Help Factory

about the help factory

Welcome to my universe (Or, at least my attempt at conveying my universe onto a single page)

My creations happen instantly, complete concept and all. This webpage and the help factory is an example. I tried to fit the concept on one page, but since it wouldn’t fit, I included a few links. I also tried to keep this page under 10,000 words, but it went over- only a little though. The site may seem like a joke, but it’s not; although feel free to laugh- I did.

The production line of the help factory starts with ideas- big, healthy, creative and constructive ideas. They are offered to anyone that asks. The factory continues its manufacturing process with idea injection molding. The final product is success in all areas of life.

the game (beta)

The game is to unlock and expose greatness. There are too many people hiding behind curtains. Martin Luther King Jr. isn’t the only one with a dream.

Grab a pencil. As you read this page make a check mark for separate ideas that you consider: helpful, inspiring, planet changing, or just sounds good. When you are done reading this, count up the check marks. Let’s say the number is 7- 7 things that you think are great or whatever.

The ideas that you mark are the ideas that you can relate with. Ability to perceive greatness means that you are capable of greatness. The final number will be used to determine your level of participation. You may, or may not fit into the factory architecture, but regardless of your role, there are options for you. So get out your pencil.

name your wants

I am not always great at asking for exactly what I want. In fact that is a skill that everyone can improve. To decide what you want exactly and then ask for it. Name it, Want it, Get it. That formula is too simple right. Wrong. This is the magic formula taught to me by the greatest educator that I have ever known. The simplicity is elusive and therefore, not always the easiest thing to implement. The occasion of this page is to ask for what I want and to tell you why even I would be convinced. I would be even more stoked if you did the same.

You ought to give it a shot. Determine what you want. Name it; ask for it. If you say that you want a million dollars, I say, “what do you want, that a million dollars will buy you?”. Really dial it in; get specific. So you want your art in a gallery? Why? Make sure you get specific. Oh, so you want to create positive impacts with your art! Cool! Name your want.

Ensure others do the same. Let’s say your boss isn’t paying you, make sure he wants to pay you. He’ll name it, rather than giving an excuse as to why he’s broke. Another example might be employees with poor performance. Make sure they know what the product is and that they want it and can name it. “I AM going to show up on time”, get them to say it and want it.

back in the day

The first time I noticed my giving habits was at the age of 9. A new friend came over to my grandma’s house in Hemet. He made me a cool picture with slick ink and he just gave it to me. There was no reason behind this act of kindness and it made me think, what was his intention behind giving me this picture? I couldn’t figure it out, so I just assumed that it was popular to give. Later that night I couldn’t sleep so I sat at my desk and drew pictures. I was really good at drawing Bart Simpson and Batman and especially space cities. Midway in the process of making my series of pictures, I had a brilliant idea. I would GIVE them to Brandon. WHOA! When that thought entered my mind, the pictures got produced at double the speed and for the first time ever I actually had a goal behind my picture drawing. The next day when he came over, I could hardly suppress my enormous grin as I gave him a stack of pictures (about 8 of them). I was expecting him to understand, perhaps be happy, but I must’ve confused him- he forgot to say thanks. He didn’t know what to think or do with all the pictures. Perhaps he also started to think.

Note: Thought is comparing earlier experiences and perceptions to propose a solution or predict a future outcome. In the example above, I hadn’t had prior experiences, so I had to formulate my own ideas. (using imagination and ones own ideas are far more important than being educated. Facts are of the past. Ideals are of the future.)

I give

Let me just tell you a something about myself that not many people know. I give and give and give. My personal importance is only a small fraction amongst the importance of my fellows. Some say I have a super sharp edge sometimes, but one thing about me that is often missed: I am super soft when it comes to giving freely.

I entered the sand castle contest myself, and while I busily constructed the masterpiece, several admiring passersby offered to help out. The redwoods beach camping trip of age ten was the time and place. I gave away the third place award for the best sandcastle a few minutes after winning it. Mother, who is normally overly accepting, said sharply, “why did you give that away?” I didn’t know what to say, but the reason was to say thanks to the guys that helped.

People that freely offer help need the awards of this world, not the sandcastle self interest types.(At left: artist’s rendering of the sandcastle)

last year

Last year was an interesting example of my help habits, and also an example of why I needed to make some changes. First of all I donated $26,000 to charities. I gave away $37,000 worth of work in discounts. I gave my staff about $3,000 in bonuses even though a couple of them made about double of what I did in the year. Here is the exciting part: the amount I was ripped off totaled $19,000. One day I felt cheerful and paid a friend’s debt of $800 he had for a long time, without him ever asking or getting his permission. I bought another friend $5,000 dollars of education materials and gave it to him like it was licorice. Was I expecting anything back? No. Aside from the donations, and the debt of one friend, I was very disappointed in the results of the remaining help flows. Looking back on it now, the amount of giving was a bit retarded, but not when others also give back, or at least say more than the word, “thanks”-some people didn’t even say that. Spread some sort of positive contribution, or at least cut me some slack. I realized some very important lessons; one of those is to really be wary of those whom are not worthy- they will turn on you like an enemy. The best solution I found is to fully focus on helping those that deserve help, and are, in turn helping others.

money desires

Aside from the desire to survive, I no longer have money desires for personal wealth or the accumulation of stuff. In fact, my happiness is much greater without owning lots of stuff. My survival depends on the enhanced survival of others, families, groups, mankind, trees, animals, etc.

Some may think this to be an unpopular idea; that it is better to have all the best life has to offer. Well, I agree, it’s just that I don’t need to own in order to have.

