Wowsie, when I began Calm Interventions in 2003 or even began developing the theory around 1996 in some ways; not to mention earlier work, I had no idea what I was getting into. The rocky terrain, the ups and downs; the sheer stamina involved are things I could not have conceptualized, because I really had no experience with such things.
That is where things, like purpose and determination come in; as your vision and commitment is really tested through ALL of those years and situations. I am grateful for each and every one of those challenges, successes and unexpected situations, as they have uniformly added experience, learning and even wisdom to these broad shoulders and still somewhat handsome head, lol. The journey continued yesterday and today. I am thankful I had the resilience to stand for what I believe, as far as my children, myself and this world. It is challenging and that what builds character and forges our ideas.
The road is long and really winding, yes; and as my old somewhat hero Maxwell Smart would say: “And loving it. Thanks.

That is my vision, my life, my work; that of a better world. There is such a practical and moral mandate in our world, especially for our younger people, to create a sense that’s our world, can be a better place. There is so much negativity that not only does our world need it, but our young people, may not have been touched by that sense of optimism that is necessary to uphold and uplift society. That is my work, that is Calm Interventions work; that is the work and world of The World’s Best Mediator creating a better planet.
Coming from our inner strength, aligns us with our goodness, our sense of wanting to do well, and even our commonality. Most of us, want a better world, and we need those people and philosophies that will uplift us. I am grateful that I have been able to come this far, in the development of a philosophy. Today being, July 4, 2018, among other things, I convey wonderful appreciation to our dear United State of America, on our 242nd birthday. Happy birthday!

For reasons, I cannot explain, a higher power has put me in a position to confront a fundamental fallacy, even an evil of society. It is my aim, in confronting this evil, to ultimately point towards decency; and most people will join in that. It remains unclear, who is the biggest purveyor of evil behavior towards my family and me, among a “small” number of people; yet I do not know everything, but I know the fight is appropriately joined on my part. I cannot and will not tolerate awful behavior and particularly as it gets as far as evil.
BTW, evil is a specific thing; is it not a “random” word that universally applies to bad behavior. Evil, pertains for one, to a bleakness of perspective, essentially no good at root. Then, evil will engage in totally disruptive and false tactics, aimed to belittle and confuse. Third and related; evil will attempt to appear as good, because evil knows what good is, and further knows that evil cannot ever act as good. So evil traffics in subterfuge and disguise.

Yes, I took the next stage of development for the Science of Inner Strength. It kind of took me by surprise. I saw something this weekend that encouraged me to define myself a little more and I did it. So I am enormously grateful for that step. I felt worn out from some work; AND yet, it just seemed to spontaneously take its place. so there I went. I suppose, it serves as a wonderful reminder that this has truly been a twenty-two year plus odyssey for me, and it surely has a life of its own.
So, I put the work in, and we shall see how it turns out. I seemed to have made a conscious choice to pursue a certain direction; so again, I will see how this round works out. It has been one steady and slow pursuit of a larger goals, for “decades” now. So, like the turtle I keep going. I did see a wonderful reminder in Needham yesterday that said: “Don’t be like the hare,” with a picture of a turtle. That’s me.

The thing is, once you are on a path to greatness or that kind of thing; then you really virtually never know where the opposition will come from. Greatness again, is not a quality solely inherent to me; it is a universal human quality that most of us could conceivably attain. The thing is though; it can take an incredible and even painful experience, to wake us up, and send us in that direction. That is what happened to me; more than twenty-two years ago; there were events that woke me up and set me on a path to reach some sort of divine destiny, or something along those lines.
Sometimes the Opposition to such things can come from those who purport closeness to us i.e. family. Family can have profound jealousies and not want to see members of their circle exceed beyond what they have done. Part of the Science of Inner Strength thinking is that it is that very goal and/or inner purpose that ensures that we keep plodding along, and do not give up. Quite a challenge/opportunity!

