makes me tick\u00a0 (what delights \u2013 and what appears<br \/>to be threatening, and how to defuse that).\u00a0 I am in awe of truth and reality,<br \/>and how the two are bound together.\u00a0 I can discern the essence of a situation,<br \/>and deal with those involved accordingly.\u00a0 Emotional and intellectual courage both<br \/>come to my aid.<\/p>\n<p>2)\u00a0 Since associating in the Neothink Society I have found greater strength in joy<br \/>than I\u2019ve known before!\u00a0 My genuine and constructive sense of humor is actively<br \/>carrying me through my own foibles and giving me a respectful understanding<br \/>of others in theirs\u2019.\u00a0 By nature I am both a serious, studious type of guy \u2013 and<br \/>fun-loving.\u00a0 I have become quite flexible about using both of these modes.\u00a0 It<br \/>is intriguing to me that since I can laugh at myself I can be corrected, and also<br \/>can correct myself, without trying to pass this along into correcting others.<\/p>\n<p>3)\u00a0 I am increasingly conscious that fulfillment for my own life is something that is up to me to create according to the attributes, talents, consciousness and<br \/>trust that I have developed.\u00a0 For the timing and exact nature of what I have<br \/>wanted the movement of my life to include and to look like as it unfolds,<br \/>Neothink did arrive at just the opportune time to be this vehicle: to satisfy<br \/>the thirst for learning \u2013 and from the finest Mentor; to provide the rare<br \/>opportunity of being extremely useful on many levels in our world; and of<br \/>supreme importance \u2013 to be in the fascinating company of a diverse group of folks<br \/>who are determined to be who we are meant to be, to work and live as human<br \/>beings can at optimum, to raise and nurture our families in strength, fun and<br \/>dignity, adding our own value creation to the world through our work.<\/p>\n<p>4)\u00a0 As 2003 turned into 2004, I believe it was then that I read my first Neothink<br \/>volume.\u00a0 That was an amazing time for me.\u00a0 Briefly, * unexpectedly a new friend came into my life and we have the greatest chats about \u201clife\u201d \u2013 both our lives keep improving &#8211;<br \/>encouragement is a big thing in living \u2013 this friend bought two<br \/>of my best canvases \u2013 oh yes \u2013 you guessed it, I am an artist<br \/>this is a\u00a0 \u201cfriend\u201d friend, no romance \u2013 now she wants<br \/>literature about Neothink * also in 2004 an old college buddy came to town and he and his wife bought two big canvases, and I had the biggest check<br \/>anyone had ever written me for my art \u2013 we had a great time<br \/>exchanging information and experiences lived * I had never owned a brand new car \u2013 so I test-drove a few and found exactly the car I wanted, and didn\u2019t have enough to buy it, but \u2014<br \/>* two months later there was a studio crawl in my town, and in<br \/>two afternoons 225 people came by and I sold 10 pieces of<br \/>my work in 12 hours\u00a0 \u2014 I drove off in the same unit, a sleek<br \/>sportscar \u2013 love it \u2013 Moonlit Blue \u2013 workable payments<br \/>* now to New Year\u2019s Eve. 2005-2006 \u2013 I got an e-mail from<br \/>Jamaica \u2013 two old friends (one living in Jamaica 28 years, the<br \/>other in LA) \u2013 these are guys I met in Budapest in 1963 \u2013 I<br \/>was fortunate to get a scholarship and was living in Vienna for<br \/>the year \u2013 my girlfriend had met these fellows on a previous<br \/>visit and said I should meet them and see Budapest \u2013 they<br \/>came to Vienna, were with me a week and moved to Germany,<br \/>where they asked for political asylum \u2013 we worked with the UN<br \/>and they came to the US and became citizens \u2013 we hadn\u2019t<br \/>seen each other for 38 years &#8211;\u00a0 the man and his wife in Jamaica<br \/>invited me to stay a week and they treated me like a king &#8211;<br \/>they also bought two of my paintings\u00a0 \u2013 two months later my old<br \/>friend in Jamaica died \u2013 heart attack \u2013 so glad I could see him<br \/>when I did\u00a0 \u2013 their son is studying in Hungary to be an art<br \/>teacher \u2013 I remember seeing the Russian tanks on the corners<br \/>in Budapest \u2013 my old friend went over to Hungary in the 1990\u2032s<br \/>to help the country privatize \u2013 so nice to know they got free &#8211;<br \/>by the way that guy was very wealthy \u2013 a hotel magnate-<\/p>\n<p>I am in touch with the friend who settled in LA \u2013 he\u2019s doing<br \/>fine and \u2014 you\u00a0 guessed it \u2013 he wants to hear about Neothink<br \/>* in June of 2005 an ol friend of 23 years came back into my life<br \/>after a time of going our own ways \u2013 this is my closest friend<br \/>ever \u2013 he\u2019s a real buddy \u2013 we get together often and are having<br \/>tremendously powerful exchanges about life, living, music, cars<br \/>and marketing \u2013 we\u2019re having fun \u2013 he\u2019s a fine singer and guitarist &#8211;<br \/>so glad to have this friend back in my life\u00a0 \u2013 we have a lot of<br \/>mutual respect and trust \u2013 we look out for each other<br \/>* finally, a great boon for my health picture is that I got off of three<br \/>heart meds through a strangely beneficial series of events &#8211;<br \/>and with the Doctor\u2019s blessing! \u2013 when I was free of meds, two<br \/>miraculous bodily capabilities came back to me that had been lost<br \/>to side effects: a good, strong sense of balance returned, and<br \/>the natural oils in my skin also reappeared, so no more cracking<br \/>hands in winter \u2013 I am grateful beyond description!\u00a0 Also, I<br \/>exercise fully at work, lifting 50 pound bags all day, 40 hours per<br \/>week and I\u2019ve been doing this for the last five years \u2013 I eat the<br \/>healthiest of food, stay at a very ideal weight \u2013 no meds,<br \/>no colds, no flu, even when people around me are sick.\u00a0 I can<br \/>only marvel and say, \u201cThank You.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many Thanks\u00a0 for reading what I have for you in this Testimonial. \u00a0<br \/>I hope you found something to help you on your way.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<br