Despite everything I just said, I would really like to posses this stack of gold- the biceps will get a good work out as I pass it out, not to the poor, but to the effective.

currently

This year started out fantastically as I gave a toast to the family after eating the most marvelous salmon steak. Upon returning to town after the holidays things went super south. An intense dissatisfaction of life had jumped to a mind boggling level. I felt the previous year of help was nowhere near adequate and I couldn’t quite pinpoint my disappointment. To spare you the details, I’ll just say that it boiled down to help. I embarked on a new mission, not one driven with cash or cabinets, but one of information. I started on a campaign to share everything I knew, that was worth sharing, and in some way helped. I thought I would finish the project quickly, but I found out that it’s a job that won’t be completed for a while. The dissatisfaction is completely and totally reversed, as long as I continue to share what I know.

remove the dam

I put much on the back burner while developing the help factory. The cabinet and furniture company that I spent 10 years developing: ya, back burner. Hard to believe right? Some may think I’m an idiot. My original company was nothing more than a group building experiment so I could better consult others, the only other motivation was creativity utilization.

The idea that I was going to consult in the future, teach in the future, and distribute solutions in the future was the dam. I decided it had to come down right now. There are mental dams and there are physical dams. With the removal of any dam, the river flows- or rages for a bit, the backpressure is relieved, and things smooth out.

my guideline

I have seen much research into what is wrong with society, government and the world, all seemingly out of proportion to the successes being researched and known. Even when the successful actions are made known, the actual results are not promoted quite enough.

Making the successes known is the ultimate secret weapon. It is so fiercely destructive to the titanium coated fear blanket that encapsulates and impedes progress. People may shut off the truth when it seems hard to confront or deal with. The solution may also be hard to swallow if it requires the effort of lifting a finger or two. By presenting the SUCCESS, the WIN, the GAIN, the WHATEVER-THE-HELL-WORKED, people will gravitate, even if they don’t give a worry to the wrongs of the world. The most seemingly difficult problems have the easiest solution.

my missions

Help mission: This consists of broadening my ability to help by starting to focus on it full time. Not later, when I am more able, Not when I have more money, Not when the emergency strikes; now. I am focusing on utilizing the most effective tools of giving help that I know, or become aware of.

Creative mission: Finding new ways to communicate important ideas is a creative urge. This also consists of promoting and supporting other artists that work towards creating a better future. I intend to stretch creativity to the point where it knocks out inadequate and antiquated ideas, social mechanisms, and replaces them with sanity; constructive ideas of the future.

Knowledge mission: To make knowledge and information aesthetic; to make it inviting; to use tools and philosophies that make important information desirable, and to ensure that people can grasp, assimilate and let attention flow.

Education mission: I want to support and enhance education urges and efforts. Mankind needs help, and so far, the biggest help would be in better education- the solutions already exist.

my happiness

Creative ideas. To me, happiness is nothing more than excitement. There is definitely excitement to be had in sports, but that type of short term excitement is dwarfed by the excitement of constructive, creative and beneficial ideas. When the lightning strikes, so do I. This leads to…

Purposeful projects. Working on a project that is envisioned to create a big effect is when I can work 56 hours straight (true). The idea that others will be positively affected by my actions is what drives at a level never before seen (I haven’t seen it anyway).

Teaching people who are eager to learn. I have learned to hold myself back in these instances. In the past, when someone showed eagerness, I just spewed and spewed information and sometimes people would close up. Eagerness to learn is a real treat for me and I have been practicing to remaining calm.

Others that grant importance. This includes granting importance to others by really taking time to listen, understand and acknowledge. Also, I find much happiness when people grant themselves importance; they share their ideas and ideals; they decide that they are THE ONE! This includes people that sign up on helpsavetheworld.net

Realizing that help is possible. I’m talking about real help. It’s sometimes easy to forget the little things that bring so much help to others. When I am reminded of these things, a distinct type of energy is released and the feeling of freedom is often accompanied by expanded lungs and tears.

everything and I

“I don’t care about myself as much as I do about everything else. I intend to uplift the society so that I can be myself”. Out of laziness I have used this line on several social network websites that have been springing up left and right.

Very recently I joined one built around architecture and another all about restoring the republic. There is always a bio to fill out, you know? Though I feel that is a very true statement, I haven’t felt right about saying it, probably because it lacked an example, or perhaps because it isn’t true.

I don’t want to confuse anyone into thinking that I am a victim. I have noticed that there are many people with the majority of interest on themselves. Before I noticed this I got myself into some un-fun situations. My, previously stupid, overboard willingness to help combined with someone else’s self interests was a losing combination. After making a few mistakes on help choices, I decided to focus my help on people that can accept it, and see it. Further, I decided to put energy into people that are trying to make a difference in a sphere that is outside of them. Doing anything I can to uplift the society has the additional benefit: I can be myself. An example would be to give help freely, and instead of having it paid back, it would be paid forward to others.

A better statement might be, “I am uplifting the world by being myself at all times” (By the way, my ultimate favorite social network website is couchsurfing.org . This global community is an amazing example of people paying it forward and ‘Creating a Better World, One Couch At A Time’)

golden age of information

We have entered the golden age of information. Please take note of this. Let’s take responsibility to ensure the information is also golden.

