Friends good morning and welcome to Day 20 of the #30daymentalchallenge. Join us anytime with article/pledge in bio. Today’s theme is: Use all solutions. Too often we get hemmed into thinking not only in terms of our mind’s eye image but also in terms of what options are...1/7 Image
2/7 available to “spiritual” people. Often this is nothing but internalized peer pressure, unverified ideas that are hallowed by repetition, and decisions made by others. The margin notes in our books are filled with such assumptions. Become aware of—and test—what truly works...
3/7 for you. Often solutions arrive in a complex of ways—just as problems have a complex of causes. Hence if you suffer from anxiety, as I do, you may find a solution in an Rx, meditation, situational changes, talk therapy, prayer, chanting, in any and all varieties. If you...
4/7 suffer from poor self image, you should take nothing off the table in pursuit of selfhood. Nothing. My only ethic is reciprocity. My only definition of evil, on a personal scale, is spite. I believe that all actions ultimately impact self, as I do in human wholeness...
5/7 and reciprocal or cyclical justice, which I think is a cosmic law. That said, you owe nothing else to a peer, including explanations. Today I want you to feel exquisitely free to seek your good (by which I mean selfhood) anywhere. And to watch very, very carefully for the...
6/7 arrival of your good from overlooked sources. In ancient myths gods are often disguised as wandering strangers. Are you neglecting a solution because it doesn’t seem to belong to your conditional menu? Reject nothing out of hand. Your deliverance may come in a pill,...
7/7 an act, a choice, a relationship, a procedure, or an item that you may not expect. Or all of these. Wishing you all good things, -M- 🧷✊⚡️#pma

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 21 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always, join anytime with link in bio. Today begins our final 10 days. Some of you have written me asking how to stay “on” the program. The truth is: if you’re not falling off you’re not... 1/8 Image
2/8 really doing it. Our minds and emotions—the amalgam of which I call our psyche—are enormously conditioned toward fear, hostility, and anger. These things are not *always* negative. Fear or even anger in the face of legitimate danger can be preserving. But as in the case...
3/8 of PTSD these reactions become hyper-conditioned, habitual, self-justified, and automatic. Hence such reactions form the very danger that they seek to ameliorate. This is the psychological mechanism at the back of the Oedipus drama. Overcompensating for perceived flaws or...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 19 of the #30DayMentalChallenge. As always, join anytime with article/pledge in bio. Today’s topic is the old-fashioned but under-appreciated theme of affirmations. French mind theorist Emile Coué made mantras or affirmations famous...1/7
2/7 in the 1920s with his keynote: “Day by day in every way I am getting better and better.” Ever since seekers have debated how or whether affirmations work. I believe they do work—affirmations recondition the psyche in subtle ways. I have written elsewhere about the...
3/7 importance of using a mantra or affirmation during hynagogia, an exquisitely relaxed and suggestive state experienced just before drifting to sleep and again upon waking. Coué had an early instinct for this, later validated by sleep researchers. Scholarly psychical...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 18 of the #30DayMentalChallenge. Join any time with link in bio. For those of you in the U.S. who observe Thanksgiving today may be different from previous years due to COVID but similarities and not differences are our chief concern...1/6
2/6 If you are following this challenge you likely feel unsettled with norms. For this reason holidays can seem perpetually unsettling. Holidays and family gatherings are often unsettling for sensitive people. You feel misunderstood by relatives and family members...
3/6 That’s because you are misunderstood. Who knows us less than our birth families? Who knows us less than aunts and uncles and so on who want us to be like them? To vote like them. To think like them. If you’re around such people today my message is: you are free...

"We're speaking across a divide when we talk about the parapsychological community and the professional skeptic or pseudo-skeptic community that is all but impossible to bridge…The position of the parapsychological community,...1/11
2/11 "which is the position that I share, is that it's entirely possible to study questions of extra-physical mentality in a clinical setting. And this research is not only compelling but, in fact, has proved repeatable. Results have been demonstrated that stand up under very...
3/11 "strictly juried conditions and this research is extremely inexpensive compared to the money that gets spent on a wide range of psychological, pharmacological, social-science related experiments…So, there's no risk to the perpetuation of the scientific method...

Friends good morning and welcome to Day 17 of the #30daymentalchallenge. As always join any time with link in bio. Today’s focus is based on “Habit 13” from The Miracle Habits. Few things are more depleting of your happiness and sense of self than internalized conformity...1/6
2/6 I do not exactly mean outer peer pressure, which I’ll address tomorrow, but rather the limitations that we internalize as a matter of rote and thus limit our senses, large and small, of solutions, possibilities, and avenues of expression. I do not suggest a...
3/6 go-it-alone approach to life. We are all connected and relationships are at the basis of everything. But you will naturally attract more of the people with whom you want to be connected when you stop acting “like them” and ask yourself: what do I truly want? In that vein,...

Friends, good morning and welcome to Day 16 of the #30DayMentalChallenge. Join any time with link in bio. How do you conceptualize yourself? While it is true that we all have our natural aptitudes, affinities, and areas of relative strength/weakness, the narrative that...1/4
2/4 we self-condition around these things plays a seismic role not only in self perception but in determining the very nature of experience. William James made the observation that act precedes and determines mood, not vice versa. In every possible instance, assume the gait
3/4 of construction, frame yourself in the strongest possible terms, and that act itself—even if beginning as an inner movement—will impact self-perception over time. And sometimes in remarkable ways even in a moment. This is our experiment for today...
