  • Abusers feel powerless, so they search for a victim they can exert power over.
  • The abuse could be emotional (manipulation and verbal), financial (economic), physical, sexual or all four.
  • They usually isolate their victim from family and friends.
  • An abuser will act the part of ‘Mister nice guy’ until he or she is confident their victim cannot leave them.
  • The abuser could be a parent, a partner or even an employer.
  • Placating an abuser to reduce tension rarely works; the abuse almost always continues.

Millions of incidents of domestic violence are reported every year. The victims are both men and women, although most perpetrators are men.

One-third of women and one-fourth of men will have reported experiencing some sort of domestic violence, and for one-fourth of women and one-seventh of men, it’s severe. (Ref: NCADV.org.)

However, the real numbers of abuse are unknown as many, if not most go unreported. For those victims the abuse continues, with no off ramp.

Abuse within a family or relationship eats away at the victim’s confidence and self-esteem. The effects are long-term and can take longer to recover from than physical violence.

Violence includes throwing or breaking things, slapping, shoving, hair-pulling and forced sex.

The abuse almost always takes place behind closed doors.

  • Abusers justify their actions to themselves.
  • Abusers deny their actions to others.
  • Abusers blame the victim. It is always someone else’s fault.
  • Violence is preceded by verbal abuse.
  • Abuse damages the victim’s own self-esteem.
  • The abuser needs to always be ‘right’. No compromises.
  • The abuser needs to feel in control.
  • The abuser is compulsively possessive..
  • The abuser will usually try to isolate their victim from friends and family.
  • The abuser is hypersensitive.
  • A gun in the house increases the risk of homicide by 500 percent.
  • Alcohol consumption and drugs are associated with two-thirds of domestic violence.

The abuser feels powerless. They are often bullies. They feel a need to have power and control over their victim. This is because they don’t feel that they have personal power, regardless of their sporting and career success. To them, all relationships are a win-lose game. They think they should always win and you should always lose.

They often have the following personality profile:

  • The abuser is struggling, and ultimately fighting a losing battle with themselves.
  • Hypersensitive
  • Unrealistic expectations of a relationship.
  • Often jealous.
  • Verbally abusive.
  • Needs to always be right, and in control.
  • May try to isolate their partner from friends and family.
  • Has a history of aggression.
  • Is cruel to animals and/or children.
  • Refuses to accept responsibility for their words and actions.
  • Blames their behaviour on others.
  • Suffers from untreated mental health problems including anxiety and depression.
  • May be suicidal.

WELCOME LIFE FREE FROM DEPRESSION1 CLASSIC

Most victims of abuse respond in a rational way: They explain themselves and believe that the abuser is listening and understands. However, the abuser only thinks they have control.

Most victims do the opposite and placate and appease an abuser to deescalate tension and the risk of harm. It rarely works, and abuse typically continues.

Instead, do not engage with the abuser in a typical way – it wont work.

You can throw them off guard by responding in an unpredictable way, such as with humour, which throws them off-guard. You can ask for, no demand, the behaviour you want, set limits, and confront the abuse. Remember, they have the low self esteem.

If you’ve experienced violence—and that includes shoving, hair pulling, or destroying property—it’s essential to get support and learn how to set limits.

Abusers deny or minimize their bad behaviours and may claim they can’t control themselves. This is not true. They pick and choose who they will abuse.

They aren’t abusive with their boss—because there would be consequences to that behaviour.

They blame their actions on their victim, implying that it is the victim that needs to change. They need to hold a mirror to their face as they say that.

LIFE FREE FROM BEING RIDICULED CLASSIC

Sometimes, the threat of violence is all the abuser needs to maintain control of their victim. A word or body language might be all they need once they have trained their victim to comply.

Victims learn to recognize the ‘signs’ that usually indicate what is about to happen.

I have had clients come to me for therapy to break the cycle of abuse and violence.

Soon after I qualified, I met a lady socially through friends who commented ‘all men are abusers’. I asked her why she said that, because I knew it was not true for most other people.

She told me that her father abused her and her mother, but not her brothers. They grew up to become abusers themselves. Every man she met and had a relationship with was an abuser.

I invited her to try some therapy with me to disconnect those past experiences form her present and future. It worked. Her next relationship was the opposite of everything she had previously experienced.

Another lady told me that due to a business contract she could not leave her abusive partner, so we disconnected her reactions to the ‘signs’ from him and incorporated new behaviours within her instead. In other words we installed a new strategy in her. It worked.

When she behaved in a completely new way his abusive strategy fell over. It through him off his game and he lost his power.

 

There are many reasons why victims stay in an abusive relationship. The dominant reason is dependency: Control by the abuser, shame about the abuse, and the dysfunctional nature of the relationship lowers the victim’s self-esteem and confidence and often causes the victim to withdraw from friends and family, creating even more fear, and dependency on the abuser. The abuse is experienced as an emotional rejection with the threat of being abandoned. This triggers feelings of shame and fears of both more abuse and abandonment in the victim. There are some good times between episodes of abuse.

Abusers can have a Jekyll-and-Hyde personality. Dr. Jekyll is often charming and romantic, perhaps successful, and makes pronouncements of love. You love Dr. Jekyll and make excuses for Mr. Hyde.

Victims also stay for the following reasons:

  • Nowhere else to live.
  • No outside emotional support.
  • Childcare concerns.
  • Accepting blame for the abuse.
  • Denying, minimizing, and rationalizing the abuse.
  • Low self-esteem and confidence.
  • They think they love the abuser.

If you’re a victim of abuse;

  • You feel ashamed.
  • You have been humiliated.
  • Your self-esteem and confidence have been undermined.
  • You hide the abuse from people close to you.
  • You protect the reputation of the abuser and because of your own shame.
  • An abuser uses tactics to isolate you from friends and loved ones by criticizing them and making remarks designed to force you to take sides.
  • You’re either for them or against them. For the abuser everything is black and white. There are no shades of grey.
  • If the abuser feels slighted, then you have to take his or her side, or you’re befriending the enemy. This is designed to increase control over you and your dependence upon him or her.
  • Open bank and credit cards in your own name.
  • Have a safe place to go with a friend or relative.
  • Have a bag packed at that place with necessary valuables and important legal papers, passport, bank information, credit cards, phone book, and money.
  • Also, pack clothes for your children and some toys.
  • Alert neighbours to call the police if they hear loud noises or suspect danger.
  • Make extra car and house keys. Hide a car key outside so you can get away.
  • If there is a weapon in the home, remove it. (In Australia police are required to seize weapons and guns in the possession of people convicted of domestic violence)
  • Remember, by not confronting abuse to avoid the risk of losing someone’s love, you risk losing your Self.

 

It’s essential to build outside resources and talk about what’s going on in your relationship.

There are usually resources within your town or city.

Do this even if it means keeping a secret. You’re entitled to your privacy.

To avoid getting involved with an abuser when you’re dating, beware of someone who:

  • Insists on having his or her way and won’t compromise.
  • Sees everything in back and white terms, with no shades of grey.
  • Has outbursts of anger.
  • Is rude to others.
  • Criticizes you or your family.
  • Is jealous or possessive.
  • Is paranoid.
  • Threatens you.

Pay attention to these signs despite the fact that the person is pursuing you and expressing love and affection.

An abuser won’t risk becoming abusive until he or she is confident that you won’t leave.

First, he or she will try to win you over and isolate you from friends and family. See if he or she respects your boundaries.

Often, violence doesn’t start until after marriage or the birth of a child, when you’re less likely to leave.

But it also can escalate when you try to leave. This is why it’s imperative to have a plan and support.

 

 

How You Think About Time Affects Your Life

 

Welcome Better Surfing Clock

Did you know, how we think about time affects our life, from our emotions, our attitude and our beliefs and behaviors. It’s a psychological construct called time perspective.

Time min
The time perspective refers to how we divide our mental energy among the past, present and future.

It’s about how often we visit these time frames in our mind, the emotions they evoke and their importance in our decision-making process.

Click Here to Listen to MP3, button, www.InternetHypnosis.Shop
Click Here to Listen to Podcast (in production now)

Dr Philip Zimbardo, a pioneer in this field, developed the time perspective inventory, which looks at five dimensions of time perspective,

  • past negative,
  • past positive,
  • present fatalistic,
  • present hedonistic, and
  • future.
  1. Within past negative thinking, we focus on regrettable and painful past experiences. If we were to skew our memories toward past negative perspective often, we would ruminate on past regrets, disappointments and failures.
  2. This kind of thinking is not only destructive, it can keep us ‘stuck’ in past thinking. Holding grudges, or not prepared to take calculated risks for fear of failing only keeps us stuck. Plus, it’s hard for us to enjoy the present and forge ahead. We resign ourselves to being helpless, and hopeless. Throw in some sadness and this can lead to depression. Throw in some fear and trauma and we have PTSD.

As long as we stay stuck in past negative, we stay stuck in hallucinations of depression and PTSD, which for some can lead to suicide.

Trauma (PTSD)

2. With past positive thinking we reflect on the good old days with nostalgia. However, we can become stuck in those illusions and forget to live in the now. Then it’s hard for us to enjoy the present and forge ahead with our future. If the past is ever present on your mind, you are ‘stuck’ in the past.

Reminiscing with past positive perspectives tends to gloss over the past negative. It is one sided and delusional.

WELCOME SMILES CLASSIC

You can idealize your past to the extent that you get stuck in it and are unable to move forward into the present.

Remember, the past either negative or positive, is only a memory, which is not an accurate account of what actually happened.

3. With a present fatalistic perspective. Our feeling of lack of control may cause anxiety, apathy and no motivation to take charge, and go forth and make confident changes to our lives.

According to surveys around 80 per cent of people who have depression also have anxiety. In other words, we have been conditioned to expect more of the same. Instead, we can ‘shake it off’ and reprogram our thinking to plan for and expect a better present and future from the past.

WELCOME LIFE FREE FROM SELF LOATHING CLASSIC

4. If we are focused too much on a present hedonistic perspective, we may experience a lot of immediate gratification, and feel a sense of personal freedom, and agency. But it can also make us act impulsively and have trouble with long term planning.

We can become just subject to the whims of life, with future oriented thinking. We are focused on planning for and anticipating future events with little attention to the present.

We can think of our time perspective as a lens through which we view life. Our mental health can suffer when we over focus on one perspective over another.

With a future oriented perspective, we prioritize planning and goal setting, which is good. But an over focus on the future can rob us of the joys of the present. It’s as if we have someone standing in for us going through the motions until some magic day when we finally live in that moment. Also, the constant striving and planning can cause stress and anxiety. Having our life pass by while we didn’t feel in it can leave us feeling ‘out of our body’, and with a lot of regrets later. This can be especially true if we miss out on special relationships that we can’t get back.  Such as children growing up, or loved ones passing away before we had a chance to enjoy their company.

So, what’s the solution here?

FLOW AND BALANCE CLASSIC PRIME HYPNOSIS

Balance all of these time perspectives, have some value, but excessively focusing on one over the other has negative effects on our wellbeing.
The research suggests that a balanced perspective is weighted in this order.

  1. The most focus should be on past positive. So, we can celebrate our wins.
  2. Have a moderate focus on the future. We can plan more wins.
  3. Have a moderate focus on present hedonistic. So we can enjoy our present.
  4. Focus much less on the past negative. We can learn from our mistakes, but not to the point of punishing ourselves for them.
  5. The least focus on present fatalistic.

So, we can feel strong and self-sufficient.

Here are a few things that you can do to balance your time perspective, to balance a past negative focus, reflect on uplifting moments that you may have had, and just taken for granted when past missteps come to mind.

Welcome Life Free Of Fear Of Failure min,
Mistakes are a learning opportunity.

Allow these positive memories to serve as a counterbalance. Understand that each mistake offers an opportunity to learn instead of being trapped by past regrets, extract lessons from those experiences, embrace both the highs and the lows of your past.

Welcome Learning Ham Radio Theory and exams, InternetHypnosis.shop

Focusing on personal growth over remorse to balance a past positive focus ground yourself in the present. While also setting sights on the future, create actionable goals and anticipate what you have to look forward to, to stay connected to the present practice, mindfulness by immersing yourself in your current experiences, using all of your senses to balance a present hedonistic focus. Spend some time thinking about positive past memories and future goals.

The SECRET of YOUR FUTURE is HIDDEN in YOUR daily ROUTINE.

Monitor any overindulgent behaviors that you’ve engaged in or want to engage in by imagining the law long term impact of that behavior actually picture in your mind what things would be like if you experience the negative consequences to balance a present, fatalistic focus, set some well-defined achievable goals for yourself.

