [...] In his abode, Lord Byron kept: “Eight enormous dogs, three monkeys, five cats, an eagle, a crow, and a falcon” http://neuroticpoets.com/byron/ That was in addition to 10 bloody horses! All those pets (minus the horses) roamed freely throughout the house! Obviously Byron liked animals and the companionship and the ability to observe natural fauna in [...] “Because if you are like most people, then like most people, you don’t know you’re like most people. Science has given us a lot of facts about the average person, and one of hte most reliable of these facts is that hte average person doesnt’ see herself [or himself] as average. Most studnets see themselves [...] Something spectacular occurred to me after a few hours of meticulous frustration. I was touching up a portion of my material_items_all list and got stuck on a hygiene component. Specifically a hygiene-travel items. I looked up exactly what was the TSA aviation regulation for non-flammable fluids and, appealing to a precise side of me, was [...] This is easily one of the most important posts (out of over 500) that I have ever written and recorded. As someone who has suffered from chronic indecision and the consequential doubt and incapacitation caused by indecision, this is one of my most personally helpful posts, but anyone will benefit from this. Even if you [...] Disclaimer: I felt it necessary to include this Disclaimer. If you consider yourself to have a modicum of faith in any religion, there exists a high degree of certainty (almost a guarantee) that this and other “Atheism For The Win” posts will either decrease your faith or make you angry. That is not my intention. [...] Excerpt from a quasi-coaching session of sorts >For the first time, the lack of passion between us weighs down on me. This sounds like good self self-awareness and some Emotional Intelligence. I can relate, too. I have had this one woman in my life. Dated. Functional. Practical. Almost a survival relationship. Often people have relationships [...] What’s in store for you in this post: factoids about the boat that transported English Separatists to “America” in the early 17th century details about the inventors of major forms of temperature measurement some interesting rants of ideological evolution finally, the original intention, a mnemonically-helpful presentation of a mathematical formula enabling smooth conversion between the [...] “In the Middle Ages, the time served apprentice went off as a journeyman to gain experience with a number of masters, and then settled down under one master he got on with. Here he would produce his masterpiece – literally, the piece of work that proved he was a master. This recognised by the Guild, [...] The Ways I work. One of the ways I’ve noticed I do things is by deciding to do something else and then randomly changing it AND scheduling something ahead of time. This is complex, but it amazingly works. First off, I was plagued by scheduling things on a calendar and then 90% of the time [...] PIVOT is yet another VYL-Created technique. It’s very catchy, considerably more complex than SPS (rightfully so given intention of SPS!), and cognitively caters to how the brain works, ensuring that the neo-cortex quickly picks up and absorbs the functionality of this technique. In other words, this technique has been designed to be “appetizing” for [...] The Meditative Gadget While many of his techniques and superbly incomparable skills of deduction and observation were certainly accomplished with invisible tools, it was obvious that Sherlock Holmes relaxed and sharpened his razor-sharp mind while playing the violin. Watson knew that Holmes was in a meditative trance of higher clearer, cleaner thinking when practicing his [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110823_emotionsnotfunnyekman.mp3] 45:32 Edify on the go! I was going to start by writing that “emotions are funny things”, something trivial, nuanced, minimizing the impact of emotions. But emotions are not funny things. They’re very serious and trivializing them would be like scoffing at an oncoming car while you’re in the middle of the rooad. [...] [audio: http://www.validateyourlife.com/vylab/vylab_20110816_wholisticdoctor.mp3] Edify on the go! The aim and fulfilment of discovering name, identity, and home is a journey only done by the heroic. I identify myself as a preventive wholistic doctor (some people would call me a productivity coach, however, and, indeed, I am a Certified Professional Coach). Back to the preventic wholistic [...] Listen to this post in audio blog format!

He who enjoys doing and enjoys what he has done is happy. – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, German Philosopher, Playwright and Author I finally understood the significance of “enjoy your [...] Edify on the Go!

There exist two types of learning: learning to understand more of what you don’t know learning that increases awareness of what you don’t know, making you aware of [...] Edify on the go! Listen here [audio: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1265478/vylab_20110602_evodreams.mp3] or download the audio recording of this post! In order to evolve our everyday life, which may be bland, denied, subtly suppressed or subdued, or mediocrity inadequate in some way, into an extraordinary exhilaration of our passions, pursuits and personal truths is precisely what [...] When we create a capacity for knowing ourselves –how we operate and function — we create sincerity about who we really are, and this self-knowledge allows us to apply ourselves with greater vehemence. Science-fiction writer, Douglas Adams points out that we find our images of what we call evil things outside ourselves, in creatures that [...] I have been working on, collecting, archiving, nit-picking and amending this growing list of british words and phrases I love for many years. All that data was in a simple text file, and just recently decided to throw it in a mindmap (much clearer to visually access the information) and share the british phrases I [...] There are a lot of films these days about altered time, altered reality, and altered identity. Most of the “new genre”, “new theme” films are entering that territory. Regardless of the quality of the film (many of these I have not and never will see, but they are examples): Inception (2010)– entering dreams Source code [...] “Download and Cognitively Install” code by listening to hours and hours of audiobooks on a topic (pua, code, math, neuroscience, nautical astronautics) installing a cognitive operating system. It’s like my brain is a hard drive, I just install what I want on it. Occasionally reformat it (wipe it) and then install more things. I CERTAINLY do have a thing with “pleasures”. I only herald sophisticated pleasures but I don’t even call them nor think of them as pleasures, because they aren’t; they’re evolutions. Strands of evolutions. Photo-reading great books is an evolution. Playing, appreciating, and listening to classical music is an evolution. Gaming is an evolution. Coding in [...] Introduction I have experimented with polyphaisc, and modified sleep patterns for years. Am interested in structuring that. The longest I’ve stayed up consistently was 85 hours in October 2009. I was doing something quasi-dangerous so that necessitated focus which kept me alert, which kept me up. But I usually just stay up and then [...] Recipe for Trust: Take consistency. Then stir in love and mix in value. Add zeal for flavor. (Note: Kittens help with this recipe!) – John Thomas “Kooz” Trust and consistency are inter-related. They both imply reliable re-occurrence or repetition of behavior, qualities, characteristics, or events. A street sight displays consistency, but not trust. When, after [...] The sympathetic, autonomic, peripheral nervous system is the bodily system in charge of generating the flight/fight response. It will activate if something arises that is not in your immediate survival. If you believe strongly enough in something, say learning how to ride a bike. And the only thing you do is think about that activity [...] |
