Invisible as it may be, our Habit Body is our very best friend. It records and remembers every daily routine so our waking mind doesn't have to relearn every daily habit all over again, every morning, when we wake up. Habits are reactivity set on automatic, behavior conditioned to repeat. As Richard Bandler of NLP says, "human beings learn thru forming habits" (online book promotion video 2011 for his 2008 book, Get the Life You Want). The phrase “habit body” enables much more direct address to habits we wish to access and upgrade. Upgrading dysfunctional habits on any level, is a sturdy definition of personal-spiritual growth. Why we have a habit body According to the Three Selves model, by design the human psyche revolves around you, the conscious self. The idea is to free up your attention so you can apply it to making healthy decisions and more conscious choices in life. If you had to also breathe consciously, also blink your eyes consciously, also digest your food consciously—you would have virtually no time to think thru the complex decisions and choices life presents us with. Our habit body frees the conscious self to spend more of its time and energy thinking, planning, navigating, deciding and choosing. A habit body, a lower helper self, is a good deal for us, so when faced with repetitive situations, like tying our shoe laces or washing the baby, we can respond today and tomorrow, the same way we responded yesterday, without having to think thru every detail each time. Our habit body excuses our waking, conscious self from “re-inventing the wheel” every day. Origins The origins of the idea of a habit body probably go back to Buddhism, probably in connection with the Tibetan Book of the Dead. Clairvoyant observations were evidently recorded of a body of habits continuing on independently, for a short time, after the death of individuals. The phrase “habit body” resurfaces in modern times after the convergence of NLP and muscle testing. By 1990 interested lay persons and practitioners were enabled, with practice, to navigate to, identify and address, invisible habits, on any level PACME. Your Habit Body, An Owner's Manual did not appear until 2010. The habit body is clearly synonymous with the inner child from the 1970s-1980s. “Habit body” simply reframes the topic, shifting the focus to how 90% to 95% of our behavior is based on habits, as Bruce Lipton suggests in his videos in 2011 and ongoing. Clearly the therapeutic uses of addressing the habit body directly are manifold. Ways to address the habit body directly The habit body can be addressed directly thru the following methods: - Gestalt two chairs technique. Less skill is needed to experiment with this. - Self-muscle-testing, kinesiology testing, including dowsing. More skill is needed to experiment with this. Changing habits using the habit body model Direct therapeutic altering, modifying, upgrading and redirecting of habits is possible, given sufficient muscle testing and counseling expertise. 'Always use love all ways' is the recommended context when exploring the habit body as this is the firmware of human beings. If you break something—you're responsible. Deliberately altering and upgrading habits is performed successfully primarily by trained and skilled practitioners with extensive counseling training and high emotional IQ. Both Gestalt and NLP caution “inner ecology” is a real consideration and must be acknowledged, checked for and worked with for safe and effective change work. Anatomy of the habit body In an apparent paraphrase of Rudolf Steiner, we can say: Virtually everything making us truly human is invisible. For example our values are invisible. Honesty, forgiveness and curiosity are all invisible. To paraphrase NLP, what makes us most truly human “cannot be carried in a wheelbarrow.” Like many aspects of being fully human, habits while invisible, are highly patterned and conditioned; therefore, habits are "visible" to thinking. We have habits on three levels of consciousness simultaneously: conscious <=> subconscious <=> unconscious This suggest how two-thirds of our habit body is NOT fully conscious. In the first few pages of Study of Man (1919) Rudolf Steiner observed how the human psyche is spread out over a range, over a continuum of frequency. Waking <=> dreaming <=> sleeping This threefold model suggests how we have habits on three frequency levels: Waking ~ We are most awake in our minds, eyes, face and hands. There is little here we are NOT aware of in these areas, while awake. Habits active here include how we talk, chew food, do our homework, housework and other deliberate tasks, decisions and choices. Examples of conscious habit are paying the rent, taking the kids to school. In these habits we are most awake, have the most wakefulness; therefore, the most ability to make choices and alter our own habits. Conscious habits take the least effort to change and upgrade. Dreaming ~ we are dreaming in our blood, skin, muscles and digestive organs. We are partly aware of them, partly unawares. Habits active here include most of our sensory channels, especially the five animal senses and our kinesthetic sense of well-being. We "dream" here. We never fully know how we see; we never fully grasp HOW we feel what we feel. We can only take these percepts in, assemble them according to our habits, and call this reality. In this Steiner is very close to thinkers proposing "we dream our reality;" and to General Semantics-NLP, which proposes