AN ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE CLASSIC PRIME HYPNOSIS

Practice gratitude for past, and present wins. If you feel overwhelmed by life’s unpredictability, focus on the things that you can control like your decisions, reactions and attitudes, then treat yourself to things you enjoy in the moment.

And lastly to balance a future oriented focus, learn to savor the moment by practicing mindfulness and gratitude. You want to find joy in what’s going on right now. Instead of holding back, waiting for something in the future, staying connected to others through conversation also helps keep our perspectives in check because we can see how our beliefs and actions aligned with other people’s views.

Keeping your perspective balanced goes a long way toward promoting mental wellness.

Welcome Life Beyond Fear of Accidents. Welcome Confident Public Speaking

Snakes? Not a problem. Flying? All the time. Confined spaces? Bring it on. Public speaker? No way!

Just thinking about public speaking, often described as the most common of all phobias, can make your blood run cold and your palms sweat. Yet phobias are irrational fears – hallucinations. Fear of public speaking is a social phobia.

Whether we’re talking in a team meeting or presenting in front of an audience, we all have to speak in public from time to time.

No one was born a great public speaker. The good news is that speaking in public is a learned skill.

You might have to make a speech after accepting an award, or to give a presentation. You may be asked to make a speech at a family or friend’s wedding, or give a eulogy for a loved one, or thank a group of volunteers at a charity event.

Being a good public speaker can enhance your reputation, boost your self-confidence, and open up countless new opportunities.

However, just as good public speaking skills can open doors, poor speaking or avoidance altogether can close the doors of opportunity forever.

So how can you be a better public speaker? Here are a few secrets I have put together to help you do just that. public speaker, public speaking

I used to perform a Comedy Hypnosis Show on stage before a paying audience of anywhere between a dozen and perhaps 2000 people. The show was an unscripted audience participation show. It was certainly a good basis for developing my public speaking abilities.

Listening is arguably at least one-half of all communication, so you should be an active listener. public speaker, public speaking

Learn to become an active listener by practicing these 4 simple techniques:

  1. Suspend any biases you may have about the speaker.
  2. Quiet your own mind chatter by focusing on what the speaker is saying.
  3. Listen to their semantics and how they influence the listener.
  4. Engage with the speaker by using your own body language and asking open-ended questions when appropriate, to encourage the speaker.

Before you speak to an audience get to know who they are. When I performed my shows, I always asked the organiser about the audience. I wanted to know the age group, the gender balance, and the interests of the audience. Was I performing for a ‘bucks party’ consisting of young adult males? Children? Aged pensioners? A sporting or corporate group? What was the occasion? Why was I there?

Lucky Four Leaf Clovers min, 4 leaf clovers, leprechaun, © Copyright 2020 Peter Zapfella.

For example, I played before a large group of Irish people for Saint Patrick’s Day. Another show was in a Jewish Synagogue. I regularly performed an X rated show in a swinger’s club. Obviously, each show was molded to suit the audience and the occasion. public speaker, public speaking

Learn as much as you can about your listeners. Then craft your message. This will assist you to structure your delivery, including semantics and content.

Shock! Welcome Life Free From Shock.

Consider launching your presentation with a ‘shocker’ to get their immediate attention. It could be a statistic or amazing revelation. It could be a personal story, and if it is leave it off in a cliff hanger and suddenly change the subject. Only finish the cliff hanger at the conclusion of your talk. It is a great way to ‘open a loop’ and keep them listening to your every word. Then ‘close the loop’ just as you close your presentation. public speaker, public speaking

‘That reminds me of the time I was ice skating on a frozen lake, and I fell though the ice. The freezing cold water was up to my chest as I found an unstable footing on a rock.’

Think about how you can logically structure what you want to say. Introduction, body and conclusion. How can you reveal your message in simple to understand steps, that keep the audience interested? Not too slow and ‘hum-drum’ boring and yet not too advanced and ‘over their heads’.

I remember giving a lesson about radio propagation to infantrymen in the Army. I saw their eyes glass over and thought to myself – ‘I lost them somewhere’. I thought they would understand but I had aimed too high. They did not have a clue what I am talking about. So, at the conclusion I asked their Captain if he thought they understood the content of my presentation. He said they did. Maybe he did, but I had serious doubts about his soldiers.

The semantics you choose to use are important. Are you speaking to professionals in their field who expect you to speak at their level of understanding, with appropriate terms and pronunciations?

Are you speaking to a particular age group or gender who expect you to communicate using their jargon or slang? Choose semantics to suit your target audience. Choose the right words and expressions.  Be sure to pronounce them correctly. public speaker, public speaking

I remember having a conversation with a teenager back in the 1980’s. He commented that something was ‘sick’. I interpreted that as a negative when in fact he was commenting it was ‘bitch’in’ or ‘gorgeous’ to a child of the 1950’s.

Just be aware of cultural differences. Just as some positive words used in one language can be negative, even insulting words, in another – so can body language. p

very-angry-rage

Great speakers can create vivid pictures in the mind of their audience, they use emotive, energetic language. They use color, size, and shape — to create mental images of objects, actions, or ideas. Select lively verbs and speak in an active voice.

Deliver your message with rhythm, pace and tone. Never use a stale monotonous voice. Your audience will quickly become bored, look at their phones or fall asleep. Worse still, they could heckle you, or walk out.

If possible, stop hiding behind a lectern. You can use the whole stage or platform to make a point, to drive a message. Even to create emotional triggers in your audience.

I watch standup comedians work the stage. The inexperienced stand in one place or walk up and down the stage, back and forth is meaningless wanderings.

The professionals walk to a certain place to make a certain point, such as a moment in their own childhood. They may act a child’s tantrum or fane crying. Then they will move to another position, turn and ‘play the part’ of a parent. Each position on that stage becomes associated with that time, place, emotional state, or person.

To reassociate the audience into that state all they need do is walk to that position on stage. That is a sign of a real professional, indeed an actor. It is dynamic delivery. You can use the same technique yourself as a dynamic public speaker.

laying down the law

Add a physical stance to suggest a character.

Pay attention to your own facial expressions and nonverbal body language. Nothing annoys me more than a speaker who waves their arms around for no apparent reason. I see inexperienced TV news reporters on location waving their arms about, as if they cannot get a word out of their mouths without pumping some invisible crank. It is really distracting.

Learn to keep your arms and hands still unless you are using them to make a point. Such as pointing. It takes a lot of practice to speak without moving hands and arms for some people. Perhaps practice your lines while holding something heavy, which is difficult to wave about in the air.

Do not cross your arms unless you want to convey a nonverbal message that you disagree or refuse to be involved. Do not put your hands in your pockets unless you want to indicate a relaxed attitude or fane disinterest.

There are so many nonverbal facial expressions or body language ‘tricks’ available. You would benefit from doing some research so you can better ‘read’ other people and influence nonverbal communication.

Body language is a two-way street. You can use facial expressions and body language in your presentation to make it more effective, and you can read the facial expressions and body language of your listeners or audience for immediate feedback.

  • In discussions and while giving body language feedback to them, you could smile and nod your head in agreement – if you agree. Looking directly at the speaker you could give them a thumbs up.
  • If listening to a speaker and giving body language feedback to them, if you are questioning statements they make, tilt your head (as if trying to look at it from a different angle in an attempt to better understand). Mouth slightly open. Looking directly at the speaker.
  • In discussions, or if listening to a speaker, if you disagree slightly move your head back and chin down, with a grimace expression on the face. Glazing at the speaker with a fixed stare as if challenging their statement.
  • When in discussions, or if listening to a speaker you disagree with their statement move your head slowly from side to side. Silently mouthing the words … ‘No’, or ‘Fucking bullshit”. Look defiantly in the eye of the speaker. Do not be surprised if they question your challenge. So be prepared to ‘put up or shut up’. To avoid a direct confrontation, look down and away from the speaker, turning your head from side to side as if say “No, no, no. This is so bad I cannot even look.”
  • If listening to a speaker, you find their presentation boring you could look at your watch and then look around as if trying to find the exit.  Appear totally distracted as if not listening to a word they are saying. To send an absolute (and somewhat rude) message of boredom take out your phone and look at it. You can use these body language signals to send a nonverbal message to the speaker that their communication is boring. You can be a better public speaker.

They say body language and nonverbal cues are 70 per cent of all communication. As a game you could play nonverbal conversation with someone just by using body language. It is a great way to hone your nonverbal skills after reading all about body language.

Research shows that people believe nonverbal, body language over spoken words.  Listeners trust the nonverbal message. Today I saw a TV interview where the reporter asked a performer “Are you looking forward to going on tour?” The performer said “Yes. I am” as he shook his head “NO!” Who did I believe? His conscious words or his unconscious body language? He was obviously incongruent. He either had mixed feelings or he was an outright liar.  The takeaway from that is to watch your own body language and be consistent with your message.

Effective nonverbal communication includes:

  • Appropriate neat attire for the event.
  • Good posture.
  • Control of those flapping arms and hands, with purposeful movement.
  • Appropriate energy and enthusiasm.
  • Connecting with the audience through appropriate eye contact, and perhaps questions and answers (audience participation). Some standup comedians do this well.

When you speak, engage your audience. It makes you feel less isolated as a speaker and keeps everyone involved in your presentation. If appropriate, ask leading questions targeted to individuals (the technique is to ask the question, then nominate the person to answer. This keeps everyone engaged because they don’t want to be asked to answer a question when they were not listening) and encourage people to participate by contributing comments and asking questions.

I used to make out that someone in the audience had made a comment I had overheard. I used that as a segway into a topic or to make a special point, as if I was responding to something someone had said. If you can get away with it, I think it is better than saying “people ask me …” it suggests engagement with the audience.

Be direct, spontaneous, and animated. Use vocal and facial expressions to make a point and liven things up. Use the stage or platform, use body language. Be prepared to fall into character using voices and stance. But do it with purpose so that it has more impact.  It is possible to overdo a good thing.

I suggest you record or better still video your own rehearsal, then listen or watch back for improvement and development, such as filler words, up talk, monotone, and run-on sentences, as well as any habits, such as lip smacking, that sound or look awkward or uncomfortable. Tweak your words so they flow smoothly and naturally for you. How can you improve your stage craft? Identifying the problem is the first step towards tackling it.

I am reminded by something said by one of Australia’s leading television personalities. He records all of his performances. Then listens back while going for a ride on his bike. He can critic his own performance and perfect it just a little more. Sometimes he finds an unconscious gem he was unaware he had said. So, he consciously incorporates it into his routine. He never stops reviewing and improving his own performances. He admits he can always do better.

If possible, do a ‘dummy run through’ in front of a small audience: this will help make you feel more comfortable with the material, and calm your jitters. Your audience can also give you useful feedback, both on your material and on your performance. Record it and play back to yourself.

You can research and rehearse your work beforehand to organise your ideas in a logical sequence. Understand your audience and how best to communicate to them in a way they will find it informative, entertaining, even transformational. It will make you a better speaker. If your listeners are bored or confused, modify your verbal and nonverbal message — inject some humour, or even change direction if that is what it takes.

As a speaker I am prepared, and know what I want to convey, however I am also ready to toss it all to the wind and take an uncharted course. I have for example, had to do that when the audio visuals failed. I needed the images to keep track of my steps through a presentation, in logical sequence. Without them I had to ‘wing it’.

That’s when you need a timekeeper to signal how many minutes you have left, so you can give a completed conclusion. Someone holds up a card indicating how many minutes you have left. Or, as I used in my Comedy Hypnosis Shows, a ‘cuckoo clock’ sound effect would come through the speakers to signal how many minutes I had left in the show.

Perhaps you could use an easily visible count down stopwatch? But this can only work for you if you look at it from time-to-time. A vibrating alarm in your underpants would get your attention!

A flexible style not only helps you get your point across more effectively, but also keeps everyone on their toes and actively engaged.

If you’re nervous, you may be inclined to talk quickly. This increases the chances that you will trip over your words or be misunderstood. Slow down by breathing deeply. Gather your thoughts; pauses are an important part of good communication. They can be used for dramatic effect, to emphasise what you say next, and to make you sound more confident, natural, and authentic. Look around and smile toward someone in the audience. “Nice to see you back here again.”  Without looking at someone person in particular. Never-the-less, it’s a great personal touch.

Politicians often repeat what they just said as they scramble their thoughts for the next words.