Shaping the future of this planet, how people think, feel and work together on a common purpose is what happens with open communication lines. It is true that people are the affect of their environment. People can become negatively affected or they can be positively affected. A change in someone’s thinking is all it takes to accomplish amazing things. Communicating what is on your mind, knowledge that you have, or stating your purpose to a large audience can travel very far and have amazing results.

unawareness

Unawareness can be a valuable tool. Sure, there are things that we need not know, or be responsible for. “I don’t care what is backing up the toilet, I just want it fixed”.

Not being aware is also used as an unknowing mechanism of cope. “I won’t be aware so I can get through my miserable day”. “I won’t be aware of evil so I can remain happy”. “I won’t be aware that he just saved my life so I can still feel important, blah blah blah”. It boils down to escaping responsibility.

Ok, so what is the point?

If you are the only one that knows how to fix the toilet, well you better get to work at sharing what you know, because when shit hits the fan, everyone will be knocking on your door.

If you are the only one that knows how to fix the toilet, yet you pretend like you don’t know, you might not feel so great when the whole family starts smelling really bad. After a while you might even fool yourself into believing you don’t know how to use the rooter.

Whether you want to enjoy the freedoms of unawareness, or you want to become more aware, it all starts with taking responsibility for what you know. Empower others and offer your solution.

mental expansion

I have become more aware of my own mind; its scope and uses have become clearer than they ever have. It has been strangely incredible.

The reason for this recent expansion is the purpose that I am focusing on.

A massive heap of info collects in the mind whether you’re awake or sleeping. It just piles in there for future use.

When I started using my mind to answer the question, ‘ how do I best communicate what I know?’ channels started to open up big time.

Dusty mountain ranges of information, observations, conclusions, etc finally had a place to go. The second I started to ask this task of my mind, it practically overwhelmed me with answers.

Once the right questions were being asked, I was upgraded to the task of sorting through the enormous stack of answers, to try and find the best or more important ones.

Here is my suggestion for expanding your mind and becoming ever more aware of it’s potential: Put your mind to good use. Use the question, ‘how do I best communicate what I know’
(The above is the analytical approach to mental development. For handling unwanted conditions and barriers, find out about the reactive mind)

personal philosophy

Helping yourself and personal advancement should only be done in proportion to using and practicing your knowledge and abilities. Otherwise it’s hard to keep and may get lost from un-use. Before making yourself more educated and more able in a given area, determine specific purposes, and as you bring yourself up, constantly practice what you learn in your defined purpose. Life is not lived for the self alone, there are many other facets. My Philosophy is: Advancement of self can only take place in combination with advancement on all levels of life.

pr and the world

Pr is a term that I wasn’t born knowing. I don’t know why. Perhaps it was because my mom didn’t use the term while I was coming out feet first.

As I started to get a feel for this term, associated thoughts of media, lies, and business suits came to mind. ‘Public relations’ is what pr stands for. And though I am not an expert in the field, at least I can form an opinion and pr it.

Wait, is it a verb too? Well yes, I just used it as a verb. It’s the action of using pr technology.

Pr can be used to convince mom that the egg plant cookies were, in fact, eaten and enjoyed none the less. Mom smiles while the exterior plants whither.

Government has become very adept at using pr in this limited fashion. Imagine: the larger part of the world could actually be led to believe that a war on terror is taking place, when an entirely different war is going down.

Do not confuse deceit with pr. Deceit is a highly limited tool and has many boobie traps. If you see pr for what it really is, then you’ll see that deceit need not be included.

So what is pr really about? That’s a question that I have a great definition for; just not with me at the moment. Here’s my opinion about pr though: pr is about transferring thought. That’s pretty much it. But, when that thought is transferred correctly, a change takes place or another’s opinion may change. Pr is simply a communication tool.

Looking at pr in this very simple fashion, many examples present themselves.
-A smile transfers a good emotion. Someone else may feel better as a result
-The bum wearing trash bags, holding a Styrofoam cup on the off ramp is pr-ing the fact that they are helpless. Someone might break out the loose change at this point, or they might feel crappier than they did before.
-Imagine if everyone thought the world was flat, but you knew it wasn’t. You would have to pr the true information in a way that others could accept. Just giving the hard cold facts doesn’t always work.
-The examples go on and on and on. It is a pr world; completely and utterly.

I need to reiterate a point from above: the hard cold facts don’t always do the trick.

For some, truth is the only guiding principle. This is the person who chooses to find out for him/herself rather than relying on another’s word. I find this breed to be quite rare.

The most amazing discoveries can be found when you go to the source. Imagine that, getting information from the source.

But people don’t always go to the source. Many rely on the pr that is flying around.

It’s too bad, because I personally don’t always like to use pr to transfer how I feel and think. I prefer people come up to me and ask me, rather than relying on the pr of a big smile to let people know that I am happy.

What about those that want to help the world and have all the solutions? Well, from what I can tell, their doors are still intact and have yet to be knocked down. WHY? It’s because they haven’t pr-ed this fact or their pr just sucks. Meanwhile, everyone and their grandmothers are sporting the sleek new Ipod.

A while ago I underwent the most amazing personal advancement in more lifetimes than I can count. Only a few people that knew about this even asked me about it. I could tell that people were interested, but it seemed they were waiting for the marvelous pr to discharge. The advancement was a personal thing, and didn’t necessarily transfer over into my pr; therefore my wins were kept to myself for the most part.

I heard some controversy about this new religion. There were all kinds of opinions flying around one way or another. This only piqued my interest to find out what it was really about- from the source.