what we call "reality" is no more nor less than our habitual way of assembling sense percepts into sense-memory-constructs we can engage and interact with. Sleeping ~ we are most asleep in our bones and small intestine. These are organs that work best far apart from the rapid change and choice-making of the waking mind. Habits active here include blood cell formation, nutrient assimilation, tissue-building. Examples of SUBconscious habits are how we dream at night, how much feeling we can consciously tolerate, how we feel about ourselves, other people, the world and God. We are less awake here; therefore, we have less ability to make choices and changes here. These habits take considerable effort to change, upgrade and purify. Mostly SUBconscious issues can be addressed in talk therapy and increasingly in muscle testing sessions. Examples of UNconscious habits are who we think we are, and basically all assumptions about what is real about ourselves, other people, the world and God. In these habits we are least awake, least conscious; therefore, we have the least ability to make choices and these habits take the greatest effort to upgrade. Without Grace, these habits typically take years to change, upgrade and purify. Deeply UNconscious are very difficult to addresses directly without direct clairvoyant perception and/or with muscle testing. Examples of UNconscious habits are closely integrated with “who we think we are.” Unconscious habits are closely integrated with all our assumptions about what is real in ourselves, other people, the world and about God. In our unconscious habits we are least awake, least conscious, with least ability to make choices and changes. These habits take the greatest effort to alter. Without Grace, these habits can take years to change, upgrade and purify. Navigating to UNconscious habits require either direct clairvoyant perception or muscle testing and usually some of both. Since these parts are frequently inarticulate in the extreme, muscle testing is one of the very few options for learning about and communicating with them. Mostly SUBconscious issues can be addressed in talk therapy; including, the whole area of [[Games People Play]] and Scripts People Live. Less awareness-harder to change the habit. Habits existing in delta brain wave frequency are the deepest and require considerable effort to acknowledge, address, change, upgrade and purify. How new habits form Each new behavior, learning to ride a bike or cook an omelet, requires a training period, where approximations are encouraged and intelligence is gathered about what works and what does not. Intelligence on the new behavior is transferred and conveyed from the conscious self to the basic self in the following way. When a new behavior is approximated for the first time, for instance as a child putting the cap back on the toothpaste, this intelligence sinks down in frequency, away from the conscious mind, and towards the frequency of the body and unconscious. This is by design. If the new learned behavior is accessed at least occasionally, it endures. Now we call this “a habit” and we don’t have to think--or think very little about--about performing it. The sum total of all these learned behaviors is our “habit body.” How to change a habit To change a habit, the prerequsite is willingness to change or heal. Willingness to heal is worth assessing at the outset. Only habits we have high willingness to heal are worth the effort to address and attempt a shift. With at least minimal willingness to heal, small changes, consistently applied, over time, can alter, adjust and migrate any habit from point A to point B. Tho force and coercion will work, to dominate, oppress and control is the least effective approach because it creates new additional issues to clear later. As in childcare, the most effective approach is the nurturing parent, kind counselor who also demonstrates healthy boundaries and healthy self-discipline. “Habiting” per NLP and William Glasser As both NLP and William Glasser, author of Choice Theory suggest, many nouns are more usefully viewed as verbs, as a process. The noun we call a “habit” is more usefully viewed as a process: habiting. We go thru life “habiting” new behaviors. We assemble a new set of behaviors; such as, how to bake a cake from scratch, how to prune fruit trees, etc. Over time, with repetition, the basic self picks up the sequence and in time, it becomes more and more automatic. We automate our own behavior, transferring and delegating simple tasks to our "invisible butler." By the time we are five years old, we have thousands of routines and behaviors, including language, lodged in the sub- and unconscious as habits. Welcome to your habit body. Habits compared with "stimulus response" One of the few things left standing from the earliest days of experimental psychology, is Pavlov’s stimulus-response (S-R) experiments with dogs. S-R proposes when something is done to us, we react. It says we always react because something is done to us. If we feel cold, we move closer to the fire. If we are hungry we move towards food. If we are punished for stealing from the cookie jar, we stop stealing. If we are driving and we see a red stop-light, we stop. Behaviorism (1920s-1950s) took this up and ran with it, proposing the entire human psyche must be reduced to cause and effect, stimulus and response. The idea that the human psyche could and should be reduced to mere external causes prompting internal reactions, was