Avoid standing at a podium, face down, reading word-for-word from your notes. Instead, know your subject, make a list of important points, memorise the key points of what you want to say – you can still refer back to your cue cards or audio-visual aids to keep track when you need them.

When performing my Comedy Hypnosis Shows I would stick my running sheet of routines on the floor or behind a curtain or speaker, where the audience could not see it. All I had to do was glace down to read the next routine I was about to perform. My crew had the same list, so they could cue music, sound and lighting (including smoke and bubbles) FX.

Use affirmations and visualisation to raise your confidence. Visualise having just given a successful presentation and imagine how you feel now it’s over and people are complimenting your performance.

I listened to positive affirmations every night for weeks before I performed my first Comedy Hypnosis Show.

Before you speak in front of others, we are inclined to envision embarrassing, even humiliating things happening. Even the most accomplished performers and speakers suffer some nerves shortly before they step out before the lights and a microphone. But they disappear in an instant as they launch into the performance.

Have you ever seen a speaker so nervous they mess up completely? I think the only place you will see that happen is at comedy ‘try outs’ where they come along ill prepared and really have no idea what they are doing.

No. I am wrong about that. I once attended a much-advertised performance in my hometown by a guy who had a comedy hypnosis routine at the concert hall, so I went along. It was the most disorganised, haphazard routine I had ever seen. He obviously had no idea what he was doing in front of a paying audience. He could not hypnotise any of his volunteer performers (whom I suspect were friends), so he sent them back to their seats in the audience, and then called for more volunteers. But they were not the problem – his routine was crap. He had not done his research. He had not prepared. He did not know what he was doing. He crashed and burned in an overhyped, under performed show. I never heard or saw anything about a repeat performance from him. I think it was his first and only attempt.

You can learn from his mistakes. Before you stand up and give a speech to any size audience – research, prepare and practice.

People cite public speaking to an audience as their greatest fear. Fear of failure is at the foundation. The “fight or flight” response kicks in: adrenaline courses through the bloodstream, the heart rate increases, thumping in the chest, clammy hands wringing wet with sweat, a dizzy feeling and a burning desire to run away.

However, those same hormones that cause all that distress also drive exhilaration. It is that feeling that ignites the buzz that elite sports people and entertainers talk about. Yes, they feel the nerves at first and then it changes into something incredible.

It is as if pressure builds before the performance and then transmutes into something that enhances the experience. By changing your mindset, you can use nervous energy to your advantage.

The microphone is your friend.

Focus all your attention on your audience: you’re there to entertain, inform and educate them. Your message is why they are there. They are ‘with you’, not ‘against you’. Just before you speak take deep breath right down into your belly, hold it for a couple of seconds, and let it out slowly. As you do, visualise letting all the fear and anxiety leaving with the breath.

You can be a better public speaker:

  1. Remember nervousness is normal before any presentation or performance.
  2. Prepare, practice, and then practice some more.
  3. Know your audience.
  4. Tailor your material specifically for them.
  5. Use audience feedback and be flexible.
  6. Audiovisual aids should enhance or clarify your content or capture and maintain your audience’s attention without distracting from it.
  7. Be dynamic and memorable.
  8. Do not wave your hands and arms about like a drunk bird. Put your arms down and only use gestures to reinforce what you are saying. Nothing more.
  9. Use language (semantics) appropriately and effectively for your audience.
  10. Use humour. Tell stories. You could inject a funny anecdote in your presentation, and you would certainly grab your audience’s attention. Audiences generally like a personal touch in a speech. Grab at something, as I did, and pull yourself up and out of the hole in the ice lake. Get into warm dry clothes as soon as possible, and feel good.
  11. Do not stand behind a podium, with head down and reading every word with a boring monotonous voice.
  12. Grab attention at the beginning. Insert an ‘opening loop’ story. Give a logical, easy flow body followed by a conclusion that wraps everything up into a nice bundle. Close the loop and throw in a dynamic end.

No one was born a great public speaker. Even the greatest performers and presenters were ‘bad’ when they started. They prepared and practiced. Then they practiced some more. They started early so they had time on their side – Never rushed. Never panicked. They took their time and made mistakes which they learned from as they perfected their craft.

A magician once told me that you have to do 100 magic shows before you can become proficient as a magician.

Now you have been given the secrets of success as a public speaker. Put them into practice. Visualise it. Do it.

Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound

There has been a recent boom in people using the prescription medicine Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound — brands containing the active ingredient semaglutide. It is actually a medication used to treat diabetes. Some use it for sudden, fast weight loss. Its appeal lies in the easy, no effort, yet significant weight loss that can be achieved while misusing the medication. Control Your Weight Naturally – Without Dangerous Drugs

But what happens inside the body if you lose weight rapidly? What are the side effects?

Endocrinologist and obesity specialist Marcio Griebeler, MD, explains why slow and steady wins the weight-loss race over fast and furious.

A phenomenon known colloquially as “Ozempic face” offers some clues.

Do not believe the flashy ads that promise amazing weight loss within a few short weeks or less. Most of the time, those fad diets are not only difficult to maintain, they bad news for your health too. Control Your Weight Naturally

“When you lose weight too quickly, your body slows down its calorie-burning process,” explains Dr. Griebeler. “That is your body’s way of trying to ensure you don’t starve. You might lose a good amount of weight right away, but your metabolism quickly goes into survival mode.”

The change in your metabolism is a key reason why people regain weight after trying rapid weight loss. When you go back to eating a regular diet, your metabolism isn’t used to that many calories — and the weight come back, plus a bit extra. It is as of the body is saying ‘don’t do that again, or I will punish you for it.’

When you cut way back on calorie intake, you might see that number on the scale drop like a stone. But it’s not only the excess fat you’re losing. You’re also losing muscle. The body is cannibalising itself.

“Sudden and severe calorie restriction will make you lose muscle mass as well as fat,” warns Dr. Griebeler. “It’s harder to lose weight when you don’t have enough muscle mass because muscles burn lots of calories.” So fast and furious weight loss is actually self-defeating.

On the other hand, slower weight loss combined with exercise, gives your body time to lose fat while keeping your muscle mass. And bonus: You keep your muscles’ calorie-burning power intact. So slow and steady wins the day.

Remember the rabbit and turtle race? Same applies to successful weight loss.

Your body needs a certain amount of fat, protein and carbs to function. It also needs a whole range of vitamins and minerals. When you slash calories or cut out entire food groups such as carbs or dairy, you risk:

Digestive problems, including constipation.

Fatigue and loss of energy.

Loss of bone density and strength.

Low immunity to infections.

Hair loss.

“There’s nothing wrong with cutting calories if you’re eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods,” says Dr. Griebeler. “Your diet should contain a wide variety of healthy, whole foods. Don’t try to cut more than 500 calories a day.”

When you go for fast weight loss, you may find that it gets harder — not easier — to keep losing weight. A couple of weeks in, you’ll likely feel tired and exhausted all the time. You certainly won’t feel like exercising. The temptation to crawl into bed.

Do not blame a lack of willpower. It’s your hormones, and they’re doing exactly what they were designed to do.

“Cutting too many calories too quickly triggers hormonal changes that make you want to eat,” says Dr. Griebeler. The constant food cravings are a cry for help. “Even a very determined person will find it difficult to overpower those hunger hormones. These fast hormonal changes make you so hungry that they set you up for diet failure.”

Steady and consistent weight loss is the key to success.

Healthy weight loss isn’t just about what you eat and do not eat. You need physical activity if you want the best results.

Cardiovascular exercise such as brisk walking burns calories, but strength training is just as important. When you lift weights or do resistance training, you increase muscle mass. And when you have more muscle mass, you:

Burn more calories, even at rest.

Improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls.

Reduce joint pain and symptoms of arthritis so you can keep moving and losing weight.

Strengthen your bones and reduce your risk of fractures and osteoporosis.

Make good quality sleep, not just quantity sleep a priority.

Personally, I have joined a local gym 3 days a week, with a personal trainer. I briskly walk 40 minutes to the gym as a warmup. Then in conclusion I walk 40 minutes home again.

Ever notice that when you’re exhausted you want to eat more? When you’re tired, your hunger hormones flood in and ruin your chances of bypassing temptations. They put sugary temptations in front of us wherever we go.

If you’re regularly missing out on quality sleep, even the best weight loss plan is going to suffer.

“Aim for at least seven or eight hours of quality sleep each night,” says Dr. Griebeler. If you consistently have trouble sleeping, go to https://www.peterzapfella.com/product-category/dreams_and_metaphysical/.

Can your diet plan become your new lifestyle.  Could you do it for the rest of your life? Can you cut out a couple of hundred calories a day?

The best diet is one you will stick to (as a new lifestyle),” says Dr. Griebeler. “Changing our habits can be done (when you know how). Choose a diet plan that allows you to have an occasional piece of chocolate or slice of pizza. It’s much easier to keep doing these types of plans for months and even years.”

Personally, I take one day off per week when I can break all my rules and eat anything want. The next day I pay for it by eating nothing. I only drink water. That shocks the metabolism and starts the process of weight loss.

For the next 5 days I eat normally – for me. That is eggs, fish, fruit and vegetables. A small amount of dairy. And plenty of nuts, seeds and natural grape seed and olive oil. It is what they call a “Mediterranean diet”.

I have cut sugar from everything. I avoid starch and processed foods like the plague. I rarely eat red meat.

How many calories is the right number per day?

Many factors go into determining calorie needs. Age, weight, gender, height, race and activity level all play a role. According to dietary guidelines in the United States, adults 21 years old and older should consume somewhere between 1,600 and 3,000 calories per day. That’s a ballpark figure which takes into consideration all the factors I just mentioned.

Registered dietitian Julia Zumpano, RD, LD, helps us do the math to more accurately find what is better for you.

A calorie is a measure of the energy in food. To maintain your weight, energy in must equal energy out (average calories consumed per day vs. average calories burned per day).

So, the answer is simple. Eating fewer calories than you burn, and you will lose weight. But if you consume more calories than you need, your body stores the energy for later as fat.

That was fine hundreds of thousands of year’s ago when humanity was evolving into who we are today. They hunted and gathered food while it was plentiful, ate it and stored the energy as fat. Then when they almost hibernated in their caves during the cold winters they survived. The extra fat layer they created during Spring and Summer gave them an extra insulation lay during Winter.

Those skinny people who were less efficient fat storers died and failed to reproduce. So through a process of natural selection, we have a highly developed ability to gain weight.

However, we do not live in caves anymore to shelter from the snow outside. We have central heating and supermarkets. And so, we get fat.

How many calories should you be eating a day today?

Everybody’s daily calorie needs are different, which can make it hard to figure out the magic number. In general, men and people assigned the male gender at birth (AMAB) need more calories than women and people assigned the female gender at birth (AFAB).

Physically active people need more than those who have desk jobs. And younger people need more than older people, whose metabolisms slow down as they age.

“As a farmer I ate twice as much as my wife. I had a slim yet wry, muscled physic because I was working outside (often in the cold) all day.”

These factors can impact your caloric intake:

Gender.

Height.

Weight.

Age.

Activity level.

Hormones.

Medications.

Your basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the minimum calories per day your body needs to function while resting. Your BMR contains around 70 per cent of the energy used by your body. That number changes depending on if you lose, gain or maintain your body weight.

So, how do you calculate your BMR? If you wear a smartwatch to track your fitness, BMR is used to come up with your daily goals. You can also find BMR calculators online.

“BMR is an essential starting point for calculating calories, although is it an estimate and is not 100% accurate,” clarifies Zumpano. “The most accurate means of measuring your BMR is direct calorimetry or indirect calorimetry, although those methods are not commonly used or available, therefore the Mifflin St-Joer equation is best to use and is only about 10% off. Most health professionals, apps and online calorie calculators use this equation.”

And while it’s a good idea to know how many calories you need each day, it also matters what kind of calories you’re consuming. “Empty calories” can be found in junk foods, sugar-sweetened beverages and processed foods — items that typically contain added sugar, trans fat and an unnecessary amount of fat and calories.

While you might get a boost of energy from consuming those foods, they tend to be void of nutrition — specifically fiber, minerals and vitamins. Those empty calories are designed by food scientists to make you want more, leading to food cravings and overconsumption. You may even feel tired or fatigued. These foods also promote inflammation and gut dysbiosis, which can both inhibit weight loss and eventually lead to disease.

Instead, make sure you focus on eating a well-balanced diet full of fruits and vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, nuts, seeds and vegetables oils (rather than animal fats).