The truth is found at the source. Information that isn’t from the source is second hand pr, which may or may not be truth. Why is it that people don’t go to the source for their information? This is very interesting to me. (When things are interesting to me I usually end up philosophizing until I come up with an explanation. When I have an explanation things cease to be interesting. Mystery creates interest. Anyway, here I go.)

Perhaps the communication level of the society has decreased from a two-way cycle, and has migrated into more of a one-way cycle. Meaning: people are trying to be communication receptacles rather than communication originators (or the other way around).

Perhaps there are mysterious elements or invisible walls that block one’s ability to reach and grab the truth.

Perhaps all kinds of stuff. It’s noticeable that a barrier exists. People rely on pr and this isn’t one of those keen observations that presents itself once in a lifetime after waking up from a deep sleep; it’s obvious.

Have you ever heard the phrase, ‘people are the effect of their environment’?

Well it’s absolutely true. And it’s not sad. Observing that people are the effect of their environment, how their thoughts, opinions, actions and ways of living are the guided by their surrounding environment is a good thing to notice.

People that watch the most current crime reports (aka: news at 10) may start to feel like their environment is a dangerous place, and therefore find necessity in the installation of barbed wire for their white picket fence.

People can become negatively affected of positively affected. The positive effect also leads to others assuming a more causative role. Here is where the tool of pr comes in.

I am tired of seeing large corporations and governments use crappy pr that works beautifully. Pr is the most important tool in the society right now. It is an invaluable tool in shaping the outcome of the future. How people think, feel and work together on a common purpose is what I’m talking about. Further, it is the most effective means of disseminating the truth and workable solutions to problems that this world currently faces.

The days of waiting for the controlled mass media to share the really important issues, to give out solutions freely is over; it won’t happen (Did you know that the mass media was controlled? If not, you might have missed the press release. I did too). Thank god for the internet. I don’t thank god enough, but the internet is one thing I thank him for prior to initial login. (Also, god: thanks for getting rid of the annoying screeching dial up and replacing it with wifi.) The mass media is in a pickle. The internet is a powerful pr/communication tool; it’s free.

Individuals are starting to break free into the world of pr more than ever. People are telling the world what it needs to know, and the information is coming from the source, or close to it. People are also pr-ing when their bedtime is, which is pretty cool too. The, “hey Susan, I feel really sassy today.” is no longer being transferred to Susan. It’s being transferred to Susan and perhaps a million others, including Googlebots.

Earlier this year I was feeling un-great. (Do you ever feel like you don’t fit in? If so then you ought to consider being the product of your environment) Anyway, I wasn’t feeling incredibly enthused about anything. I’m either completely enthused or completely un-enthused. Many shades of grey are lacking from my palette. I came across the wood whisperer. He’s a fellow woodworker. This guy Mark started pr-ing the awesomeness of woodworking. “Woodworking education for the modern woodworker” is the tag line. It wasn’t his new twist on woodworking education that got me super enthused, nor was it the slim chance that I could actually learn something new; what really got pumped was his fresh method of communicating. Seeing his example was really a pr eye opener. He was able to create a change in my mood. When my mood changed, so did my activity level. Many new ideas also followed.

I don’t know what prompted Mark to start his woodworking mission. Perhaps he was in the same boat I was in, overworked and underpaid/appreciated. Maybe he just truly enjoys educating others. Whatever his reason I’d like to know. What I do know is that increased communication to a broader audience can have amazing effects. I really admire Mark Spagnulo for his fresh new method of communicating the seeming cobwebbed art of woodworking.

Another example of an individual increasing communication to a broader sphere and overturning the controlled mass media is Carl watts. He has a website that he updates more times than you can count. He promotes artists. Now if that is not what really matters then I don’t know what does. Further, he promotes causes and important information to as many people that he can. Carl is a stellar example of an individual taking responsibility by using pr to share information that matters. Uplifting the world does not need a magic formula; it needs more individuals communicating what they know (and Carl: that includes posting your poetry).

It’s unfortunate that pressing situations that need attention from everybody need to be pr-ed. Realizing this is important, for now one can begin to take correct action. Chris Martenson has been teaching the ‘Crash Course’ for a while. It is a collection of very basic lessons that connect the planetary situations of energy, economy and the environment. He has done an amazing job of putting the information together in the most understandable fashion possible. In this regard he is truly a pr master. If pr is the art of transferring the thought that creates change then he’s nailed it. The information is true; he has distinguished between fact and opinion very distinctly, and avenues for solution are presented.

What happens when people greatly expand their communication lines and start sharing information freely? I can’t give you the ultimate answer, but in my perspective it uplifts the entire society, it creates more possibilities, it makes technology known and understandable versus becoming lost and squashed. With increased knowledge comes increased responsibility and in turn, increased control to handle any planetary factor that inhibits the future survival.

That’s what pr has to do with the world.

If you ever feel like you are alone in your intentions or ideals, just know that you aren’t. Whatever the idea is, most likely it’s hidden because nobody is pr-ing it. It may seem like it is unpopular because it is. If you want to increase popularity for any purpose, don’t wait for the news broadcaster, you have all the power in the world.

If you want a society with hovering cars, PR the idea. If you want a better government. PR a better government, don’t PR what is wrong with it.

importance of your ideas

I can’t even begin to tell you how important your ideas are, even if not to you, they are very important to me. However, I can tell you the…

importance of my ideas

My ideas are all wrapped around my primary purposes for being alive.

To assist people and all the facets of the world in which we live. I feel that the importance of individuals and what they are capable of accomplishing are so great and so vast, but they need help. How to help others is what is on my mind everyday.

