Zen N just published

I’m very excited to announce the publication of my book Zen N. Zen N is a collection of short stories about the search for Life Wisdom and Spiritual Freedom. Check it out at www.zen-n.com.

Analogy of Dianetics and Scientology

One last note before I start doing July 4^th stuff.  I thought of this analogy this morning while walking in the nature park

Imagine you enter the Museum of Natural History in NYC and you start having a wonderful time learning about the history of man and the tools we used to survive in our primitive states.

 At some point something happens but you are not informed that it happened or when it happened.

You do all the rounds and decide it’s time to leave and you get to the lobby and the doors are locked closed and there are large videos in front of the doors and up on the walls displaying horrible things happening outside.

If you try to unlock the doors to see what’s outside musclebound guards hit you brutally with nightsticks and brutally shock you with tazer guns, until you give up or black out.

The other change you don’t realize is that at that unannounced moment of alteration, you became amnesiac of the vast warehouse of knowledge you had about the world outside the museum.

You no longer remember facts like the fact that there are sophisticated cars and subways outside or that people use cell phones and the internet and don’t even remember now, all the stuff that is in Manhattan to see and visit.

It’s all become vague images of “imagination” or “dreams”.

You finally resolve that you are there to stay and become accustomed to, and learn to enjoy the tools and artifacts that are available in the museum to continue on living, with the other people trapped in the museum.

 That to some extent is what has happened to us as spiritual beings as we got curious about these human bodies (and other bodies on other planets) and were seduced by others or our own curiosity to experience what it’s like to be one, to be inside the head of one and to know what they know, feel what they feel etc. and then ending up stuck in human bodies life after life after life, virtually forever like the Buddhist cycle of life and death. (not to mention being “planetlocked”, like “landlocked”, here on this one planet earth)

To further the analogy, the Dianetics book would be like a map that guides you to a hidden door down a hall no one normally goes down, somewhere in the Museum that will let you go outside the museum. This hall and door are not guarded because the guards don’t even know about it and the entrance to the hall (that leads to the escape door) is presumably another door going to a storage room rarely used by anyone that gets little attention by anyone.

Scientology is the door itself that allows you to exit and would include a handbook or guide and video library at the door that would remind you of the things you had gotten amnesia about and show and tell you other things about life outside the museum about NYC and the rest of earth that you never knew.

Hope that helps,

Norm

World changing videos

Before I forget, I want to recommend the following websites which have videos that are being shown around the world and creating phenomenal change for the better. These are videos you don’t want to miss.

The Way To Happiness – videos based on 21 precepts (guidelines) for a better life. The booklet these videos are based on was the catalyst for the ceasefire in the Congo.  www.TWTH.org

Youth For Human Rights – This will inspire you beyond words. EVERYONE needs to know these rights. www.youthforhumanrights.org

Citizens Commission on Human Rights is the leading human rights organization exposing the criminal, fraudulent world-wide destruction the Psychiatric and Psychiatric Pharmacuticals industries are waging… wasting our tax dollars and wasting the lives of our precious loved-ones. www.cchr.org

why 2009 will be fantastic… well for some

I’m genuinely amazed at a couple of forces that, combined can potentially help provide a quality of life so sweet and cool I just have to share this.

It would be a tragedy to be ignorant of  what is “coming down the pike”, especially as some people are working hard to get us as stressed out and panicking as possible over thoughts of financial ruin and devastation.

1. Having Barack Obama as President and Joe Biden as VP. Granted Republicans must do their part and be Republicans searching for Obama’s every error, blunder and moment of bad judgement, but I truly believe we have some very sharp people with genuine, unrelenting determination to do the right thing, which you would think the people on the political Right would have tried to do, rather than just using the Office of President of the USA as a front to have the power to fleece America.

And it’s certainly not fair to generalize that Republicans are all like Bush and Cheney. Frankly, a lot of what the sane Republicans say makes sense. Unfortunately none of them got elected President.

2. The power of personal computers and the internet, including Web 2.0 Social Networking, is allowing people to realize their financial dreams of having the computer really do most of the work, to allow for more leisure and family quality time. The ability for any individual to market worldwide, instantly is the business-transaction version of instant teleportation. The future is quickly becoming “here”.

For over 20 years people have wondered and worried about how long it would take for computers and automation to eliminate millions of jobs.

What better way to turn the threat around by using automation for individual home based businesses.

Why shouldn’t the ex-employee that’s being replaced by a computer or machine, flourish and prosper by using the same technology for their own home business? Well now they truly can.

3. As a Scientologist I am again amazed at what will be coming down the line this year and the next 5 years that will absolutely change the degraded state of the human race and the world quality-of-life so drastically, for the better, that most people will be stunned they were too ignorant to “get it” earlier and there will be reverberations of “OMG!” for quite a while.

So, what’s not to like?

Only that, as they say, “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, and there is just sooo much work to do to make it all happen.

Let’s get going! Let’s get it done!
