The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.

- Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields, What the River Knows, 1990

It seems to me that each of us – with our individual composition, needs and life experience – is a one-person research project.

Each of us dabbles in a range of on-going experiments. My parents are engaged in the great pharmaceutical experiment (I’m not up for that one).

I’m involved with the great natural health and metaphysical healing experiments (as well as the massive mobile phone trial) and time will tell what my participation will bring.

In this way, we do our best – according to our instincts, intuition and intelligence – and serve those to come in history, who will no doubt scoff at our ignorance and ‘backward’ ideas – just as we do at those who thought the earth was flat and dunked witches.

From Carl Munson’s forthcoming book - “Good health is easy (it’s being ill that’s hard work)”

As soon as I saw Randy Gage had written this book, I had to get a copy. And believe me I wasn’t disappointed!

If you want to be free - in health, mind and wealth - “Why You’re Dumb, Sick, and Broke and How to Get Smart, Well, and Rich!” by Randy Gage is a great place to start - it’s inspiring. If you buy it and don’t like it - I’ll refund you your money!!

Enjoy!

My gym are cheeky:

Can you believe that? They think my soul needs cleansing! Was that picked up when I had my induction assessment?

Look. The soul. The Spirit. It’s all fine up there. It’s down here that needs cleansing. Hands off my soul! And down with mind-body-spirit. What’s needed is mind-body-lifestyle.

Hear ye, all good hedolists: show the world how to take control of the mind (and end stress, depression and robotic behaviour); how to take control of the body (and see off chronic disease, obesity and inertia) and how to take control of the lifestyle (and become free, independent and seriously happy).

And leave the soul alone. It’s fine, thank you.

I had a thought today. I’ve had many (but I’ll come back to that). The thought in question today was that marketing has ruined my life.

Truth is, I struggle with focus. And every day, new ideas – in the form of messages from marketing men (and women, no doubt) – flash before me and claim their market share of my consciousness.

So infiltrated have I become by the smooth talk, heavenly hype and downright deception, that my life looks like a series of unfinished, though well-intentioned projects - discovered with awe, conceived with passion and surpassed by a better idea a few days, months or occasionally years later.

Now of course, any decent life coach would take me to task right here. Not only on my ‘victim’ status (marketing ruined my life and not me?), but also my inability to filter my perception and save my consciousness for things of my own choosing, benefit and delight.

But worse still, I consider myself a marketing man – so what’s to be done?

Well, it seems – as is often the case – old Napoleon has the answer:

“Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything.” — Napoleon Hill

Thanks Mr Hill. It comes back to the success secrets of the excellent among us. The keys to great achievement are: a magnificent obsession, underwritten with integrity and self-discipline. Now, more than ever, any of us with a sense of mission - as well as an innocent curiousity - needs to be very careful about the potentially overwhelming and seriously insidious effects of marketing.

For me, it’s time to tidy up, get focussed, but most of all - not get distracted. Care to join me?