Help to individuals and help in unlocking those individuals self truths are vital ingredients in improvement to all other areas in the world we live. I have seen groups create big problems, but I have only seen individuals create solutions.

Equipped with the right tools, the job gets done. Personally, I haven’t really scratched the surface. The ideas, words, websites and related links were created this year, starting in February, and on the side.

My ideas are super important. Look, I’m not being cocky. My ideas are important to me, and if other people don’t like them, it’s because I haven’t communicated them well enough.

Your ideas are better than mine, so start sharing them.

transfer your ideas

I tried to tell you the importance of informing others. If it makes sense then toss it; reestablish your own reasons.

Once you decide to take responsibility for what you know, you’ll need to find the best way to transfer that information. The examples in the article to the right are just a few. Find your own method. Speak at a family dinner about something that is important to you or on your mind. Go a little further and start important conversations with people in line at the grocery store. Not all societies are built on keeping to one’s self, and you’ll find that deep down people want your perspective.

An idea transfer method I’ve been practicing this year is writing. You can see I’ve written a lot on this page. I have not really written anything prior to this year.

I also love to do public speaking. Preparation for a public speaking event is a creation that really excites me. Determining the main message, aligning the important information, and speaking to a large audience is an enormous thrill. Making video blogs is another method i have experimented with lately. Start to take a look at other’s actions on this line.

I’m your help promoter

Here is an example of a help service that I offer to everyone: My job as Administrator for helpsavetheworld.net:

-Being the collection bin and distribution system of all things great.
-To relay, or communicate valuable information in the most pleasing and understandable way I possibly can.
-To locate positive results and successes, spread the example, and create a model for it’s distribution.
-Assisting others by supplying information and spreading their message.
-To assist others in becoming authors on the site.

Here are a few things I consider important:

-Successes. Something intended that lead to a result.
-Solutions. Information that resolves a problem.
-Problems. The most accurate and concise summary of situation.
-Inspiration. Anything that has the power of motivating others.
-Knowledge. Information for any topic related to betterment.
-Vision. Thoughts of the future, and crisp ideals.

This website is for you, and my job is to help you. Here are a few things you can do that will really help me out:

-Keep a constant look out and alertness to positive impacts that are being made.
-Bookmark the ‘submit information‘ page so that you can use it without delay to share information.
-If you currently have documents on your computer or information that is easily shared, please use the ‘submit information‘ form to send it to me pronto.
-If you come across an email that you don’t feel comfortable keeping to yourself, forward it to admin@helpsavetheworld.net (note: forwarding email is the least desirable method of sending me information. Use this method only if you can’t be bothered to use the ‘submit information‘ form, which is fine.)
Thanks for keeping a look out! Please let me know if there is any other way that i can help you. (special thanks to Annie for submitting this incredible video)

unlimited content generator

First off, the mind is a super computer. It collects infinite information, speculations, observations, perceptions, imaginations. All that data gets stored. Then what? The information is sorted and categorized so it can be used.

When I first got into the art of website creation, the word ‘content’ became a solid piece of my vocabulary. Content is the ideas, stories, words, pictures and the reason for the website in the first place. Content is separate from the graphics or the code.

People are unlimited content generators. When I first started making websites, naturally I started to think up content for my sites. I started to think of the words and ideas I would communicate and the pictures I would include. What a mad rush of ideas!, I filled a notebook and I couldn’t even keep up with the ideas I wanted to communicate; couldn’t get it on paper fast enough. At first I thought that the content generation would stop at some point, that there was some kind of limit to the amount of content that one person could generate. WRONG. People are unlimited content generators. The personal twists, takes and observations are an endless source of content. If you have a mind, you are in way over your head when it comes to the amount of content you can generate. Here’s the problem with the mind: It can analyze things from an unlimited amount of perspectives. Whenever I begin a website I almost get overwhelmed with the amount of options I have and sorting through it all is sometimes difficult. Minds may be different in terms of clarity and capacity, but just know that you have the most complex and sophisticated computer in the universe. My main mental chore is to constantly sort the importance of information, because the data is downloaded constantly.

For this site, my mind is directed in the direction of ‘what helps?’ Note that this is still inadequate; it’s a little too broad. Good coffee helps, de-fragmenting a hard drive helps, etc, so then what?

When determining content for a site, I give my mind more specific commands. Something like: ‘what do I know or consider, that I want others to know or consider’ Also I use the Key definitions regarding a subject.

I try to keep a look out for things that fit the key definitions. This weekend a friend organized a beach cleanup. She asked me to supply some wood posts for the custom sign she made. It said: ‘Safeguard and improve your environment’. Hours later, my mental categorization kicked in and I realized this beach cleanup needed to become content for this site. Hopefully I can get a picture of her cleanup and interview, in which case I’ll do an article.

I noticed a beautiful and well kept creek one day as I was walking over the bridge. I noticed a sign that documented the creek rehabilitation. It showed the old creek and lifeless cement lining, and it showed the construction project that was designed to restore it. There on a little sign was the evidence that people and groups can make a difference. Not only that, but now the turtles have a place to live and the local foxes can drink. I wish I had my camera, because that is what I want to include in this site.

I have noticed that bad news and mystery can act as glue in the mind; people keep their attention on what is wrong. The good actions sometimes go unnoticed. Let’s say the world would have already ended if _________ didn’t take place. Well of course nobody knows about________, because there is no longer anything to worry about. But you mention War or you mention the possibility of entering a new Hitler regime, and now people can relate (If people are observant in this area, but do you get the idea?).