“Keep in mind, these calorie recommendations are for people who are at a normal weight,” states Zumpano. “If your weight is above the normal range for your height and your goal is weight loss, you need to consume less. A deficit of 500 calories can provide a weight loss of 1 pound per week.”

Depending on what your goals are, here are some healthy ways you can maintain, add or lose weight.

 

To gain weight

If your goal is to gain weight, don’t just focus on eating more. You want to make sure you add weight in a healthy way.

Opt for high-calorie nutrient-dense foods such as meat, fatty fish, eggs, full-fat yogurt, whole grains, nuts and oils. You should also consider eating more often (6 times a day) and looking for ways to add extra calories to each meal. For example, adding nuts or seeds to your yogurt, oatmeal or cereal.

“Don’t forget to include more liquid calories that won’t leave you feeling too full by the next meal,” advises Zumpano. “Opt for high-calorie beverages like whole milk, cream, 100% fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies and high-calorie nutrition shakes.”

 

To lose weight

If you’re trying to lose weight, you might be tempted to radically slash your calorie count to reach your goals.

Proceed with caution, Zumpano says. If you eat fewer than 1,200 calories per day to lose weight, it’s tough to get all of the nutrients you need to stay healthy. And eating too little can work against you — it can halt weight loss and even lead to weight gain due to being in starvation mode leading to fat storage.

 

Extreme calorie restriction might backfire.

On an average day, you may burn anywhere from 1,300 to 2,000 calories without any physical activity. You can add some extra exercise to burn more calories.

“Regular exercise not only burns calories, which means you don’t need to cut back as much, but it also builds muscle which uses up more calories, therefore increasing your BMR,” explains Zumpano. “This allows for a more balanced diet and the ability to get all the nutrients you need.”

 

To maintain weight

If your goal is to maintain your current weight, Zumpano says you need to balance how many calories you eat or drink with the same number of calories you burn through physical activity and exercise.

“Weight maintenance can be tricky because your caloric needs change all the time,” she says. “Factors such as age, increased or decreased muscle mass, change in activity, health conditions and medications can influence your weight without you even realizing it.”

Should I monitor or track your daily caloric intake?

How many calories should I eat in a day? If you’ve pondered this question, it’s a good idea to have a sense of your daily calorie needs and to be aware of how the calories in your favourite foods add up. Those numbers can help guide your decisions about what to eat and what to save for another day.

But if numbers aren’t your thing, never fear. You don’t have to obsess over calories to stay healthy.

“Plenty of people lose weight not by counting calories, but by focusing on the quality of the foods they consume and on portion control,” says Zumpano.

 

Bottom line?

If you’re a person who likes to track and measure things, you could benefit from determining exactly how many calories you need.

Digital apps and online calorie calculators can help, Zumpano says. But because it can be complicated (are you really active, pretty active or just kind of active?), she recommends seeing a dietitian to get an expert’s opinion.

They can take factors like your age, sex, medications, lifestyle, weight history, family history and activity level into account and provide you with information on how to tailor your meals and exercise.

Whether you’re trying to lose, gain or maintain your weight, figuring out how many calories will help you achieve your goal is key.

It’s important to understand how many calories you’re consuming compared to how many calories your body needs. And the source of where those calories are coming from is important, too.

“For example, consuming 200 calories from 16 ounces of soda is metabolized differently than 200 calories from 1 ounce of nuts,” says Zumpano.

“You’re gaining vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and healthy fats from the nuts and no nutritional benefits from the soda. Not to mention that the refined sugars and artificial ingredients in the soda can lead to inflammation and increased blood sugars, which will eventually lead to health problems.”

There has been a recent boom in people using the prescription medicine OzempicOzempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound

Wegovy, and Zepbound — brands containing the active ingredient semaglutide. It is actually a medication used to treat diabetes. Some use it for sudden, fast weight loss. Its appeal lies in the easy, no effort, yet significant weight loss that can be achieved while misusing the medication.

But what happens inside the body if you lose weight rapidly? What are the side effects?

Endocrinologist and obesity specialist Marcio Griebeler, MD, explains why slow and steady wins the weight-loss race over fast and furious.

A phenomenon known colloquially as “Ozempic face” offers some clues. Basically, people who use Ozempic and other semaglutide medications for weight loss tend to suffer from the following;

  • increased signs of aging, such as more lines and wrinkles.
  • loss of fat, which can lead the skin to become loose and sag.
  • a hollowed-out appearance.
  • lipodystrophy, which affects how the body accumulates and stores fat.

A phenomenon dubbed “Ozempic Personality” is gaining attention as users of these misused medication as weight loss drugs — they may cause mood deterioration, anxiety, depression, anhedonia (loss of interest in pleasurable activities), and decreased libido.

The trouble with any drug treatment is the potential to cause side effects, both short term and long term.

Do not believe the flashy ads that promise amazing weight loss within a few short weeks or less. Most of the time, those fad diets are not only difficult to maintain, they have bad news for your health too.

“Keep in mind, these calorie recommendations are for people who are at a normal weight,” states Zumpano. “If your weight is above the normal range for your height and your goal is weight loss, you need to consume less. A deficit of 500 calories can provide a weight loss of 1 pound per week.”

Depending on what your goals are, here are some healthy ways you can maintain, add or lose weight.

To gain weight

If your goal is to gain weight, don’t just focus on eating more. You want to make sure you add weight in a healthy way.

Opt for high-calorie nutrient-dense foods such as meat, fatty fish, eggs, full-fat yogurt, whole grains, nuts and oils. You should also consider eating more often (6 times a day) and looking for ways to add extra calories to each meal. For example, adding nuts or seeds to your yogurt, oatmeal or cereal.

“Don’t forget to include more liquid calories that won’t leave you feeling too full by the next meal,” advises Zumpano. “Opt for high-calorie beverages like whole milk, cream, 100% fruit and vegetable juices, smoothies and high-calorie nutrition shakes.”

For weight loss

If you’re trying to lose weight, you might be tempted to radically slash your calorie count to reach your goals.

Proceed with caution, Zumpano says. If you eat fewer than 1,200 calories per day to lose weight, it’s tough to get all of the nutrients you need to stay healthy. And eating too little can work against you — it can halt weight loss and even lead to weight gain due to being in starvation mode leading to fat storage.

Extreme calorie restriction might backfire.

On an average day, you may burn anywhere from 1,300 to 2,000 calories without any physical activity. You can add some extra exercise to burn more calories.

“Regular exercise not only burns calories, which means you don’t need to cut back as much, but it also builds muscle which uses up more calories, therefore increasing your BMR,” explains Zumpano. “This allows for a more balanced diet and the ability to get all the nutrients you need.”

To maintain weight

If your goal is to maintain your current weight, Zumpano says you need to balance how many calories you eat or drink with the same number of calories you burn through physical activity and exercise.

“Weight maintenance can be tricky because your caloric needs change all the time,” she says. “Factors such as age, increased or decreased muscle mass, change in activity, health conditions and medications can influence your weight without you even realizing it.”

Should I monitor or track my daily caloric intake?

How many calories should I eat in a day? If you’ve pondered this question, it’s a good idea to have a sense of your daily calorie needs and to be aware of how the calories in your favourite foods add up. Those numbers can help guide your decisions about what to eat and what to save for another day.

But if numbers aren’t your thing, never fear. You don’t have to obsess over calories to stay healthy.

“Plenty of people lose weight not by counting calories, but by focusing on the quality of the foods they consume and on portion control,” says Zumpano.

Bottom line?

If you’re a person who likes to track and measure things, you could benefit from determining exactly how many calories you need.

Digital apps and online calorie calculators can help, Zumpano says. But because it can be complicated (are you really active, pretty active or just kind of active?), she recommends seeing a dietitian to get an expert’s opinion.

They can take factors such as your age, gender, medications, lifestyle, weight history, family history and activity level into account and provide you with information on how to tailor your meals and exercise.

Whether you’re trying to lose, gain or maintain your weight, figuring out how many calories will help you achieve your goal is key.

It’s important to understand how many calories you’re consuming compared to how many calories your body needs. And the source of where those calories are coming from is important, too.

“For example, consuming 200 calories from 16 ounces of soda is metabolized differently than 200 calories from 1 ounce of nuts,” says Zumpano.

“You’re gaining vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein and healthy fats from the nuts and no nutritional benefits from the soda. Not to mention that the refined sugars and artificial ingredients in the soda can lead to inflammation and increased blood sugars, which will eventually lead to health problems.”

LOVE – What is it?

Love is perhaps the most profound of all emotions. According to the “Book of Miracles’ it is the one true emotion, all positive emotions derive from love.

All negative emotions are forms of fear. Love is the one true emotion because fear is an illusion. The only power in fear is the power we give it over us. Once confronted it disappears.

Welcome Love min
Love at first sight? Welcome Love

Love is a basic necessity in everyone’s life. Without it, we would be physically and psychologically maladjusted. 

“When emotional deprivation and lack of love occur, physical growth slows down or stops. The body enters into a survival mode where vital, basic physiological functions are preserved at the cost of physical, mental, and social development. The longer the child is in survival mode, the more permanent and negative the effects will be. Once a child is adopted and the amount of love, care, and stimulation increases, the body ceases to be in survival mode and will start recuperating.” The Conversation.

The brain changes triggered by love certainly affect our mood and behavior. The neurotransmitters and hormones associated with attraction, sex and love are oxytocin, dopamine, norepinephrine, vasopressin and testosterone.

Love apparently affects the immune system. A 2019 study found that falling in love results in immune system changes similar to protective viral infection responses.

Love seems to help safeguard against cancer, according to a 2021 study. It found tissue from pair-bonded mice was less likely to grow tumors than tissue from mice with disruptions to their pair bonds.

Research from 2010 also suggests people who are romantically in love enjoy lower levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. They are less stressed. Love assists in pain relief, and lower blood pressure.

Love-can-blow-depression-out-of-the-water-Peter-Zapfella.
Love can blow depression out of the water Peter Zapfella

Researchers say that a sure-fire cure for depression is romantic love. The neuro hormones blow depression out of the water.

“They have shown us that those couples who have happy, intimate marriages and are in love live on average, 10 years longer than those who are not in relationships.” The Studies on Love and Longevity

Love is wonderful, it is madness. It is a form of obsessive-compulsive behavior. 

When we first romantically fall in love with someone, it’s normal for them to be the focus of everything on our mind. We think of them constantly. (There is no place for depression) Over time this thought/feeling subsides as the neurotransmitters in the brain fade. Hopefully our love is requited (returned), and it develops into something saner and more long term for both (in more or less equal and balanced measure).

If the subject of our emotions does not return those love feelings to us, we tend to fall into depression. There we experience rejection, self-loathing, unhappiness etc.

Some individuals crave the euphoric feelings of infatuation and the early pangs of love. Thats all they want – nothing more, nothing deeper. So, their cravings lead to an addiction. They seek other people to fall in love with in an   idealized romantic attachment, until the neuro hormones begin to fade. Then they abruptly move on to another (victim).  They lack commitment. Perhaps they fear commitment? If this is you get help.

Scientists‘ from Aalto University in Finland used magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure brain activity, while they induced feelings of love in volunteers using short stories. They investigated the neural activity during feelings of love for six different types of objects: romantic partners, one’s own children, friends, strangers (varieties of interpersonal love), nonhuman pets (interspecies love), and nature (nonsocial love).  

The results found that love for their children induced the most amount of brain activity, followed by romantic love.

Yet love is such a difficult thing to define. It is perhaps the most misunderstood and confused word in the English language. What is love?

American psychologist Dr. Robert Sternberg theorizes that love is based on three domains:

  • intimacy (emotional)
  • commitment (cognitive)
  • passion (physical)
Sternberg’s triangular theory
Sternberg’s triangular theory

Each domain represents a triangle corner in Sternberg’s triangular theory of love. I like it.

The seven kinds of love in Sternberg’s triangular theory cover a range of relationship types, created by which domains are involved.

  • Liking. Friendship You share emotional intimacy, but there’s no physical passion or commitment.
  • Infatuation. ‘Puppy Love’ Passion is the key ingredient. You are physically attracted to another, but you have not developed the emotional intimacy or established a commitment. Infatuation can and often leads to something more. but more often it fades.
  • Empty Love is a committed relationship that lacks passion or intimacy. 
  • Romantic Love. Romantically involved, sharing physical passion and emotional intimacy, but no commitment.
  • Companionate Love. Committed and emotionally bonded, such as best friends or family. Marriages with no passion. 
  • Fatuous. You have been swept off your feet. Perhaps all the way, powered by passion, into an engagement or marriage without any emotional intimacy.
  • Consummate Love. Consummate love is the ultimate goal through spousal partnerships and marriage.  Ideally it includes balanced commitment, passion, and emotional intimacy. The one true love between two people.