a foundation of 19th and 20th century scientific-materialism. S-R made a profound impact on the formulation of both factory production, learning theory; and thenceforth to efforts to centralized and standardize public K-12 education, in the early decades of the 20th century. Skinner was not fond of Freud's innovations. Skinner wanted something much more radical. He disliked the abstractions “desire,” “goals,” “pleasure” and “values.” He found these “soft” ideas unscientific. Skinner broke through the navel-gazing of 18th and 19th century European philosophy to a much more direct approach in psychology. He limited psychology to the realm of the sensory, the tangible, the objective and the measurable. In the early 20th century, we can surmise Skinner was rebelling against the sometimes vague, sometimes patently subjective, sometimes idiosyncratic and sometimes absurd definitions and explanations for mental-emotional activity, common in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. Skinner's approach was counterpoint to the fuzzy moral abstractions of politically powerful churches in the two centuries preceding him. Skinner rode the pendulum swing of the early 20th century, away from both religious preaching and moralizing and the fuzzy abstractions of early psychology. He rode the pendulum back towards objective, external sense-based thinking. In this he prompted a lot of useful new rigor in the “soft sciences.” William Glasser takes on B. F. Skinner and rectifies “choice” William Glasser is the chief refuter of Skinner and places choice above reactivity as determiner of our behavior. William Glasser takes on Skinner and operant conditioning head-on in his Choice Theory [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choice_theory]. Glasser says, yes, we do respond to pain and pleasure. However the tail does not wag the dog. Take driving a car and stopping at the red light. It’s intellectually dishonest to say, 'The light turns red, so we stop the car.' The light does not come into the car and move the pedals to stop the car. It does not. The environment does not control us to this extent. We stop at the red light because we do not wish to get a ticket; we do not wish to have an accident. We stop the car because we don't want the consequences for breaking rules. We choose to stop at the light. In driver training, if not earlier, we learned stopping at a red light on a busy street was by far our best choice (paraphrase from Choice Theory and classroom conversation with Glasser at CSUDH, 1990). Reactivity, habits, choice--how about all three? Skinner was correct: reactivity is real and highly determinant. Pavlov’s dogs really do salivate at food; and, at bells for food, if trained this way. Glasser was correct too: choice trumps reactivity any time we make that choice and follow thru with our intention to change behavior. Useful contrast exists between reactivity, choice and habits. The consequences of reactivity are greater than choice in the realm of walking into a bakery or a kitchen with delicious food cooking. The consequences of choice are greater than of habits and reactivity in the realm of therapy, self-healing and personal-spiritual growth. Bertrand Babinet points out unnecessary reactivity is our chief obstacle to personal-spiritual growth (Healing the Inner Family, 1997).

Your Habit Body, An Owner’s Manual Our Habit Body is our best and closest friend. It remembers every routine thing we do daily--so we don't have to relearn all our habits all over again each day. Habits are reactivity set on automatic, behavior conditioned to repeat. If this is so, how come the one thing human beings do better than anything else is to make the same mistake over and over and over again? Based on results, we don't know as much about our habit body as people think. An easier model of our unconscious A "habit body" is an easier, clearer concept than "unconscious." A habit body connotes " I can change this, if I want to." The word "Unconscious" was born 100 years ago when the unconscious was virtually inacessible. Since muscle testing met NLP around 1990, our unconscious became much more accessible, for those who wish access. So we need a more accessible word and model for our unconscious. We have habits on five personality levels: physical, imaginal, emotional, mental and unconscious.  How are they organized?  How do we keep all our habits organized so when we wake up in the morning, we don’t have to relearn everything?  Personal-spiritual growth is upgrading our habits on any of these levels. Sound like a lot to manage? This makes your job easier, the missing manual for anyone who owns a Habit Body. We used to say, “He who doesn't know his history is doomed to repeat it.” We can say more precisely, “Whoever neglects their habit body will have the same behaviors and results tomorrow, as they did yesterday.”  