Our 3rd Dynamic Seminar took place today!
Our Third Dynamic seminar on "The Axioms" took place today at a luxury apartment right in the heart of Beverly Hills.
A total of 8 people attended. Candy was the Facilitator. Of the 8 of us, 7 had some sort of background, mostly in C of S but some were never actually in C of S but cut their teeth in the Freezone. The non Scio person was my good friend from Orange County, LH.
LH was a big hit with everyone and she fit right in as regards the material being presented. She had good reality on all the Axioms we discussed and was having gaining insights reading about things about which she already had practical experience. In particular, Axiom 20 having to do with the creating of a perfect duplicate causing vanishment was pertinent to her since she was applying it in her healing practice intuitively without formally knowing the theory why and how she could get somatics to vanish.
The other big hit was the 23 year old Son of our hostess whose apartment we were using. What a delightful and intelligent young man he is! What a delight to see a young man with his head on straight. He revealed to us that only two years ago he was less stable and floundering a bit and that his studies of of the Axioms and other releveant tech had caused him to be much more stable over the last couple of years. He now has a very bright future!
Johnny was a "maybe" and did not show. There were several other no shows, one had the flu, two friends of mine cancelled the day before and several close friends of Candy's wanted to come but had an earlier engagements which they had to honor. If everyone had showd up, we would have had about 20 people.
Those of us who were there had a very good time. LH's comment to me as we left together to drive back to Orange County was, "What a fantastic group of people that is!!"

Does anyone have anything to say about Egypt?
The talk all over the news media as well as Facebook is the situation in Egypt. It seems to me to bring back the days of 1979 when the Shah's regime in Iran was tottering and the Ayotollah was about to take over.
I hope this imminent regime change does not destabilize the planet to the extend that the 1979 regime change in Iran has.

from the book, 4 Hour Body by Timothy Ferris
Does history record any case in which the majority was right?
—Robert Heinlein
I love fools’ experiments.
I’m always making them.
—Charles Darwin
MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA, 10 P.M., FRIDAY
Shoreline Amphitheater was rocking.
More than 20,000 people had turned out at northern California’s largest music venue to hear Nine Inch Nails, loud and in charge, on what was expected to
be their last tour.
Backstage, there was more unusual entertainment. “Dude, I go into the stall to take care of business, and I look over and see the top of Tim’s head popping above the divider. He was doing fucking air squats in the men’s
room in complete silence.”
Glenn, a videographer and friend, burst out laughing as he reenacted my technique. To be honest, he needed to get his thighs closer to parallel.
“Forty air squats, to be exact,” I offered.
Kevin Rose, founder of Digg, one of the top-500 most popular websites in the world, joined in the laughter and raised a beer to toast the incident. I, on the other hand, was eager to move on to the main event.
In the next 45 minutes, I consumed almost two full size barbecue chicken pizzas and three handfuls of mixed nuts, for a cumulative total of about 4,400 calories. It was my fourth meal of the day, breakfast having consisted of two glasses of grapefruit juice, a large cup of coffee with cinnamon, two chocolate croissants, and two bear claws.
The more interesting portion of the story started well after Trent Reznor left the stage.
Roughly 72 hours later, I tested my body fat percentage with an ultrasound analyzer designed by a physicist out of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
Charting the progress on my latest experiment, I’d dropped from 11.9% to 10.2% bodyfat, a 14% reduction of the total fat on my body, in 14 days.
How? Timed doses of garlic, sugar cane, and tea extracts, among other things.
The process wasn’t punishing. It wasn’t hard. Tiny changes were all it took. Tiny changes that, while small in isolation, produced enormous changes when used in combination.
Want to extend the fat-burning half-life of caffeine?
Naringenin, a useful little molecule in grapefruit juice, does just the trick.
Need to increase insulin sensitivity before bingeing once per week?
Just add some cinnamon to your pastries on Saturday morning, and you can get the job done.
Want to blunt your blood glucose for 60 minutes while you eat a high-carb meal guilt-free?
There are a half dozen options.
But 2% bodyfat in two weeks? How can that be possible if many general practitioners claim that it’s impossible to lose more than two pounds of fat per week?
Here’s the sad truth: most of the one-size-fits-all rules, this being one example, haven’t been field-tested for exceptions.
You can’t change your muscle fiber type?
Sure you can. Genetics be damned.
Calories in and calories out?
It’s incomplete at best.
I’ve lost fat while grossly overfeeding. Cheesecake be praised.
The list goes on and on.
It’s obvious that the rules require some rewriting.
That’s what this book is for.

