There are time when confidence is different than conceitedness. Ask John Galt. I think I was fortunate enough to grow up in a life that promoted deep challenges to thinking, deep challenges to the status quo, and deep challenges to my own established beliefs. I know that throughout my life of 27 years, I have continually challenged and adapted my beliefs. In my education, I have had several unique opportunities to have my peers, friends, relatives, coworkers evaluate me anonymously, through a process called 360 review. In all of my reviews, the people around me all agree that I’m the first to question life around me, the first to question the status quo, the first to propose new ideas for the sake of having new ideas.I I may not be the most popular, but few can argue with my success or vision. Call it luck, call it good education, call it what you will, but I will tell you I’ve only met a couple of souls that are similar to my own on this planet.

For me, the course I need is how to continue this track. I don’t need a class on how to be a visionary. I get that. I need a course on how to take it to the next level. How do I go beyond visioning? I have some ideas I’ve tried, but I want to know how to take it beyond. John Gaul, Howard Roark, Dagny Tagart, Francisco DeAconia, they all knew how to take their vision to world changing levels, but Ayn Rand admits her characters were the “ideal vision of man”. How do I take it to that level? That’s the class I want. And, looking at human history as my guide, I don’t think everyone can get there, via education or otherwise. More people can get there than have in the past, but it is a sacred realm. So, how do I find out if I’m one of those special people? If so, where do I go next? It isn’t conceitedness, but it is ego.

I am interested in the Visionary Thinking Course/training and would be willing either to have the course downloadable or better yet another ‘Course in the box’ like the Visionary Mind Concept made real. Maybe you can add either DVD’s or video tapes to increase the power of the teachings/living ideas. Theo. PS, Sometimes I feel like an recipient of some killer idealogical viruse(s) placed in my mind and body as early as the age of 6 or 7. I’ve been spending the past 38 years trying to free my self from restrictive idealogical Bull-ca-ca that like the HIV/ AIDS virus just changes shape to fit ones belief or current perceptions, usually safe perceptions. My Dad and much later after their seperation my mom by their previous upbringing and modeling used corporal punishment and scare tactics, like “Big Brother” and his supporters to instill these morals and so-called values permently into my body-mind
as safety devices to keep us(and me a) safe little primate(s) unable to improve the homo-sapien gene pool beyond basic technological toys/machines and paying the bills. It makes me sad, and sometimes I feel powerless, and less important to LIFE. Nietzche’ implied that we are all, man and women potential Supermen, so did Frank Ward aka Frank R. Wallace, and Ayn rand, Edward Crowley aka Aliester Crowley. Like these super heroes, I want to LIVE, to do great things, to create valuable things and life experiences, I do. I think I’m experiencing blue balls in my being, whole person. Again help?! Is it really supposed to be this way?

Thinking vs. knowing outside of time. I was free climbing, working across a nose of rock, and my holds were by finger and toes. I peeled off as I hung there wondering what to do next. It was close to 40 feet down, and about half way down I was thinking about my friend, having to haul my broken body out! Something deep inside just totally rejected this senario. The wee small voice screemed out, “NO_O_O_O.” I poped out of my body and was floating there, like a mear point of view. My body hit the slope below, head down,and on my back. It bounced! It was like a perfect dismount off a pommel horse. As soon as it took the position, arms upraised,and looking up at the nose I just was on a moment earlier, I popped back into my body, and cracked up laughing. It was like the proverbial cat being thrown out of a second story window. sometimes its not about thought at all. There is no time. You just act spontaneously without the luxury of intermediate process. The thought simply manifests. I call it, “effortless-effort.”
