Edify on the go! Time: I’m planning to read a bit more on Beckham as someone who, for lack of better words, has “wired himself efficiently”. He has healthy habits and I admire his polished style and his OCD organization and he’s ONE good looking man and he plays soccer; Beckham is frickin’ awesome. I heard a story about him being the only car that pulled over and helped someone on the side of the road. The man, I’ll say it again, has wired himself well. He has good beliefs. [...]
“the tuesday post”
Top Quality Posts, usually the best posts on the VYL Network. Branching off into a more evolved version of the 2008 “Tuesday News Blip” (see archives in this category), this continues that tradition of posting an interesting, eclectic, and/or didactic post on Tuesdays, but now almost always with an accompanying audio blog. The new Tuesday Post articles are archived here.
The Skinny on Compact Fluorescent Bulbs (CFL Bulbs)
Edify on the Go 5:27 First off, this site does an amazing job of explaining in detail the electricity details behind CFLs. In a nutshell, the benefits are: -1/5 the energy used. 15 watt CFL = the same light output of a 60 watt old-fashioned bulb. -Less pollution. Using 1/5 energy ensures a smaller carbon footprint, which means less energy is caused by the polluting power plants. -Less heat. Much less excessive heat is given off by CLF bulbs. I recall living a truly abominably hellish summer in a basement [...]
Emotions are Not Funny Things: Ekman and Serious Alignment
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. Emotions effect our relationships, our appearance, our interactions, our perceptions, our mood, our energy levels, our habits and patterns, and seriously a very large number of things in life. So emotions are NOT “funny things”. In away, [...]
The 3-Hour Pattern Absolute Rule: Ultimate Health “Awake” Technique
Edify on the Go! I’ve tried to write this post 3 times but had technical difficulties and have had to undergo three drafts. Fortunately, that also gave me three shots at revisions! Here’s what I’ve surmised. The principle: Eat nothing until three hours (or longer) after waking up. It’s incredibly simple but catalyzes profoundly uplifting physiological, mental, cognitive, productive, digestive, health, and awareness consequences. Timing – Focusing in nutrition (or not engaging nutrition, or planning the later part of the day’s nutrition) for the first three hours of the day [...]
Want to Spot Hypnosis? Learn the Seven Physiological Indicators of Trance
Edify on the go! Running-Time 27:09 Or download this to listen at your own convenience. I can’t begin to describe how invaluable this list is for anything related to hypnosis and trance. This list will totally transform any hypnotic work you do. If you don’t do hypnotic work this will change how you view things because people are in trances all the times (watching the telly, driving, reading books) that are not necessarily harmful, but DO share these seven physiological indicators. If you found this list, congrats. This list of [...]
Want to Maximize Health and Productivity? Stay on Your Feet!
Edify on the go with this audio download! This is one of the Top 5 Productivity Posts! To some, this may sound repulsively unpleasant, insane, too demanding or have myriad other reasons for why that is impossible. I am at a standing desk writing this, literally looking down on this old cramped, antiquated, squashed desk. The idea of getting work done on such a cramped thing is frightening and unquestionably preposterous. While at the standing desk, I get much more done, work flies, things are enjoyable, and life and work [...]
Completely Transform How You Communicate with BAGEL
Listen to this post in audio blog format! or feel free to download this post for later listening at your convenience. Note: Bonus material included in the audio blog not included in the post! About 21 hours went into researching, writing, editing, and recording some of this post, so it’s something of which I’m quite proud. BAGEL is an acrostick acronym for remembering all that you can keep tabs on when interacting with someone. BAGEL is an advanced mnemonic because its acronym abbreviates some of the more advanced NLP concepts, [...]
Space Exploration Minus the Dunderheads
Edify on the Go! 39:45 This audio blog/podcast takes a few minutes to pick up auditory momentum, but when it does, it’s one of my favourite recordings. Download this podcast to edify at a later time! Note: This post was released on July 9, 2011. Considerably well after the designated July 5 designated Tuesday Post time period. However, there was a large-scale power outage where I’ve been and that, interfering with work, postponed the post until now. Cheers. DISCLAIMER: I feel this post was a bit harsh (and scathing) on [...]

Maximize Productivity with Less Options and OWEB
Less options is better with Some things. Having less options is better and increases productivity in many ways. Just having that “one” outlet partitions off your focus so it goes to that area increasing channeled improvement. For awhile I had multiple computer systems. It was a headache whenever I needed to tweak, edit, or do writing projects (on book(s), on blogs and the like) or accomplish a task, or edit films, or anything because I had to make a choice about which system it would be on. People always talk [...]
Healthy Living on Earth with Japan Tsunami, New Zealand Quakes
Been watching footage of the tsunami and quake of Japan in March, 2011 and then the Christchurch, New Zealand earthquake only a month prior in February, 2011. Seeing civilization just completely mowed over by Nature like that is an illuminating testament to Nature. We don’t own physics, plate tectonics, nor the earth. We can control it at times, but these cataclysmic events (especially the footage of the Japanese tsunami just mutilating in avalanching torrents man-made structures like they were toothpicks) really served a reminder to how we ARE (be it [...]
The Surprising Large Picture of What and Whom You Read!
Bloody hell I can’t wait until Derren Brown’s next book. Kindle version (I don’t buy paper-based books anymore…long story but a good one — saves trees, saves space, saves storage room ,saves shipping costs, easier to organize, etc) comes out oct. 14. Seems like ages away!! I listen and relisten to the audio version (and have thoroughly read nad hey! may reread! good idea) his Tricks of hte Mind. witty, funny as heck, but most importantlyt insightful. I developed my frickin’ “spiritual scientific level of life” (atheism) from reading that [...]
Richard Feynman — Unquestionably a Hero.
Richard Feynman was one of the greatest physicists ever. The most provocative and admirable quality of Richard Phillips Feynman (okay more than one) is: The fearlessness, humor, and outspokenness of his voice (when he speaks he just speaks his mind and he’s usually thought about what he says a great deal, so he just projects, barks it out and delivers truthful and illuminating utterances. When he detailed how the O-Ring on the Challenger Shuttle lost resilience below 0° celcius at the Presidential Rogers Commission of 1986, he just dunked [...]