The Real Deal
Some years ago, good friend of mine...who lives in a very nice part of a big city...told me about his next door neighbor. My friend knew of my love of flying and that I—along with my business partners—had just bought a Cabin Class, Cessna Twin airplane.
My friend’s neighbor was one of the original “Flying Tigers”.
I told my friend that I would give anything to meet his neighbor and, he replied, “I thought you would. Just give me a week or two notice before the next time you’re in “blank” and I’ll try and set something up.
A couple of months later I was going to spend a few days in “blank” for business and I called my friend a few weeks ahead and told him I was going to be in town for 4 days over a weekend, and I’d sure love to meet his neighbor, even if just for a few minutes.
A couple of days later my friend called me back and asked, “How much time are you going to have on Saturday to meet my neighbor?”
“How much time do I need,” I replied.
“I can’t believe you just said that.” My friend answered. “I told him about you and that you had an airplane and he said, “Well, I’m just gonna be around all day Saturday, hopin’ someone’s gonna come over with a bottle of good Scotch and wanna listen to a few stories.”
“What kinda Scotch does he drink?” I asked.
“I dunno…I don’t drink Scotch,” my friend replied. “But I do remember that he says “Single Malt” is the best. He also likes to smoke cigars when he drinks.”
Early on a Saturday afternoon, 5 weeks later, my friend and I rang his neighbor’s doorbell. The most magnificent 80 years+ man I’ve ever seen answered the door. I presented him with a bottle of 10 year old Laphroaig (my personal favorite and, IMO, better than the 15 or 20 year old) and a box of Havana Churchill’s (benefit of international business travel and learning how to smuggle whilst in the SO).
I have never—and will never again—spend a Saturday afternoon and evening like this one; the man’s Study was more than a museum—it was the testamentary treasures of an heroic youth and a life so well lived.
‘Tween puffs and draughts I thought, silently to myself, “I can’t believe that in my life I have sat in the presence of El Ron and this man…this man, that is the ‘real deal’.”

I've been reading Wikipedia about the Flying Tigers and Chennault
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cA-DE2g9kFs
My father had a non war WWll. He managed to be with Patton's tank corp before they went overseas, and somehow under Chennault in Louisiana flying (he was a pilot) bombers? He was based at Fort Benning, GA.
He never talked very much about it. He flew for some months with Eastern Airlines, but left to come home to pears, apricots, tractors, my mother, and his mother and sisters.
I never asked about what where who etc. Now I wish I had.

Infinite, you are right, non of the Freezoners comply with the requirements and neither does the Cof$, as for me...I wish they would give me my money back for all of the meters I bought...since I am no longer a member and do not comply with 'the requirements'. I actually have been thinking about this very point and it will be a very good argument to get my refund...no? Maybe all of the auditors should return the meters on those basis and get refunds...

I think I paid $135. (new) for my Mark 5? - it's wood, made by Delta Meters in 1969. It still works. i just don't remember where it is stored. Probably in the barn. I used it, and it worked fine about ten years ago.

Doesn't the Adkin's Diet circumvent the calories in and calories out theory? Also, the Zone Diet by Barrry Sears does as well.
In Adkins, one gorges on fat and protein and cuts carb intake to the bone. When done by the book, the person's body starts burning his fat reserves at an alarmingly fast rate. Weight does literally melt away while one eats rich cheesecake, steaks, chops, eggs, etc.. The downside that I could never get around was "regularity". Without Carb intake, one was taking in no ruffage and it was vitually next to imposible to have elimination occur. Not only this, but one's body was tending to become toxic.
It was sort of a miracle, however, when a heavy person suddenly became a fat burning machine and losses of 5 or 6 pounds a week were occurring while the person enjoyed rich foods and had no hunger pangs.
The Zone diet by Barry Sears emphasized an eating mix of 40% carbs, 30% protein and 30% fat. This diet seemed to work fine, causing nearly as much weight loss as Adkins while one had regular elimination and was not becoming toxic.
The only reason I could not do this diet for extended periods was due to laziness and/or inconvenience. I had to do my own shopping and food preparation and I was still living with my ex wife and the kids were in the house. This took place in the late 1990's when my kids were about 13 and 17. Every meal, I had to eat differently than the rest of the family and also do separate shopping. After 2 or 3 weeks, even though I was losing weight, I threw in the towel. It was too difficult to buy and prepare 3 meals a day different from the rest of the family.

I'm having way too much fun in the jacuzzi, Gary!
I love taking road trips, with a couple of people lined up in each location to work with, cycling back through the area each week.
I work intensively. I prefer 5 hours a day/per person, 5 days a week.
I'm currently half price for each 25 hour intensive (minimum), paid in advance with all travel expenses provided out front by the client.
The Profile Feedback is the free service which I offer on the internet.
I deliver it all.
Never been better, even as Yvonne's Celebrity Auditor or Hubbard's Star Missionaire.
I am traveling extensively at this time in Southern California.
I love to drive!
Been so busy, haven't had a lot of time to check in here on ESMB.
Thanks to this thread moderator, I've gotten updates whenever possible over the phone.

THETA TRAINING
Oh, I just gave my first 3 hour workshop last Saturday at a beautiful private residence in Beverly Hills. Pictures to follow.
What a riot! We had so much fun and learned a lot from each other.
The title of this trial run was MY FAVORITE AXIOMS by Candy Swanson, as a take-off of My Favorite Martian.
We were eight in number. After the initial hysterical group processing, which included a group hug, we were all freely interchanging viewpoints, as each contributed their own favorite axiom only limited by my skillful moderation.
Thanks to our lovely hostess, we had a very elegant environment in which to cavort, as I had our very interactive ambulatory group colorfully demo my fav, AXIOM 28, on the gigantic Magic Erase Board.
The attendees ranged from Class VIII to a lovely gal who had only had the Profile in person by me last week, "the chain is as strong as the weakest link".
I was so moved as the newbie's eyes lit up with new understanding and she glowed brightly, as we all once did, so very long ago.
Seeing the self evident truths through her eager eyes, renewed my original enthusiasm which I didn't realize had gone underground on me, and as a result, I'd been conservative over the past 45 years! Yikes!
What has been made old, can be made new again!
Tone level of the EVENT: [my stat] Enthusiasm!
END PRODUCT: live communication without reservation. YAY!
Aloha to every one out there!
