Please no questions on Facebook group until 72 hours after the 3rd - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Introduction Format – 25 to 35 min. presentations with 5 min breaks Chat has been disabled Please no questions on Facebook group until 72 hours after the 3rd week’s presentation. Alternatively, I suggest that you have a notebook and as you have questions you record them with date and time…

After the weeks presentations, give it 48 hours and then review your questions and check off any you have now realized the answers to with date and time. When faced with the unknown, Einstein is quoted as saying: “I think 99 times and nothing comes to me I stop thinking:swim in silence. and Truth comes to me.”

There will be great variations In the levels of exposure to the Three Principles I ask the “old-timers” to be patient And open to having ”fresh” insights

There will be considerable repetition And the same thing pointed to in many ways As understanding increases The same statement will be heard with different ears

Paradigm:

A framework containing the basic assumptions, ways of thinking, and methodology that are commonly accepted by members of a scientific community

The Structure of Scientific Revolutions Thomas S Kuhn second edition 1970 “The proliferation of versions of a theory is a very usual symptom of crises Maxwell, Copernicus, Einstein- In each case the novel theory seems a direct response to a crisis ( a failure in problem solving activity)

Ignaz Semmelweis: 1818-1865

Early pioneer of antiseptic procedures “the savior of mothers” He reduced the death rate from childbirth In the Vienna Birth Center by 90% but was ridiculed because he could not explain the science of his results.

“ A scientific theory is declared invalid only if an alternative candidate is available to take its place” ”The decision to accept one paradigm is always simultaneously the decision to accept another… and involves the comparison of both paradigms with nature and with each other”

“When the transition is complete the professional will have changed its view of the fields, its methods and its goals” …A scientist reorientation by paradigm change… Involves handling the same bundle of data as before but placing them in a new system of relations with

• ne another by giving them a different framework”

“It is… as if the professional community had been suddenly transported to another planet for familiar objects are seen in a different light and joined by unfamiliar ones as well”

“almost always the men who achieve these fundamental inventions of a new paradigm have either been very young or very new to the field whose paradigm they change”

Syd Banks : 1931-2009 How about a 43 y/o welder with a 9th grade education who after a profound experience states to his wife, “ I have seen what people call ‘God’ is, I have seen what life is, and I have seen how the two are connected”

1) “I will be writing books” 2) “Psychologists and Psychiatrists will seek me out and ask me to share what I have seen and they or their students will in time change psychiatry and psychology from mental illness professions to true mental health professions”

3) “You and I will be traveling. I will be asked to speak at colleges and universities not only in Canada but throughout the United States and eventually in Europe”

Coming Home Coming home to peace and quiet Coming home to feelings warm Coming home where there’s a fullness Where love in me is born

Coming home’s a simple journey, Takes no movement on my part. Instead of listening to my thoughts. I listen with My heart.

Coming Home- Sue Pettit 1986

Objectives:

At the completion of the program the participants will have an increased ability to discuss:

The Three Universal Principles (Mind, Consciousness, Thought) are the essence of everything.

All Living Creatures utilize these Principles to create their personal and unique experience of life One thought at a Time

Every human being has mental health within them Now!

People are Never Broken: and Have Nothing Lacking

(In order to have peace of mind)

Diagnostic Labels are a Description of Where a person is but never of Who they are Are

There is One Cause and One Cure to all mental suffering

“There are two thought

systems: The Divine and the personal” IQOP: p 62

“Universal Mind and

personal mind are … two ways of using the same mind.” ML: p33

“The brain and the mind are two entirely different things. The brain is biological The mind is spiritual The brain acts like a computer

“Our feelings are a barometer

• f our thoughts”

ML: p111

The Psyche/Soul (the individual site of Consciousness) and the Soma (the physical body) are the same energy in a different disguise See ML p 69

As humans, we are guided by Universal Mind at all times, as this is realized from within we know that we will be ‘okay, no matter what’
