8 ball
A BiO Spiritualist's ball ad ********************************* Unhappy is an either/or Hence Happiness is for the making after which it's yours for the taking. How do I help you flip your flop not to even mention top your turvy. By having you experience your flop. Directly. As well as your top. Indirectly. Then after it (your flop) is flipped I turn you inside out like a bag unzipped. I reach in and pull your bottom Up. That is, your corrected side Up ... on your feet like a cat with at least one more life of not that but this your newly found discovered bliss.

Greetings Customers
FREEDOM has been written and talked about in
modern day writings and talkings so much so that
there isn't much more to contribute to the subject--
google it and follow its 300 million links to this one: http://www.aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/freedom.
html
Objectivism has done as thorough a job as can be
done explaining that freedom (in a political context)
means absense not presense. It means
absense of physical force being initiated one
against
another. Hence Objectivists and their sympathizers
are pro a limited government that is limited
to protecting us individuals against thugs; thugs
foreign and thugs domestic.
When the government we Americans do have with its
corrupted definition of "thug"--anyone
who breaks the law--any law--is a thug is
combined with the culture we Americans also
do have along with its deteriorating definition of
"law": only behaviors permitted in written
law are the permitted ones, all others are (or should
be)
forbidden, we Americans are either in danger of
loosing our political freedom or we have lost it or we
are loosing it slowly, drip-by-drip day-after-day.
It doesn't have to be this way but since most people
do not directly experience the heavy hand of
government because they never challenge it, they
have no personal, FIRST HAND experience with
FREEDOM and what it does or doesn't mean.
Since I did challenge it once and was saved--not by
the bell but by (an) Objectivism (principle)--allow me to
tell you the
actual story.
(After you read this story if you want
to conclude that since
everybody kinda gets what they really want
anyway so that "on the subconscious level" I got what
I "really" wanted (to be out-from-under the
pressure to make
another ill-conceived--Selfishness!?!?! Training
Institute, are yu kidding me???--"money-making-
scheme" of mine work) you can do so. However, to
prove such to be the case is going to be a really really
tough thing to do, so, you are somewhat forced to take
my story at face value. Hence, you also have to allow
for the possibility that
AMERICA IS NOT FREE. She is not FREE--or is not
AS FREE as she could be--FROM rule by goons; be
they bureaucratic goons who love their
bureaucratic power or the mini-goons-in-the-street
who love voting the power-hungry bureaucrats
into power. Bureaucrats who will help the little
goons--in
exhange for their votes--live
with their pseudo self-esteem by seeing to it
that the gap-between-them and the authentic
self-esteem holders doesn't get too big.)

FREEDOM is more than an abstraction: |
|
(Was the parenthetical commentary at the end of the
previous section really the description of the difference
between "low", albeit, authentic self esteem
holders who might be jealous but not necessarily
envious--just jealous--of those whose degree of
authentic self-esteem is quite high? Whereas
the other difference--pseudo vs.
authentic--is one characterized by the
envy ridden pseudo self-esteem holders
who want not to raIse everybody up, but to raze
everybody down to their level? Yes. The
question is rhetorical.)
In the very early 90's I started my Selfishness
Training
Institute (STI) as a for-
profit sole proprietorship to
provide me with a career I would love and an income I
could live on. I had been a Mechanical Engineer for a
quarter of a century and voluntarily gave it up to pursue
my real love which was psychology. STI was designed
by me to provide psychological counseling services to
individuals interested in using psychology to help
them promote their own personal growth and
development. A sentiment of mine at the time was:
Psychology is for people not rats. (I did not use
this as
an Advertising slogan at the time, it simply was an
unpublished sentiment of mine.)
At the time I had (and still do the last time I checked) a
Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology. I spent the
better part of the 80's obtaining it from the
mainstream--read accredited--Universities and
Colleges available to me here in the State of
Minnesota. (It took a long time to obtain because I
pursued it on my own excess time and paid for it with
my own excess money that I made as an Engineer.)
So in 1991 with my degree and enthusiasm in hand I
set up shop. I designed my brochures
and
advertisements and set out to attract customers. I
advertised in the Yellow
Pages and local
newspapers and sent out mass mailings
introducing my Selfishness
Training Institute to prospective clients.
Over time I had a few customers, but (in
contradistinction to my hopes and wishes) they were
not "knocking down my doors" to set appointments.
So I thought, "well, this may take a little longer than I
had originally planned". It was discouraging (and a
significant amount of my savings was being
consumed) but not so discouraging as to stop my
motivation.
It took the State's threatening to send me to jail to do
that.

Gary Deering--the world's first PsycHHology Engineer--is not permitted in law to use the "p" word, so DECLARES the Government of the State of Minnesota. |

One day I received notification from The Minnesota
State Board of Psychology--the same Board by the
way to whom I had applied to and received license to
be an "un-licensed" mental health practitioner--that in
essence said the following. Since I had referred to my
STI service as one offering Psychological
Counseling
Services in one of my Newsletters and
since I
wasn't licensed to do that, they would send me to jail if
I didn't publicly recant my sin and contact each and
every mass-mailed-to-person and tell them also.
I contacted my lawyer.
[continued in next issue]
(This lawyer was not the same one that I had hired for
my divorce a half dozen or so years earlier. That
person they almost did succeed in putting into jail.
That is, they would have
succeeded in turning
him into the jailbird that he was destined to be had
they caught him before he fled the state and left me
hanging with a half done divorce that I had already
paid half of the $150 fee he was charging me. {Maybe
this fee, you say, should have been a tip off? 150
bucks for a divorce? At the time it seemed like a fair
price to me so I went ahead and hired him. He tried to
make me think that we would have a really really tough
divorce and that I should be on the ready and be
prepared for some back 'n forth negotiating and it
could get ugly. I said probably not but I hear you so
lets get on with it.}
So, anyway, no, this new
lawyer was legit (I
checked); unlike my first one this one did not fail to
pass the bar exam and
assume the identity of his college roommate who had
passed the exam but who went somewhere else
outside of Minnesota to practice law.
Since it is a legitimate
function of government to have a court system,
lawyers, who are the primary agents of this system,
work for the government and so it isn't
necessarily
improper for such agents to be licensed by the
government. But in the case of psychology the same
licensing requirement by the government can
only be justified on the premise that "psychologists"
work for the government; that is, that the
government "owns" psychology. Not only is this a
wrong idea, it is a dangerous one. And if you
do not believe this is a dangerous idea, then Yes read
my book, I can't say it any clearer than I did there. My
only hope now is that I do not get a notice in the mail
someday from the government telling me that I am
not
a licensed writer and so I had better stop writing--or
else they'll put me in jail. Actually, if this happened I
wouldn't roll over quite so easily and probably would
end up in jail (though to be fair to myself, my
fear of going to jail for daring to use the "p"
word was for real--very real--so it might be a bit of
a misnomer here to characterize it as rolling over too
easily). But I really
don't think this is going to happen. But, perhaps, I
should say/repeat, I really hope it doesn't
happen.
So that licensening lawyers
so to speak makes
sense, but licensening writers does not--unless of
course as I've already said, you think the government
should control this too. (If you do, then you should
read and/or re-read this: 1984 came
and didn't went.)
Anyway, as I was saying, I contacted my new lawyer to
see if I could use and/or even say the "p" word
without explicit permission from the
government and if not, what were my
prospects for staying out of jail for having done it once.