That is my goal, on some level; to see if I can shift the mindset, somehow of our great nation and wonderful world, towards kindness, decency and inner strength. Inner strength being that notion that prosperity, must be married to purpose. I am all for, people earning lots of money and all of that; it just must be correlated to a positive purpose. My experience is so profound; that I actually believe I have a shot to change the national psyche in some ways. The main aim being to moves us away from this crassness and faulty notions of meanness being strength.
True strength, inner strength resides in a positive purpose, respect and teamwork with and for others. For me, it entails reaching within our psyche and causing a shift and a recognition that we can be successful, without being mean, indeed by being kind and considerate. It is ambitious, and yet that is where I reach for the stars and prospectively settle for the moon. I have encountered so much unfairness and false strength that I am inspired. Jon

I feel grateful for the small things sometimes; those little things that fall into place, saving us a step here or there. In the best sense, my life and work is about creating a positive philosophy, of imagination and energy, helping us as human beings see the positive, the constructive ways of interacting. It has been quite a piece of work to create such a philosophy, AND now similarly a challenge to represent it, in ways that people can understand and utilize.
I received a little communication that could have nice repercussions yesterday, so we shall see. I aim to establish this place of positivity that will attract others, and send a positive signal out into the world. A world needs positive communications and ways now. Potentially I have done a significant part; we shall see how it ALL plays out. I have a seemingly significant birthday coming up; and yet my spirit, feels very young. I suppose that is one of my secrets, to maintain that inner child and boyish fascination with life, even while maturing well. Thank you.

Yes, like Hakuna Matata; the Science of Inner Strength is a wonderful philosophy and way of being that can help us move in a right direction. I am at my best, in some ways, when I embody that philosophy on many levels, of expression. I got some brochures out, communicated with close ones, did some writing and now blogging, it is a wonderful time to express the philosophy.
Summing up the Science of Inner Strength in a few words, it is about finding our inner strength, our authenticity, our true purpose, all in one. Then it becomes a matter of developing the mechanisms to bring that inner strength forward in appropriate and assertive ways. Implicit, as well; is a matter of trusting in our goodness, as an individual and an organization. That is okay for us to do well, as long as we are aligned with a greater purpose as well. That is the beauty of the Science of Inner Strength, finding that virtually divine sense within us, believing we have a right AND opportunity to accomplish great things. Thanks.

The journey continues, what unfathomable perseverance, this ALL entails. I am grateful that I can keep my focus AND sense of purpose, as guiding lights through this amazing story. It is said the opposition is greatest the nearest the goal, we shall see. Outcome, is not necessarily in my hands; only the effort. Speaking of which, it was rather miraculous today, how some things go done unexpectedly. I was not planning to finish a project, and then whoosh, some energy came in, and next thing you know, this stage was done.
Not to mention, I got a piece that I was working on delivered today, and I got a real kick our of it. It had a nice tone, with a little oomph at the end. So I was really happy about that as well. A friend once gave me a card, saying that the “triumph was in the struggle:” although he also wrote, in the victory as well. I will take both pieces. To the degree that the triumph is in the struggle; I have rocked the world, lol.

To me, one of the true shifts in human consciousness or mindset that we need, has to do with leaving more fearing elements behind, and learning to trust. This process is a constant work in progress. Fear, is so ingrained into the human condition on some level. Historically we can see why; as we were originally born to a planet, without knowing heads or tails, and living in strain of survival.
On some level, our species has evolved quite a bit, although we surely have our work cut out for us. We live in homes, with electricity, to not greatly fear attacks from animals and the like, and have excellent technology. So, we have gotten to know our planet a little better over the course of human history. While guarantees, will virtually never be a part of the human condition: Death and taxes aside, lol; trusting ourselves and one another can become a much greater part of our shared sense of humanity. Trusting takes the edge off of things, and ALLOWS us to believe in higher influences, AND live peacefully.