Find answers here: • Why we were more lovable when we were young • Every day we are “training a new puppy” • Why 90% of habits are invisible in 3D • A dozen common terms for the “habit body.” Garrison Keillor says, “Culture is what you know is so by age 12.” ALL culture can be seen as just a bunch of habits, including your own. Once you can see it, you can redirect it. 78 pages. ------------------------------------- Self-Healing 101! Eight exercises to develop self-sensitivity & self-trust so you can talk with your immune system Where will you begin your self-healing? Did you ever wish you could get your own answers to your own questions? Feeling safe, feeling comfortable and asking permission to test are where we all need to begin. Safety also includes deliberately aligning our selves with Love, Light and Angels. Eight simple exercises in self-sensitivity and self-trust lead you to friendship and conversation with your Silent Partner, your Inner Healer, the matured-up inner child. People can do much more self-healing than even recently thought. If you are motivated, most people can learn to self-test in about an hour if training focuses on the strategies of safety, self-sensitivity and self-trust. Eight simple exercises in self-sensitivity, self-trust and self-protection lead you to friendship and conversation with the "bigger you," starting with your immune system. With practice you can learn to grasp how to use your body and your senses as the "bridge" between your two minds. When you do, you have your own unique, personal, invidualized communication with your immune system. Awakening the Inner Healer is easier than ever now that we know how to slow down and begin with self-sensitivity, self-trust and self-protection. We also know NOT to begin self-healing with the old onlooker-observer science nor on auras and chakras. The new participatory science, popular since the 1970s, says to slow down and base self-healing on self-sensitivity, self-trust, self-permission and self-protection. Practice self-testing and you can quickly build to talking with your own immune system. Self-healing now must base itself and rely on what is true in 'the domain of one person.' Included are eight original simple exercises for lay persons, healers and coaches about FEELING SAFE to try new things, permission to feel, permission to think, permission to match feelings and thoughts; and, permission to ask Love, Light and Angels to be your Partners in all your testing. The common factors for success at Touch for Health, NLP, Theta Healing, Psych-K, and especially PTS Master program, are self-sensitivity, self-trust and Love, Light and Angels.  From this foundation, teaching any method-technique, including self-muscle-testing is a cinch. Written for lay persons, coaches and practitioners of energy healing and energy medicine. Success at Intuitive development training needs to be measured by whether students trust their own test results three weeks after training ends.  Do they?  If not, permissions and safety were not addressed adequately.  40,000 words 179 p. in 6x9 format. ------------------------------------ Rudolf Steiner’s Fifth Gospel in Story Form One of the wonderful experiences of my Waldorf teacher training was in a comfy living room, reading aloud Rudolf Steiner’s Fifth Gospel transcripts, with a group of friends, round-robin style, a paragraph at a time. We read a chapter each night over the 12 Days of Christmas. If you've done this, you may also have felt the pull to draw closer to this material. I certainly did. The object of the present volume is to increase enjoyment for fans of the original lecture transcripts and for use in read-aloud study groups over end-of-year holidays. Dr. Steiner’s aim was to update the biography of Jesus of Nazareth, in light of the expanded intellectual understanding of karma and reincarnation accomplished in the West since 1880. The imaginative capacity of humankind, our increased ability to process metaphor, demonstrated by Depth Psychology and Carl Jung, makes possible this portrait of Jesus of Nazareth and what he transformed into. RS's Fifth Gospel remains the most psychologically astute portrait of Jesus of Nazareth this author is aware of. An unexpected function of Rudolf Steiner's Fifth Gospel is to assist persons who have lost the thread of connection with their own Christ consciousness. The Fifth Gospel is an opportunity to pick up their own thread again, and follow it. It heals many immature and plain innaccurate ideas about Jesus of Nazareth, still the most psychologiclaly mature portrait of Jesus I know of. Rudolf Steiner lectured several times, in several cities, on a body of information, apparently in the Akashic Records, regarding the life of Jesus of Nazareth. According to him, what he found there was a series of “story book images” apparently quite closely and faithfully approximating children's Sunday School images of the life of Christ and also by some stained glass images of the Stations of the Cross. If you know Steiner, you won't be surprised to hear he went further to peer into, behind, under and round these facades and first penetrate this inner reality and then articulate it in modern langauge for modern minds. Steiner's lecture transcripts of these investigations were published verbatim in a book called The Fifth Gospel, but this basic clairvoyant research was never compiled nor edited, except for verbatim accuracy. In no way was any attention paid to building a mood. Several additional unpublished lecture transcripts, in typescript form, were also known to exist and may still be available to public from specialized libraries. ALL these are here collated into a single chronological narrative in Rudolf Steiner's Fifth Gospel In Story Form. Supporting and bridging material to the narrative is drawn from Emil Bock’s The Three Years to fill in some gaps. PS: Rudolf Steiner Press tells me in 2012 that another version of Fifth Gospel material in chronological form was composed in Australia but I am unable to find it online. Readers can feel free to share its whereabouts if known. If