One way to achieve this is through committed Tantric – Sexual Wellness training with your partner.

Meditation – better communication

When is the ‘right time’ to have sex for the ‘first time’ with your partner? Some say, ‘on the third date’ with reference to something said in the TV series ‘Sex in the City’. Some long-term couples say they had sex together on their first date together. Sometimes they say ‘something happened’ as they were chatting, they had ‘a connection’, and they just knew it was right. Some say they won’t have sex until they are officially engaged or even married – no matter what they feel. Who is right, and who is wrong? They all are right! Just as long as it is consensual, not pressured. You certainly do not have to have sex because of something said in a TV show! Or, because you were drunk on alcohol or stoned on illicit drugs and do not remember anything that happened! That will more often lead to regret next morning.

There are some basic ‘rules’ to achieving and maintaining a deep romantic loving relationship with another person. These include (in no particular order);

1. Never rush into a romantic relationship. Never force it, let it grow. at its own pace Give it space to become Consummate Love. Never expect the other person to live up to your expectations. It is not a competition. Accept that your love interest cannot give you attention 24/7. If you cannot do that get help.

2. Jealousy has no place in a loving relationship. The emotions that build include trust and acceptance.  Jealousy sparked by love can suggest you have a strong commitment to your partner and don’t want to lose them. However, jealousy is born from your own insecurities. Never snoop on their privacy. (Social media is in the public arena, so checking his or her social media accounts is not snooping). If you feel jealous discuss it with your partner. 

3. Love means doing things together yet giving each other space to pursue individual interests too. It is sharing without resentment.

4. Love is a risk. Everything worthwhile is a risk, including personal relationships. Are you brave enough to let yourself commit to another person unconditionally?

5. Love is not controlling, changing, or manipulating another person. If you feel a need to do those things – you are in the wrong relationship. 

6. Your Consummate lover should be your best friend to the exclusion of all others. Do you keep secrets from your partner but share them with someone else? So, love includes trust. Without trust – you are in the wrong relationship.

7. Consummate Love is being open and honest with your partner. Keep secrets between you and your partner. Prove you can be trusted. People outside the relationship do not need to know the details.

8. Love should involve some level of mutual compromise and sacrifice with your partner. If they are doing all the taking while you are doing all the giving. If your partner refuses to compromise, even after talking to them about it, then you are in the wrong relationship.

9. How to restore passion in your relationship? This and more relevant research and information is discussed in this article in the Psychology Today magazine.

10. If you are having difficulties within your relationship the person to talk about it with is your partner. It is about effective interpersonal communication, both ways. Thats what Marriage Counsellors are about –

WELCOME-LOVE-FOR-YOUR-BODY-min

11. Love is accepting we are all different and we have different opinions. So, it includes mutual respect.

12. No one is perfect. We all have imperfections – including yourself. So, love includes acceptance of yourself and your partner. Warts and all.

13.  A great marriage takes effort from both partners to commit to each other. If one is not in the relationship, then there is no relationship.

14. Ultimately, love is about accepting the other person for who they are. For better or worse. For richer or poor.er In sickness and in health. If you are not prepared for that, you are in the wrong relationship. So, love includes being unconditional.

15. ‘Lust’ is not love. Although Consummate Love often starts with lust and overtime develops into something more. However, lust can also develop into ….  hate! We all know a couple who met and enjoyed a passionate whirlwind ‘romance’. Perhaps a baby was born, and it all became too much hard work. Then what they had together burnt out and died (typically somewhere between 6 and 24 months). The lust filled relationship – not the baby of course. They had the passion but no commitment. Then the passion died, and they had nothing.

16. The introduction of children into a relationship change the dynamics forever. What was before the birth of the first child is gone, with perhaps fleeting moments from time-to-time. A couple who have love can adapt and change with the circumstances.

17. When you have those important talks you can both have a ‘special word’ that means turn off the phone we need to talk. Stop everything and actively listen. Aim to listen at least 50 per cent of the conversation by silencing the self-talk in your head and listening. Then ask intelligent questions to clarify and understand what your partner is communicating. Look into your partners eyes – very important as you listen.

18. Physical, non-sexual, touch. Hugs caresses. whispers. Time alone. A favorite tune? Long walks on the beach together? Which of these are your ‘love language’? Do you have others?

19. Never forget the little things you used to do for your partner – and do them again. Fresh flowers? A favorite home cooked meal? A special song? Her favorite perfume? Make time for each other – if only a few minutes.

20. You are never too busy to say “I love you” every day with a gentle kiss.

Always ask your partner about their day. Listen and share.

“You get all the love you think you deserve. You deserve it all. But you need to work on it together.”

Peter Zapfella

If you have trouble finding someone who can love you, maybe you should be looking at yourself. Do you have a deep self-belief that you ‘do not deserve love’, or perhaps you believe you ‘do not deserve happiness’? If this rings true for you get help.

There are many kinds of love, but the inter-personal love of a romantic relationship with a compatible partner begins with learning how to be loving through the inter-personal love between a mother and child.

It is vital that a mother loves her child so that child feels secure and develops the foundations of a healthy self-esteem. The joys and the pain, because it is through those that we learn and grow the most.

Children need to feel love and to feel wanted. Children need to learn about balanced commitment, passion, and emotional intimacy from their primary role models. I don’t think it matters if the parents are heterosexual or lesbian or homosexual as long as they have balanced commitment, passion, and emotional intimacy for each other. and their children witness and enjoy unconditional love.

Now that I have 20/20 vision about my own marriage, I realise I/we would have benefited by asking a series of probing questions on our first and second dates. These could be revealing questions on a first date for anyone.

  • Q. Tell me about your parents and siblings?
  • Q. Who is your best friend, that you share all your secrets with?
  • Q. What items are at the top of your bucket list?
  • Q. If you inherited a fortune tomorrow what would be the first things you would do with it?
  • Q. What is your dream job?
  • Q. What do you do for charity, for other people, without expectation of anything in return?
  • Q. How do you feel about having children?
  • Q. Are you prepared to sacrifice your own wants and desires (your bucket list) for your relationship. and for your future children?
  • Q. If they made a movie about you, who would you choose to play the role of you?
  • Q. If they made a movie about your life who would you choose to play the role of your leading man/lady?
  • Q. What is your language of love?
  • Q. What is your hidden talent?
  • Q. What is your hidden addiction?
  • Q. What did you do with your spare time during the pandemic?
  • Q. Have you had a relationship (or an affair) with a married person? (Are you currently married?)
  • Q. Why did you come on this date with me? What/who are you looking for and why?

Of course, you must be prepared to answer these same questions truthfully in return.

Synonyms of the word love include; acceptance and affection and appreciation and commitment and devotion and emotion and fondness and friendship’s and infatuation and lust and passion. Also tenderness and trust and adulation and , allegiance and attachment and cherishing and delight and devoted and enjoyment and fidelity and involvement and like and rapture and regard and worship.

People who feel they have love in their lives also feel self-fulfillment and self-love. The first step toward finding love is changing one’s own self-talk. Even if that self-talk means ‘faking it until you make it’, so that you can create your own new self-beliefs.

Another simpler way is to listen to the Welcome Love MP3 often.

Skin Whitening with Glutathione Dependency

Almost forty percent (40%) of those surveyed in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan admitted to using skin whitening products.

Global spending on skin lightening products is growing at the rate of 10 per cent every year. It is projected to hit US$31.2 billion by next year, according to a report released by the research firm Global Industry Analysts.

“This is a reflection upon users low self-esteem and lack of self-worth. They would be better to treat their emotional well being than the tint of their skin colour” says Peter Zapfella.

It is one thing to ‘like it‘, another to ‘want it’. But when a user ‘needs it‘ or ‘craves it’ chemical skin whitening becomes a dependency.

In some countries where locals have naturally darker skin, they visit saloons for regular injections of glutathione to help whiten their skin. It has also become a hot whitening topical ingredient in toners, soaps, facial wash, sunblock, moisturizers, lotions, and creams. W

Shilpa Shetty, skin whitening
………………Shilpa Shetty

Maria Thattil who was crowned Miss Universe Australia 2020 is of Indian descent. She said all Bollywood actors have light colored skin. This sends subliminal messages to Indian people about the relationship between fair skin and success. Fair skin and perceived beauty.

In the Philippines media celebrities are often of mixed-race, Filipino/Caucasian heritage. They have lighter skin tones.

Colourism or colorism is prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group:

Colorism drives self-rejection and self loathing in sufferers. usually within the suffers own race and often within their own family fair skinned children are perceived to be more valued and superior to darker skinned children based on the color of their skin. It is related to racism but is worse because it is about people of the same race and perhaps the same family.

While some say colorism has its roots in European colonial attitudes others argue that it existed before colonial settlement.

In an effort to overcome low self-esteem, self-respect and validate themselves many dark-skinned people, particularly girls, are trying to become more fair skinned.

Treatments are not cheap. Yet they are popular because they suggest beauty, mixed-race heritage, and up-market lifestyle. 

The driving force, they say, is “rampant darker skin stigma and the rigid cultural perception that correlates lighter skin tone with beauty and personal success”. Around the world, the well off and better-educated generally work indoors while the poor work outside in full sunlight, engaged in manual labor. Because of the long hours of sun exposure, they are more dark-skinned than those who spend less time in the sunlight.

Therefore, it follows that light skinned people must be better educated and better paid than dark skinned people.

This preference for fair skin is reinforced in movies, television programs, and especially advertising, where models and actors always have fair skin.

Global spending on skin lightening products is growing at the rate of 10 per cent every year. It is projected to hit US$31.2 billion by next year, according to a report released by the research firm Global Industry Analysts.

In Nigeria, 77 percent of women use skin-lightening products, compared with 59 per cent in Togo and 27 percent in Senegal. But the largest and fastest-growing markets are in the Asia-Pacific region.

Dr. Sonya Baluyot, a Filipina dermatologist, says around 90 per cent of her patients come to seek out ways to whiten their skin. Yet, she says most of them are already fair-skinned. 

In a 2004 Synovate Asia BUS survey conducted among 2,496 respondents from five Asian countries. Skin whitening was most popular in the Philippines. At least 50 percent of respondents claimed they use whitening products and always opt for the popular brand. Now, more than 18 years later the market has exploded in popularity. So the numbers must be much, much higher.

Overall results of this survey showed that 38 percent of those surveyed in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan admitted to using whitening products. India is also a mass-market for Glutathione skin whitening. In these countries, a typical supermarket will have a wall of personal care products featuring “whitening” or “lightening” toners, soaps, facial wash, sunblock lotions, moisturizers, lotions, and creams. from recognizable brands.

“Although the use of intravenous glutathione injections is popular, there is no evidence to prove its efficacy. In fact, the adverse effects caused by intravenous glutathione have led the Food and Drug Administration of Philippines to issue a public warning condemning its use for off-label indications such as skin lightening,” according to Dr. Sidharth Sonthalia

The Philippines’ Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has warned “It is alarming that they (clinics, spas, and salons) also offer services such as intravenous drip or infusion using skin lightening agents including reduced glutathione, vitamin C, and other injections,” the FDA said in an advisory released today.

They went on to say … “Risks include the possibility of developing skin cancer and contracting HIV, Hepatitis C, and Hepatitis B, especially when the IV is administered by someone not in the medical field or in a non-sterile place.” The side effects of using injectable glutathione for skin lightening include toxic effects on the liver, kidneys, and nervous system. There is also the risk of Stevens-Johnson Syndrome. The FDA warned glutathione can also cause the forming of kidney stones.

Welcome Acceptance of Sexuality for Gay Men.

Adult Content Warning

A man’s sexual preference does not make him more or less a man. Just because heterosexuality is more ‘common’ does not make it ‘right’ while making homosexuality ‘wrong’.  

‘Tall’ is no more ‘right’ than being ‘short’.

Being ‘light skinned’ is no more ‘right’ than being ‘dark skinned’.

Being ‘European’ is no more right than being ‘Asian’.

That type of thinking was discarded a long-time ago because it is both discriminatory and untrue.

People who still think that way are stuck in the first half of the 20th century or even earlier. That type of thinking does not belong here in this day and age.

Almost every homosexual has ‘straight’ parents. They are raised in a ‘straight’ family, religion and culture that teaches them that heterosexual relationships are ‘normal’.