It is sometimes hard work to keep one’s attention on the good, for it just flows through the mind smoothly without sticking. Let’s say you build a bird house for your mom; it has some nails sticking out and the roof is about to fall off, well those flaws will be noticed readily. Mom may notice that it must have been hard work for little Johnny. But, let’s say that you spend weeks on designing the perfect bird cage that fits in with the environment, and has the perfect ergonomics for birds, and is built to be unnoticed so that the birds will feel safe. Mom will definitely love it, but everyone else that sees the birdcage will think it’s just meant to be there. The perfect bird house will be less noticed than the flawed one. (I have built perfect bird houses)

Anyway, I am working on training my mind to think in a new way. I am adding new categories for the compartmentalization of information. As I do this I am noticing interesting results. For example, if the new coffee barista is making drinks to slow, the natural tendency is to complain, or give a dissatisfied look. This does not help the problem at all, and in fact, it can make the problem worse since the barista has even more introverted attention on her mistakes. So instead, try making a joke, or loudly comment on how good the music is. Just watch what happens. People may not realize why they all felt so good in the coffee shop, but they will know why they felt bad, for the bad is mental stickiness.

Let your mind sort out your own observations, perceptions, knowledge, opinions that relate to key definitions or topics. With the purpose of sharing what you know, comes a fuller use of your mental capacity.

words and the mind

Words play a big part in the mind’s power to sort information, observations, conclusions and ideas.. A word is designed to convey a thought; significance; concept. One thing that the mind does is align it’s data according to words, or concepts.

Ice cream, for example, is a simple word. The mind can align senses, memories, and ideas about this subject and bring them all up to the surface with the use of “I want ice cream”

Sometimes important words go unnoticed, and undefined; this can result in the unawareness of some zone of understanding.

Republic, for example, is probably not widely understood. Definition: A state or nation in which the supreme power rests in all the citizens entitled to vote.Aaron Russo gives some stellar examples of this, check out his interview.

perspectives

They come at all times of the day. The perspectives that I offer are my perspectives. They are not designed to be agreed with, or become popular. My perspectives are really just my perspectives. So if you ask for my perspective, you will get my perspective, and I’ll go out of my way to share them.

perspective- directing attention

It’s great to be able to write about whatever I think of! Cool! This way nobody has to hear my thoughts. One of the things I’ve been thinking about recently is the subject in the title.

This is what you could call, being cause over being cause. Why did I have to bring that up…. Ah well. What I noticed was that when I perceive others and what they have to offer, I am being the effect. Whenever i pay attention to anyone I’m being the effect. And the reverse is true, whenever anyone perceives you or what you have to offer, you’re being cause. Ok, so if you know that then you can be causative over your causativeness. RAD!

I try to notice what’s around me, it’s in my nature. One of those things I notice is advertisements. Many times advertisements just throw out all kinds of message, in hopes that they will direct people’s attention well enough to take all the necessary actions to then buy their product. That hasn’t really worked on me, but what I do notice is how advertisements direct attention. Since I’m being the complete effect I might as well savor it right?

There is an art to directing attention. I really started to notice this in public speakers. A public speaker can just let the words roll out and at the same time let their audience fall asleep- or they can keep people alert and very interested by the way they are able to direct people’s attention artfully.

Here’s how a professional looks at anything: ‘how can this be bettered?’ That is so neat. I pointed out a sagging doorway to a contractor friend the other day, and he just looked, figured out what going on, and finally said, “That shouldn’t do that.” He was thinking in terms of an ideal (best situation), and the current doorway under inspection didn’t fit the ideal. Had I pointed that out to someone else on the street they might have said, “It’s probably just old.” Think of your own examples on this.

The reason I brought up the professional tidbit is that you can assume a professional viewpoint on anything, even if you’re not a professional in that area. All you have to do is think, ‘how can this be bettered.’ So, in the case of directing attention, you can take notice of what you observe and you might start to see the full scale. On one hand you’ll notice what you don’t want to observe and why, on the other hand you’ll notice what is pleasing to observe and how well it directs your attention.

I do this with web sites very often. I will notice where my attention goes. Sometimes I really enjoy the path in which my attention travels if there is an artist behind the scene. Many times I don’t like what I see or can’t comprehend stuff rapidly enough. When that’s the case I’ll want to leave that site, but before I do, I take a really close look at how it could be bettered, and where they went awry.

perspective- the blind man

Interesting- I heard that people that loose certain physical senses have other senses increase as a result or out of necessity.

Actually- I remember befriending a blind man that told me this very thing. I noticed him very carefully and it appearing that he was extremely aware of his surroundings. Or, perhaps he was just a big fan of the Doors, which I had playing non stop in my room, as I watched him wander around the fireplace, brush his fingers along the piano keys and gracefully stand in the hallway in front of my room with his ears seemingly more elevated than the top of his head.

A curiosity about this phenomenon resided in the back row of my mind ever since I met the guy about 16 years ago.

Today, as I was driving through the hot and dusty streets of Sun Valley (aka hell), I remembered a few sparkly moments from the Mendoza trip of which I partook.

If you don’t already know, Mendoza is in Argentina. Argentina is in South America. And South America doesn’t speak a hell of a lot of English. And just so you know, I can’t look up words in Spanish fast enough to converse with any normality.

Just like the blind guy was a fan of the Doors, I’m a big fan of meaningful conversations.

The foreign language was my handicap. The other perception that increased out of necessity was the telepathy. But much different than reading someone’s mind, which is boring. What I noticed was the telepathic conversations would be two way in some cases.