you respond to this book, the rest of Emil Bock's books may also be of interest. Topics include: Inner experience of the disciples at Pentecost. The two Jesus children, tradition of and evidence for. Contribution of the Buddha to the Luke Jesus child. The shepherds see the astral body of Buddha. ------------------------------------- Meridian Metaphors, Psychology of the Meridians and Major Organs Did you ever wonder how the basic self tracks and manages our mental-emotional activity? Ever think Chinese Medicine had some good ideas about how psychology and the body connect--but that much was missing? Now anyone can work either forwards or backwards, between disturbed organs and meridians on one hand; and, disturbed mental-emotional states on the other hand. All descriptions begin with healthy function. Disturbances are further categorized by under- and overcharge conditions. This is an 80 page handbook-manual. Each of 14 sections provides comprehensive psychological language for - Which meridian-organ absorbs which emotions, - HEALTHY expressions of each meridian and associated organ, - Disturbed expressions of each meridian and associated organ, - UNDERcharged disturbed expressions of each meridian - OVERcharged disturbed expressions of each meridian. Earlier literature is rectified. An AXIS OF DYSFUNCTION is proposed for each meridian-organ. Includes the myths and metaphors of under- overcharged organs-meridians condensed from Psychological Kinesiology plus much new material from other clinical practitioners. Finally it’s possible to move easily from meridian dysfunction and organ to psyche dysfunction; and, move easily from psychic dysfunction to meridian and organ dysfunction. 22,000 words  80 page manual, 8 x10” --------------------------------------- “Willingness to heal is the pre-requisite for all healing” This quote from Bertrand Babinet begins an exploration of: - Willingness to change - Willingness to serve - Willingness to love - Willingness to live. If you can measure any one of these, you can measure any of them. Any of these can be measured with self-muscle-testing, dowsing or kinesiology testing of any kind; ideally, with 'God as your Partner.' Now anyone can pick a concern they wish to heal and measure their own willingness to heal on a simple scale of 1-10, using any and all kinds of kinesiology testing, K-testing. Willingness to heal is the key to aligning and integrating the three selves.  Willingness is where the whole topic of the 3S leads.  What do infants have? Willingness. When we are born, A happy new baby’s behavior is primarily willingness. It is not "will;" it is not "willfulness;" we certainly do not have "will power." As healthy babies, we exhibit willingness; Divine Receptivity. This is what we are trying to get back to as adults on any path of personal-spiritual growing. Have clients?  The effectiveness of any energetic session, in any modality, can be estimated AHEAD OF TIME, with surprising accuracy--before you begin working!  Practitioners in any and all modalities, are encouraged to measure willingness to heal FIRST!  Willingness is only half a topic, one edge of a two-edged sword. The other half is reactivity. All of us reacting too rapidly to life, our outer life out of balance with the inner half of life, our inner awareness. Wrangling and reducing our excess reactivity, is the greatest asset and first order of business in personal-spiritual growth. Just like on a see-saw or teeter-totter, as either reactivity or willingness goes up―the other goes down. NOTE ~ This booklet assumes readers are familiar with self-muscle-testing or dowsing of some kind; preferably, with ‘God as my Partner.’ --------------------------------------- You Have Three Selves; Simplest, clearest model of the Whole Person Volume ONE, Orientation The Three Selves is the simplest model of the whole person yet proposed. It explicitly incorporates the natural spiritual capacities of human beings. The High Self stands for how each individual does—or does not—connect with their own aspirations and Divinity. These two volumes show the strong natural connections between the 3S and: - Emotional IQ, - Compassionate (nonviolent) Communication, - psychotherapy and body-based psychotherapies, - coaching and counseling, talk therapy of all kinds, - Transactional Analysis, - NLP and Brief Therapy. The inner child, the "lowest" of the three selves, is already the world's most widely used model of the subconscious, used by teachers, coaches, counselors and holistic practitioners of all kinds. The "Three Selves" is the modern, completely Western version of Hawaiian shamanism, Huna, Kahuna and Ho'oponopono. This is the first comprehensive textbook so far attempted. Written in an interactive, fun style by a Waldorf-trained school teacher and Health Intuitive. In brief the model proposes: 1) A low self, a lower frequency "helper being," known by many names: inner child, immune system, etheric body, habit body, etc. 2) A "middle self," the familiar rational mind, either thinking-dominant or feeling dominant; and 3) A high self, a higher frequency "helper being" often called the Guardian Angel, who provides access to the spiritual potentials of the human experience on an as-needed basis. Strengths of the model The Three Selves model is comprehensive in its embrace of all things human, top to bottom, modeling both “wings to fly,” in ecumenical spiritual terms; and, "roots in the Earth,” our most earthbound and material aspects. The