Media is most often biased toward the concept that heterosexuality is ‘normal’. Media portray relationships as male and female. If there is a homosexual relationship depicted it is usually ridiculed.

They may learn that anything outside the ‘norm’ is unacceptable, a sin, unnatural, or even illegal.

No wonder they grow up feeling as if they are the round peg in a square hole.

Too often young gay boys and men feel isolated and alone. They fear being ‘found out’ and tormented, even rejected by family and friends.

Some feel so overwhelmed and trapped they commit suicide before they learn that it is not them that is at fault.

Young gay men may ‘play the straight game’ seeking acceptance. A gay friend told me how as his straight friends and brothers talked about girls; he was feeling same sex attraction instead. So, he ‘played the straight game’ to hide his true feelings and had sex with a few girls.  “Is this what they are talking about?” he thought.  “It does nothing for me. If this is what my brothers and my friends are talking about then I want out. I want cock not pussy”.

There are many factors that influence both sexual and romantic attraction to either gender. These include genetic, cultural, media, religious, experiential and peer pressure. 

He tried to appear straight on the outside, while keeping his real desires inside, but his friends and brothers realised he was gay. By the time he ‘came out’ everyone already knew.

He realised he had been worrying about nothing. They loved him and did not care about who he was attracted to, or not.

Okay, his father tried to straighten him up, but eventually accepted it was not a passing phase. 

Straight? Bisexual? Gay?
Straight? Bisexual? Gay?

Fact: No one knows how many boys and men are homosexual or bisexual. Perhaps the majority feel it is better kept on a ‘needs to know basis‘, so only their close confidants and sexual partners know the real truth.

Then there are the guys who only have same sex on an impulse when the opportunity and desire cross paths.

Surveys generally put the number of exclusively homosexual men somewhere around 10 per cent of the male population. Those are men who self-identify as gay. They only ever have sex with same sex. I have a few friends who you would think are straight8, but they have never and cannot imagine having sex with someone of the opposite sex. It is beyond their comprehension. They say it would never happen.

But what about the other 90 per cent of boys and men? We tend to assume they are exclusively straight and only attracted to girls and women.

The picture becomes more confusing when we add the complexity of bisexuality, the guys who are attracted to both other guys and girls somewhere around the same proportion (50/50). It includes romantic or sexual attraction to people regardless of their gender.

A subset of bisexuality is “hetroflexibility”. People define themselves as “mostly straight” with a little same sex attraction.  Sometimes called “bi-curious”.

“Homoflexible” people primarily identify as homosexual but are sometimes attracted to the opposite gender.

The term “attracted” does not necessarily mean that they physically act on their attraction. They may and yet they may not.

Common-bell-curve

The Common Bell Curve of Male Sexual Desire and Attraction.

Male sexuality and desire apparently follows the pattern of the ‘common bell curve’. We can argue about the proportions or percentages, however the green ‘C’ area represents bisexuality. Boys and men who find themselves sexually attracted to both genders, more or less the same. They could swing either way depending on who, where and when.  ‘B’ blue boys and men are mainly same sex attracted. They usually prefer other males but may swing over to the opposite gender sometimes. ‘A’ purple are exclusively same sex homosexual. They are the 10 per cent the surveys quote. Yellow ‘D’ usually only find themselves attracted to the opposite gender but if the stars align, they will jump the fence, or at least think about it. Those in the red ‘F’ section would never never find other boys and men sexually attractive. They are actually exclusively straight8. My guess is they represent somewhere around 10 to maybe 20 per cent of the male population.

So how many boys and men are attracted to other boys and men at least sometimes? Your guess is as good as mine, but I have seen surveys where as many as 80 per  cent of respondents admitted they have been sexually excited to the point of orgasm by their own gender. Perhaps that includes masturbation fantasy? I really don’t know. But it fits the common bell curve of male sexual desire and attraction.

I knew a guy who had several girlfriends in the time I had known him. Yet, a couple of times I had noticed him looking at guys in a certain way. So, I asked him about it.   “Yeah. He is hot. I would ‘do him’ in a flash if I could.” So, I loaned him a book about bisexuality. He read it and handed it back to me saying “Yup. I am bisexual. I think about it, but I don’t actually do it, yet. It is not a case of ‘if’ but ‘when’.”  He had left the door open to the opportunity.  More recently I heard he is now living with another guy. Perhaps he found his ‘when’ and ‘who’ moment?

Sports and entertainment celebrities, business leaders and politicians, everyone are included together with ‘happily married men’ are members of this diverse group.

We are sexual beings. We do not control who we are attracted to sexually. It is part of who we really are. We can try to tame the beast, yet it is a wild animal.

Fact: Homosexuality is not a mental illness. Psychiatry and religion cannot convert gay men into ‘straight’ men. They tried many times and failed every time. A few men have ‘played the straight game’ but they have tortured themselves and ultimately failed. This has ultimately caused others heartache too. It is always better to accept your own sexuality and accept yourself.

My late wife’s nephew, a young gay slightly effeminate man, met a girl at the theater where he worked. She had two gay brothers. She felt an attraction to him, which may have been based on something familiar that made her feel comfortable. He was very attractive, tall, blonde and blue eyed. A nice friendly personality.

I might add, his mother did not approve of his homosexuality.

Eventually, he gave up his gay lifestyle to marry her. His mother was ecstatic. They had a child, and about two years later he left her and their child to return to his former gay lifestyle. He was obviously conflicted. He had tried to make his mother happy, but he was not. His real self-won, and he stopped playing the straight game. His mother was disappointed in him.

While this scenario is not uncommon, some other gay men find a ‘middle path’ where they can live an outward ‘straight’ life and keep their gay lifestyle in the ‘closet’ (a secret).

I know a man now aged in his 70’s. He told me while he is gay, he married when young because his family did not approve of homosexuality. At the time he was in a very happy closeted homosexual relationship. Then he married because of pressure from his family.  He remained closeted and continues to ‘see’ other men to this day. He said, although he loves his wife, he is disappointment he made the wrong decision to marry all those years ago.

I know another man who is gay. He is slightly effeminate. I have witnessed him trying to seduce other men after a few drinks. He is married to a motor bike riding lesbian. They are romantically attracted but sexual desire is not part of their relationship.  She ‘goes out’ with other lesbians. I know that for a fact. 

Increasingly, in many countries, young men who are same sex attracted feel no need to hide who they really are.

More than 'just friends'.
More than ‘just friends’.

Fact: While there is no single “gay gene,” there is overwhelming evidence of a biological basis for sexual orientation that is programmed into the brain before birth based on a mix of genetics and prenatal conditions, none of which the fetus chooses, according to ‘Stop calling it a choice: Biological factors drive homosexuality’

Two strong indicators exist. Either could apply in your circumstance.

  1. Homosexuality appears to follow down the maternal side of your family. If you are gay, chances are more likely than not your mother has more than average gay brothers and cousins and uncles. Your sisters have gay sons. Or,
  2.  Unrelated to close ‘gay’ relatives on the maternal side, you have a number of ‘straight’ older brothers.

These are genetic and prenatal conditions way beyond your control. 

Fact; While many ‘out-of-touch’ heterosexuals think homosexuality is a choice, they are confused with their own adolescent ‘same-sex attractions’, which are part of every man’s sexual maturity. Heterosexuals are no ‘gayer’ than homosexuals are ‘straight’.

Some men happily ‘swing both ways’. They are happy with a sexual partner of either sex, although they usually have a preference. Although that preference often changes. We call them bisexual. They call themselves lucky.

Accept yourself and find true happiness whatever your sexual attraction. Just remember you cannot make everyone happy all the time – so accept yourself for who you are in the moment and be happy with your choices.

It can all become so much more confusing when we consider that romantic and sexual attraction are two different things. You can be romantically attracted to a man and sexually attracted to a woman. or the other way around. For that matter you can be romantically attracted to one man and sexually attracted to another. I am going to leave you with that conundrum to sort out for yourself.

Fact: Homosexuality is still illegal in some countries. See the map below. Gay men can be sacked by their employers in some countries, for example Singapore. It is punishable by death in a few. For example, Uganda. Where I grew up in Australia homosexuality was still illegal when I was aged in my 20’s. Now we have legal same-sex marriage. The tide is turning around the world.

The map below shows (in brown, orange and yellow) the remaining ‘anti-gay’ countries.

The dark blue colour on the map shows countries where same sex marriage is now legal. Some Asian countries, such as Taiwan and Thailand now have same-sex marriage. Others such as Vietnam, the Philippines and some Pacific nations will follow in time.

New Zealand is a socially progressive country and should be marked dark blue on this map.

I think Central and South America will eventually infill in blue too.

Vietnam is a Catholic/Buddhist country. Following the war many Vietnamese escaped the communists and fled to other parts of the world. They took their language, culture, food and traditions with them, of course.

I learned that in Melbourne Australia, Vietnamese fathers often take their 13-year-old sons to a prostitute to lose their virginity to an ‘older woman’ (she might only be 5 years his senior, but she has experience to share).

I have it on authority from former prisoners that in prison the Vietnamese crime boss (who usually owns the prostitutes on the outside) will select an attractive young Vietnamese man to sleep with every night. It is apparently considered an honor to be chosen by the boss. Next his deputy will select a sleeping partner and so on down the ranks. 

I am told teenage Vietnamese visit the boss in prison and swear their allegiances to him. They do his bidding on the outside, and if they are jailed, they gladly become one of his ‘prison bitches’ on the inside. Everyone is gay for the stay, and that can be for many years.

Fact: Gay men usually make wonderful uncles, and sometimes choose to be parents themselves. While ‘straight’ men may have accidental children, the child of a gay father was no accident. Your happiness inspires unconditional love in them.

“LGBTQ folks served and serve in the military. We are cops, we are firefighters, we are your family members and neighbors,” Democratic Colorado State Representative, David Ortiz wrote on X in response to Valdamar Archuleta, the president of the Colorado Log Cabin Republicans, who called for the burning of the rainbow flag. “We will outlast your bigotry and hate.”

gay-rights-progress-but-same-sex-relations-still-a-crime-in-69-countries

Fact: Some ‘straight men’ want oral and perhaps anal sex with another man, not because they are gay and attracted to another man or men. They just enjoy the sex. For them gay men are better at oral sex than women, and gay men enjoy giving and receiving anal sex more than women. It’s more about the sex, not the individual. These men have a desire for giving and receiving erotic pleasure with another man, often governed by individual boundaries. These boundaries could be “You can suck me, but I won’t suck you’, ‘I don’t kiss other guys, but everything else is fine’, “Mutual masturbation is fine with me, but no more than that’, ‘Yeah, I like to 69 with a guy’, “I am strictly a ‘top'” or “I need to be fucked hard in the ass by a real man sometimes”. Are they ‘gay’ or ‘bisexual’? They may be bisexual or perhaps ‘closet gay’? Does it really matter?

For a while I worked with a guy who said “My thing is oral sex. Thats what I do and that’s what I want. Pussy or cock.”

While there is white, brilliant white, and black, pitch black, there are many shades of grey. Perhaps as many as 50.

Fact; Homophobes make-up excuses to disguise their own prejudices and fears. One unfounded claim is that gay men are more inclined to drug and alcohol problems than straight men. While this may be true for some individuals caused by the bigots and prejudices from homophobes they live with every day, it is not generally true at all. Your unconditional love defeats fear and anxiety.

Gay couple

Fact: Another claim by bigots and chauvinists is that the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) and the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) were sent by God to punish homosexuals. This unfounded claim ignores the science. The retrovirus that causes HIV passes from one person to another through body fluids. It can and does pass between genders (male and female) through any exchange of body fluids from an infected person to an uninfected person.

Yes, HIV/AIDS infection is common among gay men, as it is among intravenous drug users of any gender too. That is because they are inclined to share body fluids through their activities.  However, there are roughly 24 million people of both genders infected by HIV/AIDS in Africa. More than 90 percent of the world’s HIV-positive children live in Africa. Gender and sexuality have nothing to do with it.

People have been infecting each other with sexually transmitted infections for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Sexual preference never came into it, and nor did God’s will.

So why drag homosexuals into the fray now? It is thinly disguised homophobia and anti-gay bias, that’s all.

Doctors at the Sexual Infections Clinic have told me that Local infections of HIV have virtually disappeared because of the widespread use of PREP medications by sexually active homosexual and bisexual men. The majority of infections are a result of unprotected sex while travelling overseas, particularly in Southeast Asia. They advise the use of PREP plus condoms for protection.

