I think this book has finally been published in English. It's the only one of Paulo's books that I haven't read yet.

"This is the 21st Century pretending or lies cannot work"
Dalai Lama

This is true. Time for the oppressed to break free. I'm thinking of another quote :

"When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always."
Mahatma Gandhi
Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 - 1948)

As John Lennon Warned...

" Pleasure is the mechanism that connects all aspects of ourselves, our
senses and our body, our mind and our brain. Right now, consider what is
on your mind most of the time. Ralph Waldo Emerson pointed out that
'Life consists of what a man is thinking of all day.' Is your mind
crowded with obligations, pressures, needs, wants, aspirations, planning
for the future, trying to do more, and have more?

When you jog, do you think about the wonderful scenery or your latest
work challenge? When you eat, do you discuss family problems or the
taste and texture of the food? When you take a vacation to 'get away
from it all', what is the 'all' you are getting away from? Does the
'all' stay on your mind? Why do you want to get away from it? Are
vacations an escape from your own way of living- brief pleasure
probations from a life sentence of obligations?

As John Lennon warned:

IS YOUR LIFE WHAT IS HAPPENING WHILE YOU ARE MAKING OTHER PLANS?
If so, your mind has been 'Westernized' and your indigenous 'pleasure
mind' is being neglected."

--Paul Pearsall, The Pleasure Prescription

withy thanks to David for this post

We had snow this morning too m butg it's all gone now. More on the way , they say.

Spent an hour sorting out clothes and bric- a- brac for the charity shop.Lots of bags accumulating now in my hall.

Listened to Paul McKenna's " Change your life in 7 days " CD which didn't play on my old portable CD but worked fine on the old CD from the 80s which is now hooked up to the speakers in the living room. McLappy wasn't having any Paul McKenna either. It's almost 3 years since I first did this " programming " of my subconscious , inspired by my friend Riz , who was also doing it at the time. Now whenever I listen to this CD , it reminds me of other shananigans linked to that time the Pavlov effect

Also, just out of curiosity checked out Paul McKenna's courses- no prices mentioned ar all on his homepage and the " more info " thingy didn't work either. Odd.

Ah well .. mpving on .. catch you later