model scales down easily to versions possible to share with five year olds. It can be grasped in its entirety by college sophomores Thanks to its Hawaiian roots, both prohibitively esoteric and overly-intellectual-abstractions are scrupulously avoided. The Three Selves is bout becoming more "real" in every sense, becoming more fully human. The model actively encourages loving your self first and service to others second. It is compatible with with Compassionate (nonviolent) Communication and Blueprint of WE. The 3S is the psychology of how we can heal ourselves; and, the human condition because the inner child is functionally equal to our immune system. The 3S model articulates with the entire range of 20th century humanistic talk-therapy practices; including, coaching, Transactional Analysis, NLP and Brief Therapy. The 3S is a candidate for the "big tent" in psychology, under which all other models of the psyche can be understood and have their unique contributions clarified and integrated. For example, the Three Selves bridges into and clarifies many “quantum science” ideas; for instance, the 3S exist as overlapping fields of intelligence, which quantum science is still looking for. The Three Selves and its better known fragment, the inner child, remains the fastest growing and most widely used holistic model of the human being at this time because of its versatility for counselors, healers, and therapists. The three selves model is the whole; the inner child is one part. Unlike other wordy New Age philosophies and psychology, the 3S has usually clear and direct visual models of what it means to connect with both Spirit and with Ground. The 3S explicitly incorporates all spiritual capacities of the human being. The High Self stands for how each individual does—or does not—connect with their own Divinity. Each of the Three Selves is accessible thru kinesiology testing and self-muscle-testing of all kinds. The Three Selves is FUN!

Using a simple quadrant system, it provides a close-up view of our “habit body,” the better, more timely, more accessible model of our unconscious. Gift sessions by phone or Skype are available from the author. Psychology researchers are especially invited to call for a gift session. Functional and dysfunctional memories, habits and behaviors, can be more precisely located and addressed with self-muscle-testing, kinesiology of any kind and all persuasions. Bertrand Babinet Inner Family (Babinetics.com) showed us our inner child and gut brain has four discernible quadrants. Each quadrant has a distinct and discernible character: Mother, Child, Grandparent, Father. This more nuanced view of the inner child is shown to be origin of Satir stress-response-stances, Satir's Family Systems wisdom. It transposes nicely to Arthurian Legend too. The four-fold Inner Court is up close and personal with your inner child, beyond what is possible with a unitary concept of the inner child. Strengths, weaknesses and issues are four times easier to locate. Activity and relative strength of each quadrant can easily be assessed and measured with kinesiology testing, muscle testing, of any kind. Further, our second brain, our cerebral brain, has its own four discernible quadrants; but, in different order and in a higher frequency, so to speak. Before puberty, the the four in the gut rule the four in the head. After puberty, the four in the head rule the four in the in the gut. The activity and relative strength of each quadrant can easily be assessed and measured with kinesiology testing, muscle testing, of any kind. The goal for each set of four is LOVING. This too can be measured in any relationship of any two characters. The relative activity and interaction of these eight quadrants models our personality and is suggested as the subconscious backdrop and origin of distinctions made in MBTI and virtually all other personality typology systems. Connections, similarities and differences of these systems become immediately more clear thru the lens of the Inner Court. More poetically, the Inner Court is a magic mirror reflecting your preferred memories, habits and behaviors more clearly. In our habit body they are the KEY ACTORS, acting out our habitual memories, habits, behaviors, routines and preferences. They are the “script writers,” script holders, “holding court,” determining our habitual memories, habits, behaviors, routines and preferences. Our likes-dislikes, strengths-weaknesses, functional-dysfunctional expressions, stuck places and addictions come to life in your unique expression fo each of these archetypes in you: body image, body posture, attire, accessories and so on. These insights have been tested by the author in client sessions since 2001. Soul is choice; nothing determines our personality―unless we allow it! However, we rely on the acquired habits of our Inner Court to suggest how to respond to life situations. If we do not change how we respond, we WILL respond in the habitual ways our Inner Court knows to respond. Say you are feeling bad. You can ask, "What's this about? Who inside me feels unresolved? Oh, it’s Guinevere! She feels rejected. Let’s see why she feels that way and what she needs." The present work associates the four quadrants with the much more nuanced characters of Arthurian Legend. These permit both deeper and higher insight into the four gut brain quadrants, beyond what is possible with mundane family designations. TWO Inner Courts is the inception of the difference between