‘They doth protest too much, methinks”

Fact or Fiction? Gay bashing and gay bullying is an attackabuse, or assault committed against a person who is perceived by the aggressor to be LBGTIQ. The aggressor is more often than not a homophobic closet gay themselves? Are they are trying to deflect attention away from themselves and their secret?  Are they suffering inner conflict and incongruence? We ask the question: Why are they out after dark looking for gay men when they could be looking for straight women? Perhaps they need counselling themselves?

Do you want some research to help you decide? Science magazine reported there is a “scattering of research” that suggests “some conflicted gay men might indeed be homophobic,” like a small 1996 study in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology that measured penile arousal and found a link between “homophobia” and “homosexual arousal.”

I remember meeting two house mates of a friend of mine many years ago. They proudly boasted about their ‘gay bashing’ exploits as if it somehow made them more ‘macho’. In the next breath, they talked about their intention to share a prostitute and how they wanted to experience double penetration together. They seemed conflicted to me. As they were talking, I felt as if they were boyfriends.

Rather than being heard to “protest too much” and drawing attention to contradictions about their own sexuality, perhaps these people should be listening to their ‘Welcome Acceptance of Sexuality for Gay Men’ MP3?

Fact: Then there is the religious argument. Some people claim their interpretation of Leviticus 18:22 in the Old Testament of the Bible states that homosexuality is wrong. (this passage encompasses Muslim, Christian and Jewish religions) Others point out it is a reference to prostitution, specifically male prostitution. This is supported by 1 Kings 15:12. “He expelled the male shrine prostitutes from the land and got rid of all the idols his ancestors had made.”

Leviticus was recorded at the time of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt. The instructions of Leviticus emphasize ritual, legal and moral practices including animal scarifies to God. I question people who like to quote this passage suggesting homosexuality is wrong – ‘do you also do animal scarifies to God?’ If they do, then they can claim the ‘high ground’. If they do not, they are hypocrites.

Fact: Temple prostitutes, both male and female were a part of Egyptian religion. Moses was trying to divorce his people from those practices.

There will always be bigots who will mis interpret the Bible to support their own prejudices. But that is no excuse for them trying to enforce their position on other people in the privacy of their own bedrooms. Jesus taught ‘love’. He had nothing to say about homosexuals anywhere in the New Testament of the Bible. In my view Christians should be led by the teachings of Jesus Christ (who said ‘I am the way’ while the instructions of Leviticus were now irrelevant. Mathew 12:1 to 12:8).

The teachings of ancient religious practices (such as animal sacrifices) have been dumped by Christians. So why hang on to references to Egyptian temple prostitutes?  They are irrelevant to Christians today. In my view some Christians focus too much on the Old Testament and the books written by Paul, while they seem to ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ. who taught unconditional love Are they really Christians at all?

Bible bigots like to quote Paul. But the truth is Paul was not one of Jesus 12 disciples. He never knew Jesus in his lifetime. He was in fact a Roman citizen, a tax collector. Paul has a lot to say in the New Testament of the Bible. He wrote 13 of the books, a significant proportion. But one thing is certain for theologians who have studied Paul. He was disliked by many. He was apparently a small, ugly man who had a ‘chip on his shoulder‘. He seems to have hated women, and gays, and others. He was not speaking for Jesus. He was speaking for himself. People who quote Paul in their anti-gay rants are really scraping the bottom of the barrel. Christians should be following the teachings of Jesus Christ, rather some bigoted interloper who had never met the living Jesus.

Fact: The Bible outlaws many different things we do today. Here are just a few,

  1. According to Leviticus 19:19, people were forbidden to wear clothing made of two or more different materials. Wool and cotton are not permitted together.
  2. Eating pork, rabbit, or fish without fins and scales (e.g., clams, oysters, shrimp, crabs etc). Leviticus 11:7-12.
  3. Eating any creatures that creep or have been strangled cannot be eaten. “You shall not eat any detestable thing”. Deuteronomy 14:3  
  4. No honey, with certain exceptions. Leviticus 2:11.
  5. Rare steak is banned. Leviticus 17:10-14.
  6. Drinking wine is fine, but only in moderation. Jesus first recorded miracle was turning water into wine. He apparently liked a glass of Chardonay. Proverbs 23:20-21.
  7. Shaving the face. (but the head must be shaven under certain circumstances) Leviticus 19:27.
  8. Tattoos or body piercings.  Leviticus 19:28.
  9. Women must cover their heads. 1 Corinthians 11;6.
  10. No jewelry. No hairstyling. Men must not cut or shave the hair on the sides of their head. Timothy 2:9.
  11. Women speaking in the church, but ‘speaking in tongues’ is fine. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.
  12. Banning mothers from the church. Leviticus 12:2, 
  13. Women cannot wear men’s clothing and men cannot wear women’s clothing. Jeans and pants suits are out for women, and Scottish Kilts are not on for men. Deuteronomy 22:5.
  14. Divorce. Mark 10:9-12.
  15. No Tarot readings. No fortune tellers. But ‘religious prophets’ are fine. Leviticus 19:31.
  16. A priest cannot have a ‘blemish in the eye’ or ‘be lame’ or have a flat nose. So those with authority in the church cannot wear glasses or have difficulty walking, according to Leviticus 21.

and the list goes on and on. If some people want to use the Bible verses to attack gays, perhaps they should look at their own practices first. Jesus warned against hypocritical, self-righteous people in Matthew 7:1-5.

A quick look into Islamic male practices around same sex is very confusing for someone looking in from the outside.

Muslim men, and for that matter Hindu men grow facial hair as soon as they are able. They say, “its purpose is to differentiate between the male and the female”. Exactly how they become confused between men and women I don’t know.

At the same time unwed men have no opportunity to have sex with a woman because for religious reasons premarital sex, or even the suggestion of it is banned. So, they seek out other opportunities. Rape of women is an all-too-common problem by some Hindu men in India.

In some Muslim countries Arab men sometimes rape Asian men who live and work in their country and have no facial hair. If the Asian man were to report the attack he would be deported, so it usually goes unreported to police.

In East Malaysia several young Muslim men told me that in their culture and religion young men have sex with each other until they marry. Then, of course they have sex with their wife. They told me, ‘We all do it, so did our fathers and uncles before they married’

The contradiction is that The Koran states men who have sex with other men should be punished, although no punishment is specified. The exact passage in the Qu’ran states “men who are guilty of lewdness …. if they repent then let them be. Lo! Allah is Merciful.”

From that I interpret Allah is not too bothered about same sex between Muslim men. However, unwed hetrosex is not on, no way. In some Muslim countries at least, culture and tradition outweigh religion.

Fact: Humans share homosexuality and bisexuality with animals. 

“No animal species has been found in which homosexual behavior has not been shown to exist, with the exception of species that never have sex at all, such as sea urchins and aphids”  –Petter Bøckman

Homosexual behavior has been observed by researchers in more than 1,500 animal species.

Fact: Since prehistory, gay men have proven themselves as talented creators and innovators in almost every human endeavor. You are in good company and can be proud as a gay man.

How you choose to live your life as a gay man is your choice. Some choose to be ‘out’ and perhaps flamboyant, while at the other end of the spectrum some choose to be ‘closeted’ and keep their bed-room preferences on a ‘need to know’ basis. Your choice should always be based on what makes you most comfortable and happy.

I have conducted an informal ‘straw ballot’ of gay men online and asked them all the same simple question. “If you could take a pill that would make you straight, would you take it?” I think I have had only one who said ‘yes’, and since then he has changed his mind and said ‘no‘.

I then asked them ‘Why?” and the typical answer was “I feel happy in myself.” and a few added. “Plus, I love cock.”

Homophobes want homosexuality to be invisible. That way they somehow feel ‘safer’. They feel that way because of their own upbringing and culture.

Change is constant, and our cultures adapt to those changes. To quote the Borg ‘Resistance is futile.’ Change is constantly happening, and if that change is in the face, it cannot be ignored.

Many people who come out as gay and lesbian are accepted by their loved ones, but not all are. So be prepared. Talk to other gays about their experiences.

Prepare your responses to the most likely questions and comments from your family and friends. Perhaps contact organisations such as PFLAG for support. PFLAG are the parents, guardians, family and friends of LGBTIQ+.

If you are unsure how someone who is important in your life will react to you telling them you are gay, try ‘testing the waters’ by asking them what they think about other gay men.

You can:

  • Ask them if they personally know any gay men?
  • Ask their opinions about famous and celebrity gay men?
  • Ask them what they think about same-sex marriage and gay couples who have children.

Through these discussions you will be able to determine if they are generally positive or negative about gay men. Do not expect them to be gushing with positivity about everything and everyone. Ultimately you want to determine how they might react and if they will support you.

It is true that some people have difficulty accepting other people who are different from them in some way. That is their prejudice. That is their problem to deal with and perhaps overcome.

Their prejudice is not the responsibility or problem of the person, persons or community they feel prejudiced against – it is their problem. Being faced, close up, with their prejudice is also an opportunity for them to learn and grow.

I had a young gay man come to me to quit tobacco smoking. He was somewhat masculine, a truck driver who appeared ‘straight’. He told me that he was very happy in his sexuality and added that his single ‘straight’ co-workers and friends were lucky if they could ‘score’ sex more than twice a year, unless they paid for it, while he had sex with a new partner every weekend, and more often anytime he wanted – for free. “I can go online and ‘hook up’ with another hot guy within minutes,” he told me. “My mates have to pay for it,” he laughed.

“For me being gay is the best. I would never want to be straight.”

I originally tried to learn the Morse Codes series of “dits” and “dahs” as they correspond to the many letters of the alphabet in 1975. I struggled, while some of my friends excelled.

More recently I discovered a whole new Morse code learning experience.

Fact: Learning Morse code by traditional methods is slow and difficult. Studies by Alden B. Sears (University of Denver) using both hypnotized subjects and a control group using traditional methods to learn Morse code found the hypnotized group scored better, more accurate results when tested. 

History; Welcome Learning Morse Code

Welcome Learning Morse Code, Samuel Morse,
Samuel Morse co-developed the  American Morse code.

Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791 to 1872) contributed to the invention of the single-wire telegraph system. Then in 1837 he co-developed the  American Morse code, and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy. It was complicated and included a Code Book.

Morse’s telegraph receiver used a mechanical clockwork to move a paper tape. Indentations on a paper tape corresponded to numerals. Each number had to be decoded using a book. The process was slow and tedious. Alfred Vail included letters and special characters. He estimated the frequency of letters that were used in a printer’s shop. The letters most commonly used were assigned the shortest sequences of dots and dashes.

In 1848 Friedrich Clemens Gerke (1801  to 1888) simplified the original Morse code into the “dits” and “dahs” we know today. Samuel Morse’s overly complicated code was superseded by the International Morse code in 1865. The International Morse code we use today was an improvement over the American Morse code. Perhaps the thing we need to acknowledge is that Gerke was a musician (his primary communication modality was auditory). He understood something that Samuel Morse, as an artist (his primary communication modality was visual) did not. More on that later.

Morse code can be transmitted using sound or light pulses by people skilled in sending and receiving through radio and other methods. Morse code can be transmitted as a visual signal using flashing lights or reflections such as between ships during radio silence. In the past, it has famously been used by prisoners in jails tapping on walls and water pipes.

It can also be used as a subtle form of communication using the tapping of fingers or even blinking of eyes.

Welcome Learning Morse Code. Telegraphic Key.

International Morse code encodes the 26 basic Latin letters a through z, one accented Latin letter (é), the Arabic numerals, and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters.

In the late 1800’s before the invention of voice radio, Morse code was used through telegraph lines, undersea cables, and radiotelegraphy to link ships and countries. A series of abbreviations called the ‘Q codes’ were developed to speed accurate communication.  By 1930 aircraft pilots were required to be able to use Morse code because navigation beacons used it to identify themselves.

Through the final years of the 20th century the commercial and military use of Morse code was replaced by new technologies.

In July 2003 the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) removed the requirement for Morse code proficiency as part of world-wide amateur radio licensing for HF bands and other bands below 30 Mhz.

However, Morse code is as popular as ever in the world of amateur radio. Morse code ‘cuts through’ most natural (QRN) and made (QRM) noise and interference by using a mode called Continuous Wave (CW). CW (or continuous wave) is a form of ‘digital transmission’ in that it is either ‘on’ or ‘off’. It is interrupted continuous wave (ICW). Using Morse Code or CW one can work hundreds of countries with only a few watts and a basic antenna.