These are the best type of conversations in existence. See, words are very limited. Being able to use the exact words that convey what you’re trying to convey can be tricky. Also, the mental machinery that is used to process words tends to get in the way of true understanding.

Without words, the conversation is direct and it is totally honest. It’s also instantaneous and, now here is where you might call me strange: the location of the conversation exists in space. It’s actually quite a wake up call to who you really are when you find that you just bypassed physical sound waves, as well as your mental machinery.

The point I’m getting at, and the point that I have been meaning to get at for a while, is that the heightened awareness that comes about when your blind, or can’t speak a language, is always there.

Let’s say you get use to walking with crutches, even though there was nothing wrong with your leg. Your legs could walk by themselves, but you’re just so used to walking with crutches that you don’t try.

All of a sudden you become handicapped when the bully steals your crutches. So, out of necessity to get home and eat meatloaf, you learn how to walk.

People’s perceptions seem to be quite vast when you take samples from various parts of the land. You may hear about all kinds of weird and unbelievable stuff.

Here is the main point:
Just as a baby will get burned for the first time, just as the blind man may nearly get hit by a car as he learns to cross the street, and just as you may seem like an idiot and fail while trying to communicate with someone of another language, you will be asserting your native abilities as you try.

Now I am going to go swimming… and with my eyes shut and my nose plugged as jump off the diving board!!!

continuously remind everybody

Everything does not need to be so darn serious. Attention does not always stick to the good, it passes right on by. Attention sticks to the bad, to the mystery. Sometimes the most effective and simple solutions in life are ignored, while the complex and expensive solutions, or problems are churned endlessly.

The people of power like to stay in power and that is sometimes confused with the erroneous concept of withholding truth or freedoms. The examples are out there, and this false solution has been unknowingly accepted amongst many people in the society. There are simple, self evident truths that avail themselves when people change their observation patterns.

It can be hard work to keep people (and one’s self) focused on the flippant truth when group think goes rampant.

Individuals hold the truth. People that try and fail may sink into an apathetic agreement, but with a little kick, a little example, an individual’s real purposes can be brought back to life.

do not worry – it is ineffective

exemplary people

(There are many on my list, but these guys are really up there)

Joke (Yoka) She has been an incredible teacher. She helped restore my power of choice.
Norma (mom). She granted me more freedom than I could ever ask for. She has been the ultimate creative role model. I know no other that has topped such genuine kindness.
Diane (mom #2) She has given so much in terms of help, and given that help so freely that words can not even explain.
James (big bro) He has continuously sparked my enthusiasm for great things. His constant attitude that everything is a game is an attitude that I often try to mimic.
Dennis (dad #2) He constantly works as a freedom fighter and researcher. He has done an incredible job of bringing up my little bother solo.
Nick (N.j.) He has been an incredible example of someone who can think huge. Hitting barriers has only made his intention to bring tremendous help to the people even greater.
Ron (L.r.h.) Though I don’t know him, he has restored my life, and rescued me from a flushing toilet. He has also been teaching me to fly.
Carl. He barely made it on the list due to a short time span, but the scale tipped when he promoted an idea so simple, so unpopular, yet so powerful that it re-ignited my primary purpose.

What do these people have in common? They are all part of the solution.

I can’t even begin to imagine myself without these influences, although I can imagine what the world would be like with these more influences like these. Whoever can, does, or wants to make a positive impact in the lives of others is who I intend to help- there are bigger waves in bigger oceans.

inspiration that motivates

Causing things is great! I know that is a broad statement and it’s intended to be. Causing things is something we all have in common because we all do it.
Being the effect has its upsides too! My favorite thing when it comes to being an effect is not the taste of an intensely juicy orange, or the thrill of jumping from a plane with a parachute on my back- it’s being inspired, inspired by individuals that make a difference.
There have been times I have given and given and given. It’s in my nature. An imbalance occurred when it seemed like the giving was only one way. In truth, I know there are many people that have desires and take action to make a difference. Well, I want to make those desires and actions known.
I know I’m not the only one that finds inspiration to be of incredible value.
A friend of mine, Carl Watts, started promoting 3 short youtube videos. He called this campaign, ’save the world’ and promoted it on his website. I got a pretty good idea of where he was going with this campaign before I even watched a video. Instantly a new website expanding on the concept popped into my head, and I stayed up all night making it. See, causing things is great; it makes you stay up past your bedtime.
I did end up watching the videos, and after I sobbed for a couple minutes I decided I would invite you to sign up on the site. That’s now.
You will be doing me a great favor and potentially many others by taking a moment to do so. First check out the site, and then help me tap into the power of inspiration.
If you find any of this interesting or helpful please forward this letter or the link. If you have ideas or suggestions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am very interested in creating the most optimum place for inspiring others into action- (it’s something others have done for me and I am now paying forward)
See the videos.

rules of the help factory

I give help on my terms only. You can make suggestions, ask, or in some way procure my participation; that’s easy, but the biggest help that I give is the help I choose to give (The type that you are probably not aware of).