self-esteem and self-concept, between Conception Vessel and Governing Vessel. In the six possible relationships between the four archetypes, our personal failures, confusions and successes are expressed and can be easily diagramed towards understanding our behavior. The Inner Court makes obvious the strengths and weaknesses of many previous mysteries: - The promise of research on right and left brain is fulfilled here, - Personality typology in general is clarified, - The four brain chemicals correlate with typology systems, - The classic Supporter, Promoter, Analyzer, Controller typologies, - MBTI ideas of how personality is formed thru preferences, - Aristotle’s & Rudolf Steiner's four Temperaments, - The pioneering work of Katherine Benziger is honored, 116 p. 6x9” ------------------------------------------------ The NEW Energy Anatomy: Nine new views of human energy that don't require clairvoyance The Three Selves is simply the clearest, easiest map-model for the whole person.  Here’s the ILLUSTRATED handbook-manual-textbook of energy anatomy topics you would expect to complement the 3S.  The NEW Energy Anatomy is an easier, simpler, faster way to learn about human energy system compared to either chakra, auras or meridian systems; therefore, NEA is a better entry point for students developing sensitivity to human energy topics.  Each view is testable with kinesiology of any and all kinds. You be the judge! All models here are compatible with the Three Selves and will be of special interest to anyone who works with the more subtle levels of health concerns; including: - health and medical intuitives - Self-healers using K-testing, self-muscle testing, BodyTalk, Immunics, The Emotion Code, Touch for Health, MSS-DSS, etc. Physical anatomy is used by every effective energetic practitioner and self-healer.  When your target is invisible, as often true--the best map is invaluable!  Maps of chakras, auras, acupuncture points, and reflex points are common―and commonly confusing to students because they cannot be perceived directly without clairvoyance.  These nine simpler views replace the chakra system as a starting place for most students of human energy.  Each one is testable with kinesiology of any method.  See for yourself! Human energy is organized:  1)  Right and left in the body, yin & yang in the body. 2)  Top and bottom, enteric and cerebral nervous systems. 3)  Front and back, CV-GV, Clark Kent and Superman. 4)  As frequency, best viewed as four kinds of laughter! 5)  Our gut brain has two frequencies, divided top and bottom, feeling above (hey, hey hey!) and willingness below (ho, ho, ho!). 6)  Our inner child has four distinct quadrants, an Inner Court. 7)  We have a second Inner Court in our head. 8)  The back of our head is willingness to heal our past. 9)  Hip stability is a Ring of Loving you can strengthen. Other material includes the Law of Gentleness for healers, coaches & counselors.  These views prepare users for the subtle and unique details of each person's field by orienting readers to the location, placement and significance of much easier and effective reference points. 25,000 words 145 p. in 6x9 format. ------------------------------------- The Five Puberties, a Three Selves Journal on Children Growing new eyes to see children afresh is the goal of this booklet; specificlaly, growing new eyes to see actual, living stage-development in living being--including children. Children are viewed thru lenses seldom used, all from a Waldorf-informed perspective: - Body, posture and stories the body tells, - What animals and plants tell us about children, - How five puberties, when successful, leads to independent thinking. The natural connections between Waldorf stage-development model and the Three Selves are drawn. Finally, we survey progress made towards a functional typology of children's temperaments in Anthroposophy, MBTI and Katherine Benziger, providing some clarification and direction for fruitful study. The perplexing problem of how children's typology differs from adult typology, is brought close to resolution.  It builds on the earlier Three Selves volumes or can be read alone. ------------------------------------- Radical Cellular Wellness―Especially for Women Cell psychology for everyone; Radical Cell-Wellness--Especially for Women! Why cells get sick and how to help them Cellular awakening explained Finally a coherent Theory of Wellness and Illness; as well as, a Theory of How We Heal, for everyone―especially for women. Your cells are born healthy. Left on their own, cells remain healthy and reproduce perfectly.  Only external and internal pollution can interfere with cell health and reproduction.  If our cells are born healthy, each a happy Buddha Baby, why do we get sick? Cells only sicken from interference. If we leave aside environmental poisoning, deficiencies, injuries and accidents, the only other possible interference disturbing cells is internal; that is, mental-emotional. The various forms of internal and external pollution we allow- promote-create are discussed with an eye to solutions! ------------------------------------- How We Heal; and, Why do we get sick? It begins with a dialogue in comic book script format: Every-woman in a dialogue, talking with one of her own cells. Why every illness is a healing metaphor. A theory of Cellular Awakening, short version. Does healing happen primarily from the outside in or from the inside out? Your personal beliefs & myths about healing: #1: If we understand our problems, they will be healed. #2: If you donít know and donít understand, then you canít heal. #3: Personal-spiritual change takes a long time and is always a slow process. After all, you've had the problem for a long time. #4: If you've had a negative belief for a long time, it will take a long time to change. #5: If you change quickly, it must be superficial and not long lasting. #6: I canít change; ìThis is the way I am; Iíll always be this way.