I read my first Neothink volume…

The particular benefits of the Neothink approach to life that are invaluable to me are these.

First, I have integrity and I know what makes me tick, what delights me and what appears to be threatening, and how to defuse that. I am in awe of truth and reality, and how the two are bound together. I can discern the essence of a situation and deal with those involved accordingly. Emotional and intellectual courage both come to my aid.

Second, since associating with the Neothink Society I have found greater strength in joy than I've known before. My genuine and constructive sense of humor is actively carrying me through my own foibles and giving me a respectful understanding of others in theirs. By nature I am both a serious, studious type of guy and fun-loving, and I have become quite flexible about using both of these modes. It is intriguing to me that since I can laugh at myself, I can be corrected, and I can also correct myself, without trying to pass that along into correcting others.

Third, 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 trust that I have developed. For the timing and exact nature of what I have wanted the movement of my life to include and to look like as it unfolds, Neothink did arrive at just the opportune time: to satisfy the thirst for learning, and from the finest mentor; to provide the rare opportunity of being extremely useful on many levels in our world; and, of supreme importance, to be in the fascinating company of a diverse group of folks who are determined to be who we are meant to be, to work and live as human beings can at optimum, and to raise and nurture our families in strength, fun, and dignity, adding our own value creation to the world through our work.

As 2003 turned into 2004, I believe it was then that I read my first Neothink volume. That was an amazing time for me. Briefly, here is what followed.

Unexpectedly, a new friend came into my life, and we have the greatest chats about life; both our lives keep improving, and encouragement is a big thing in living. This friend bought two of my best canvases (oh yes, you guessed it, I am an artist); this is a "friend" friend, no romance, and now she wants literature about Neothink.

Also in 2004, an old college buddy came to town, and he and his wife bought two big canvases. I had the biggest check anyone had ever written me for my art, and we had a great time exchanging information and experiences.

I had never owned a brand-new car, so I test-drove a few and found exactly the car I wanted, but I didn't have enough to buy it. Then, two months later, there was a studio crawl in my town, and in two afternoons 225 people came by and I sold 10 pieces of my work in 12 hours. I drove off in the same unit, a sleek sports car, Moonlit Blue, on workable payments. I love it.

Then, on New Year's Eve 2005-2006, I got an email from Jamaica, from two old friends, one living in Jamaica for 28 years and the other in LA. These are guys I met in Budapest in 1963, when I was fortunate to get a scholarship and was living in Vienna for the year. My girlfriend had met these fellows on a previous visit and said I should meet them and see Budapest. They came to Vienna, were with me a week, and moved to Germany, where they asked for political asylum. We worked with the UN, and they came to the US and became citizens. We hadn't seen each other for 38 years. The man and his wife in Jamaica invited me to stay a week and treated me like a king; they also bought two of my paintings.

Two months later my old friend in Jamaica died of a heart attack. I was so glad I could see him when I did. Their son is studying in Hungary to be an art teacher. I remember seeing the Russian tanks on the corners in Budapest; my old friend went over to Hungary in the 1990s to help the country privatize, so it was nice to know they got free. By the way, that guy was very wealthy, a hotel magnate.

I am still in touch with the friend who settled in LA. He's doing fine, and, you guessed it, he wants to hear about Neothink too.

In June of 2005, an old friend of 23 years came back into my life after a time of going our own ways. This is my closest friend ever, a real buddy. We get together often and are having tremendously powerful exchanges about life, living, music, cars, and marketing. We're having fun; he's a fine singer and guitarist, and I'm so glad to have this friend back in my life. We have a lot of mutual respect and trust, and we look out for each other.

Finally, a great boon for my health picture is that I got off three heart meds through a strangely beneficial series of events, with the doctor's blessing. When I was free of the meds, two miraculous bodily capabilities came back to me that had been lost to side effects: a good, strong sense of balance returned, and the natural oils in my skin also reappeared, so no more cracking hands in winter. I am grateful beyond description.

Also, I exercise fully at work, lifting 50-pound bags all day, 40 hours a week, and I've been doing this for the last five years. I eat the healthiest of food and stay at a very ideal weight; no meds, no colds, no flu, even when people around me are sick. I can only marvel and say, "Thank you."

Many thanks for reading what I have for you in this testimonial. I hope you found something to help you on your way.