You can ask me for help at any time, but you will be more likely to ask for my help if you help me first, or you already have given help to others. (This is based from experience and the nature of flows. Pouring a little coffee out of the cup so that you can pour some cream into it is an example. Another: help can’t flow down a clogged drain. Another: A hose will not flow if the effort to turn the valve has not been exerted. If you need help in life, try helping someone else first; see what happens)

friends

my role as a friend
I’m not always there to hang out, I don’t always answer your call, but when I consider you my friend, I will silently search for ways to help you, and when I find the optimum method, I will go out of my way to make it happen.

who my friends are
Basically the positive, contributing folk.
My friends are those that seek to keep an even balance of exchange between themselves and their surrounding environment. They give back.
My friends are those that can still tell the difference between their own individuality/ideals, and group think.
I make enormous mistakes and learn even bigger lessons. People that drop me when I am down and ask for help when I am up aren’t really good friends. A real friend can see who I am and they don’t assume otherwise.

Note: I am sorry if any bridges got burned in the past. I ensure you that I did not intend that to happen. It was probably just a weak and flimsy bridge to start with, susceptible to earthquakes and fires by design. Concrete and rebar is now available, so let’s build stronger bridges.

help factory architecture

The engineering and architectural plans are still underway. The main focus at this time is the energy systems that will need to be in place for a fully functioning factory.

Energy requirements:
The first focus is efficiency. The energy costs cannot be more expensive than the product. For this reason it is important to ensure that energy is not wasted and make sure that the energy that is used, creates an equal return.

Did you tally up the totals from the game above? If not, tally up the totals of any ideas that you considered helpful. Example: 2 good ideas.

This is where efficient alternative energy solutions come into play. Multiply the number by how many people you would like to help. Example: 2 good ideas x 100 people = 200

Now we have 200 energy credits. What do we do with 200 energy credits?

Because the help factory is quite large, we can now decide which sectors should be powered first. Here are some options:
-Send out this webpage to 200 people.
-Write your own message of help using 200 words.
-Supply money to the contractor to continue construction donating $200 for material costs.

Here are some notes from the contactors involved:
“Consider donating a few dollars to help on website costs. helpsavetheworld.net site was out of my pocket, as well as other cool sites that are underway.” –J.B.

“Sponsor my posts. This drives me to discover better solutions, and promote them better via writing. This option entails determining a money value for every page view of the articles I write. Let’s say .05cents per view. Like I said above, I do not want to have advertisers. The necessity of writing comes from the actual projects researched and carried out. Help happens- I document it.” -J.B.

“The ‘projects being pursued’ needs energy backing. There are many solutions that I know of. There are many more that I don’t. My intention is to keep a look out for the most effective organizations and projects, contribute to these organizations and projects, and consult others in the investments that yield the highest returns. For this option, please contact me for further information on current projects.” -me

my purpose

To communicate, educate and help in the largest way I possibly can, and to promote and assist others with the same purpose.

my job

My job is to help others remove their self imposed barriers to happiness and assistance in working toward their purpose.

others

Here are some exemplary people.

Rodney Josephson

I have started a mission to save humanity to supply the tools and education to provide mission statements for people so that they have a goal in life. This is a universal concept, and by applying the idea in a neutral way based on ethical principles, we can achieve greatness for all life…because we have a road map to success.

Kasia Pawluskiewicz

I am a painter and sculptor, so I help inspire people around me to find the magic in their environment and take time from their hectic lives of doing doing doing and for a little bit just being there enjoying, appreciating life and the things around them. I am also twelve years sober from Narcotics, and thanks to Narconon, I am educated now as well in helping others off drugs. With a high level of confront and willingness to help people get off drugs which can be rather ugly, I make a difference by doing something about it one on one. Bring it on!
Ryan Murphy

I make music and write not just cliche love songs or about how cool I am and all the bling I wear, but about subjects that raise peoples awareness of themselfs and other situations that need to be addressed on this planet in order to bring about a higher state of existence for all mankind.

Become a part of the solution.

help factory franchise

Let’s cut through the weeds so that we can see the roses. If you are interested in starting your own help factory, I’m here for you. Here is how you do it.

Stop pretending. Find out who you really are. Any dreams that might have been lost amongst the confusion and complexity of the ‘real world’ need to be brought to the surface. Nothing else is as important than your ideals, purposes and goals.

Find someone to talk to. This can be someone standing in line at the check out, it could be a friend you don’t talk to much, someone you met online, or just pick someone out of the phone book and give them a buzz.

Example from earlier today: I went to Starbucks like I normally do. I found two two people to talk to, the first was a friend whom I don’t often talk to, and the second was a complete stranger.

Find out about the person in front of you. This is where you actually communicate to the person you just found.

Example from earlier today: I said this to the friend: “Hey Matt, what is it that you want in life; what are you hoping to achieve?” He didn’t really know, but after a lengthy conversation, I could see that the question was really on his mind. Next, I engaged the complete stranger in conversation, and after a bit I said something like, “Hey Phil, what is it that you need and want as a spiritual being?”. Well, Phil definitely had answers. They were pretty specific, but to sum it up, it was to travel and help students learn, but he had some barriers. so we move on to the next step.

Now, go ahead and make yourself known. This is where you tell all about yourself and what you do. It helps to have the ‘stop pretending’ step completed and out of the way.

Example from earlier today: because my friend was thinking about the first question still, I couldn’t really get into this step. But Phil, the stranger, had answers, so I went ahead and made myself known, “Well Phil, my job is to help you achieve that. (I told him about the help factory) One of the ways I can help is by creating your own help factory and promoting you, your solutions, and expanding the help you give while being able to travel. Etc” Phil’s is jazzed.

Make it happen. This is where you get into action and deliver according to what is needed and wanted.

Example: I have to get into action now, thank you for reading everybody. There are other factories that must be built according to schedule; sorry, got to go.

(Other franchise models exist, but lets break the rules and start one that is truly successful)