î #7: If you are middle-aged or older, it is too late to change. #8: Changing old behaviors and thought patterns is often difficult and painful, "No pain, no gain." Why is pain allowed? Why do I put up with so much pain in my body? What is the connection between pain and reactivity? How does reactivity pull us out of balance? Where is reactivity in my body? What's the connection between reactivity and my comfort zones? Can you help me see disease from Spirit's point of view? Why does the conventional health care system limit itself to only pathology? Is there nothing of value in conventional medical pathology for healing? What do I have to know to begin healing my self? But donít I need to know EVERYTHING before I can release? What are trapped emotions? How do I release them? Why won't God help me with my disease? How do I get the attention of a Benefactor in Spirit? Is this negativity coming into me or leaving or going out from me? 38 Is this a disturbance or a clearing? What can illness teach us? What can I learn from it? Where does disease come from? Is examining past lives foolish escapism? Why do you say, ìIf you can locate it, you can clear itî Why do you say, ìIf you can feel it, you can heal itî? Why does each of us heal so uniquely and use tools uniquely? What's the fastest, easiest way to clear up unresolved childhood or past life issues? How do we prevent illness? How do we slow down the aging process? Can I become my own doctor? How do I take back my power, take back my health from doctors? How do Medical Intuitives work? What does effective healing look like from Spirit's point of view? What is self-healing? How can I heal myself? What is Best Practices in Healing? Whatís the single most useful tool for healing my self? What does it mean to be Spirit-led? How much of my disease is self-created; how much is genetic, in my genes? If cells are constantly replacing themselves, why aren't we healthy from that? What are ìcore issuesî? How do we heal them? ------------------------------------- You have FIVE bodies; Spiritual Geography 101 Where am I? Am I this physical "meat body" or am I an eternal and immortal soul? Which direction is Home, the Home Office? The topic of Spiritual Geography, first recorded in the literature of Light & Sound groups in the 1800s, addresses many of these questions. Our physical body is maybe one-sixth or less of human consciouness. What makes us human is five more invisible bodies beyond our physical body: - imaginal body, - emotional body, - mental body, - memory-habit-mythological body - soul body (not really a body according to eye-witnesses). The books, Tigers Fang, 2nd ed and When Are Your Coming Home? are pointed to as more authoritative. They are based on direct personal experience way beyond that of the present author. Comments, additions and corrections from groups and individuals using the PACME model are invited. John-Roger, is the most recent Western proponent of a Spiritual geography. His model is covered here with additional comments and concepts providing leverage for teaching purposes. John-Roger emplys the Thesophy terms, Physical, Astral, Causal, Mental and Etheric (PACME). The PACME map-model point to basic distinctions in the human psyche and consciousness. Once pointed out, most people say, "Hmm, that makes sense." Spiritual Geography is emplyed by kinesiology and Energy Detectives as a map-model-tool to help locate invisible mental-emotional issues. The uses of the PACME model for purposes of self-healing and energy detectice work are highlighted. ------------------------------------- The Meaning of Illness is Now an Open Book; Cross-referencing Illness and Issues Virtually unknown to the public, excellent, EIGHT peer-reviewd books exist correlating illnesses and mental-emotional issues as of 2012. It's now possible to simply look up the meaning of physical illnesses, the causative issues behind health concerns. Some combination of these mental-emotional issues is what oppresses your organs, tissues and cells. For persons with their own Healing Toolbox, they can simply get busy doing what you can to locate, address and resolve these issues. If you don't know where your Healing Toolbox is or what's in it, you can always find a Self-Healing Coach, Health Intuitive or Medical Intuitive. Find someone who works with loving. Those interested in the mental-emotional meaning of illnesses tend to be, self-healers, self-muscle-testers, holistic practitioners, kinesiology practitioners, Medical and Health Intuitives, energy detectives of all kinds and anyone interested in what used to be called "psychosomatic medicine." Therapeutically uselss and eccentric literature in this field does exist. This only highlights the eight best books. Additional material conerns how one Medical Intuitive views his field and his practice: - Illness as a healing metaphor. - Willingness to heal is the pre-requisite to heal - Summary of some very recent protocols and methods for connecting the dots between illnesses and issues.