Operators are also known as ‘hams’. The term “ham” (like “ham actor”) is a nickname for amateur radio operators. It originated with commercial and professional radio operators to differentiate themselves from amateurs, although many are themselves professionals who choose a hobby related to their skills and interests.

Amateur radio operators around the globe use lingo or jargon to speed and simplify communication. These have generally been inherited from the military and other professional communications users. (Many licensed ham radio operators are former military or professional electronics technicians) Much of this jargon has been included in the downloads here.

I guess when it all boils down to it,  Morse is an international language that only we know. We can communicate using it worldwide even when all other forms of communications have failed.  It is a widely understood international language.

Morse and CW works when radio voice (SSB and AM) fails due to interference. Radio works when mobile cell phones, Internet, and landlines are down due to someone digging up cables by mistake, or perhaps hackers and disasters such as earthquakes, storms and floods, and even war. Morse and CW are incredible fun. But only if you know how to send and receive.

In addition, ham radio repeaters and beacons usually identify themselves with their call signs in morse code, just as aircraft navigation beacons used to do in the past.

I am one of almost three million licensed amateur radio operators world-wide. My official call sign is VK6 PBS. To other ham operators around the world the VK prefix represents Australia. The number 6 represents my home state of Western Australia (WA). I was able to choose and register the PBS suffix myself (for an extra fee) with the Australian governments relevant regulatory authorities – the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).

Special Event/Day & Competitions in Australia may use these prefixes. AX, VJ, VL

AX prefix. A special event prefix of ‘AX’ can be substituted for ‘VK’ on occasions of national significance (e.g. each year on Australia DayAnzac day and World Information Society Day).

VI prefix. A special event prefix of ‘VI’ can be substituted for ‘VK’ on occasions of state/territory significance.

In Australia the Advanced level only (vanity callsigns) are AA to ZZ

In Australia the usual Advanced, Standard and Foundation callsigns are AAA to ZZZ

(This means as an Australian operator increases their level of class through examinations, they can retain their original callsign, unless they want to change to a vanity 2 letter callsign)

Former Foundation 4 letter callsigns FAAA to FZZZ

(A few early Foundation licensees still use their ‘F ‘callsigns, although they can update to a 3 letter callsign at any time)

In most countries the callsign suffix may indicate the licensee’s level or class. That was the same in Australia until July 29, 2020, however that now only applies to vanity 2 letter callsigns and some older Foundation callsigns.

Generally, the higher the level of license the more likely the requirement for more advanced skills, which may include Morse code in some countries. The higher the level of license the higher transmit power levels permitted, and the more radio spectrum frequencies permitted to be used. These radio bands have portions set aside only for Morse Code CW.

In the USA the amateur radio operator callsign denotes their license after having passed examinations in applicable regulations, electronics, radio theory, and radio operation type/level of competency and therefore the frequency bands they can access. In the USA the 3 levels of ham radio license are Technician, General, and Extra.

In some countries there is still a specific examination to prove the skill of amateur radio operators in the receiving and sending of Morse code.

In the Philippines for example, Class A (Extra Class) ham radio operators must still pass a Morse Code send and receive test at the rate of 5 words per minute plus a written theory exam. As a result, they have greater privileges than Class B (General Class), Class C (Technician Class) and Class D (Foundation Class) licensees. In addition, all radio transceivers must be registered by the government. The Radio Amateur Operator Certificate (RAOC) is available to those who have qualified for a callsign, but do not own registered radio equipment.

It should be noted that in July 2003 the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) removed its requirement for proficiency in Morse code to be part of global amateur radio licensing for bands below Very High Frequency (VHF) bands (30 MHz). Therefore, the requirement by some countries for ham radio operators to qualify at a certain Morse Code send and receive speed is their own prerogative, perhaps for historical reasons?  There may be some consideration given to having a grouping of certified operators in case of disasters or war? This security measure may also be a consideration for registering radio equipment. 

Yet ham radio operators around the world still want to learn the skill because it opens up a whole realm of enjoyment of the hobby. It ‘cuts through’ adverse propagation conditions when other modes fail. It is truly international, allowing ham radio operators from different countries and languages to communicate. (Often using ham radio jargon).

modern morse code key,
Modern Morse code key used by amateur radio operators. Learning Morse Code.

Amateur radio operators continue to use the ‘Q codes’ and the Phonetic Alphabet, which were originally developed for the original telegraph networks and the military.

Back in 1974 I learnt the phonetic alphabet, then the Q codes, and other amateur radio jargon. I originally tried to learn the Morse Codes series of “dots” and “dashes” using a wall chart and listening to cassette tapes, as they correspond to the many letters of the alphabet. I focused on wall charts and struggled, while some of my friends excelled. At that time, I worked in the field of emergency communications using modern HF/SSB, VHF/FM and UHF/FM radios and repeaters – not CW/morse code.

As I said earlier Samuel Morse was an artist. His primary communication modality was visual. Not surprisingly he developed a complex communications system called the American Morse Code that needed a Code Book. It did not translate well into sound for many people and was eventually replaced in 1865 by the more practical International Morse Code.

Friedrich Clemens Gerke, Wellcome Learning Morse Code, subliminal, hypmosis,
Friedrich Clemens Gerke

More recently I discovered that Friedrich Clemens Gerke was a musician. Obviously, his primary communication modality was auditory. So, if we approach Morse code as musical rhythm, rather than a visual “dots” and “dashes”, it is whole different learning experience.

You no doubt know it is easier to remember the words of a song when it is connected to a melody rather than learning the written words on a page. Once you have learnt the song through the melody it is easier to recall the words of the song without the melody. That is a secret to learning Morse code! Another is practice and more practice. (More details follow)

The Future: Welcome Learning Morse Code

Fact: Learning Morse code by traditional methods is slow and difficult. Studies by Alden Sears from the University of Denver, using both hypnotized subjects and a control group using traditional methods to learn Morse code found the hypnotized group scored better, more accurate results when tested. Source: A comparison of hypnotic and waking learning of the International Morse Code. Sears, Alden B. International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis. 1955/10/01

Dr. Ainslie Meares M.B., B.S., BAgr., Sc.D.P.M. Melbourne, Australia reported his research proved that hypnosis could improve motivation to learn.

The two Welcome Learning Morse Code subliminal MP3s (#1 covers A to M and #2 N to Z AND numbers. Code tones AND words) are coupled together. BONUS: You also receive a wall chart showing the Morse code “dits” and “dahs” AND the corresponding melody or poetry method used in the MP3s, so you can both see and hear as you learn. Welcome Learning Morse Code subliminal MP3 covers numbers 0 to 9. You also receive the Q Code Chart and the (ICAO, ITU or NATO) Phonetic Alphabet Chart used by Amateur radio operators world-wide.

You will receive an HF Logbook page. It is important to keep a log record of all of your HF contacts be they Morse Code/CW or SSB or AM or other modes. One good reason is, your log is a legal document and can be used to analyze possible causes if you are accused of causing TVI/RF interference. In addition, Radio Inspectors may want to examine it. Another good reason for a logbook is to confirm QSO’s with other ham radio operators. The third is for your own information. You can see what time of day or night, what antenna, what bands and frequencies achieve best results for you.

Once you have learnt to recognize the Morse code alphabet you can practice listening (RX) to ‘slow Morse’ sessions broadcast by various Amateur Radio clubs, groups and organizations around the world to develop your speed. Then you can practice sending (TX) by using your own key.

  • Morse code wall charts might help in the early stages to consciously clarify a few things about the series of “dots‘ and “dashes”. Morse code is really a rhythmic language using “dits” and “dahs”. You can take my word for it, you cannot learn morse code by looking at a wall chart or poster alone.
  • Morse through radio is a sound. While it can be visual using other methods, the easiest way to learn it is through the melody or rhythm. 
  • Become familiar with the sound of every letter and number (and punctuation).
  • Practice sending (TX) every day for 20 to 30 minutes. Start with your full name. Then whole sentences.
  • While a pencil is handy while learning at low speeds, they are really used for logbook entries, not for writing received (RX). Morse code faster than about 15 words-per-minute is too fast to write down. At higher speeds you need to be able to hear whole words – not individual letters. That’s how we speak! Can you imagine if we all had to communicate by spelling out every word we say?
  • Once you have a handle of the individual letters and numbers start learning whole words to increase your receive (RX) speed.
  • The Koch-Farnsworth method is one way to increase speed and learn words.
  • The CW Academy claim if you do their online Zoom course, plus 30 minutes home study every day, within 8 weeks you will be able to send and receive at the rate of 15 to 25 words.
  • The Morse Mail Phone App is another way to practice.

If you are not already a licensed Amateur Radio operator you can join a local club, group or association where they usually run trainings in preparation for license exams, on a regular basis. Courses are also available online. Some have a small fee and some are free.

For many years I put off siting for my Amateur Radio License until a licensed ‘ham’ friend (Ken VK2MKK) encouraged me to ‘have a go’. I sat the exam and attained a 100 per cent pass rate. If you have the passion, you can do it too. Information about Welcome Learning Ham Radio Theory MP3s is listed below.

For many people Covid-19 has emphasized the potentials for unanticipated natural disasters, calamities and even war (think Ukraine), Cell mobile phones, Internet and landline communications are vulnerable and unreliable. Amateur radio has a wide range of modes (including morse code/CW) and frequency bands available. They can quickly establish reliable local. national and international communications. Ham radio enthusiasts are experienced in portable operation, including handheld and backpack communications. People who choose to plan for the worst possible scenario (including preppers) would do well to attain their amateur radio license and learn Morse Code.

Nicotine CONspiracy

 

‘Nicotine addicts’ have been scammed by unscrupulous multi-national companies, including drug companies, and giant retail groups, who want to make money from the so called ‘nicotine addiction’.

Click Here to Listen to MP3, button, www.InternetHypnosis.Shop
Click Here to Listen to Podcast

Those ‘addicts’ have been tricked by years of false advertising based not on science but marketing. “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to believe it, and they will be prepared to die for it,” said Nazi Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.

If nicotine did only half the things attributed to it (such as increasing concentration, relaxation, overcoming anxiety, boredom, stress, and negative emotions) drug companies would have synthesized the active ingredients, and mass-produced a range of new wonder drugs. but they haven’t … because none of it is actually true. Many people say they smoke ‘to relax’. How is that possible when nicotine is a stimulant? It makes the heartbeat faster. In fact, in a large dose, it can cause a heart attack. (The gas in tobacco smoke is carbon monoxide which starves the brain of oxygen and kills brain cells. Chemically the so called ‘relaxation’ is the brain starving of oxygen).

Welcome Life Beyond Nicotine
Welcome Life Free From Nicotine

From the US Surgeon General to the local doctor it has been ‘enshrined’ that nicotine is ‘physically addictive’. They say so. You have heard it said, over and over again for as long as you can remember. “It must be true. My doctor would never lie to me” I hear you say.

WELCOME LIFE FREE FROM NICOTINE CLASSIC

‘Click Here’ to go to ‘Life Free From Nicotine Addiction.’

Could we (your doctor included) possibly be victims of a massive scam?  In the University published text book “A Critique of Nicotine Addiction” by doctors Hana Frenk Ph.D and Reuven Dar Ph.D of the Department of Psychology. Tel Aviv University, they explain ….

“Nicotine is almost universally believed to be the major factor that motivates smoking and impedes cessation (quitting). Authorities such as the Surgeon General of the USA and the Royal College of Physicians in the UK have declared that nicotine is as addictive as heroin and cocaine. (Well, that’s good enough for your doctor. He will not read anymore after that) This book is a critique of the nicotine addiction hypothesis (or theory), based on a critical review of the research literature that ‘purports to prove’ that nicotine is an addictive drug. The review is based on a re-examination of more than 700 (scientific) articles, and books on this subject, including animal and human experimental studies, effects of ‘nicotine replacement therapies’, and many other relevant sources. This review concludes that on the evidence, there is EVERY REASON TO REJECT THE GENERALLY ACCEPTED THEORY (Note: it was only ever a theory) THAT NICOTINE HAS A MAJOR ROLE IN CIGARETTE SMOKING. (those are my capitals – not theirs). A critical examination of the criteria for drug addiction demonstrates that NONE OF THESE CRITERIA (again those are my capitals) is met by nicotine and that it is much more likely that nicotine in fact limits rather than facilitates smoking.”

A study by the Queen Mary University of London and published in the New England Journal of Medicine into the effectiveness of Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) such as patches, gum, lozenges and sprays, and nicotine E-Cigarettes has found;

  • The trial recruited people who were committed to quit tobacco smoking.
  • Participants in the trial also received free weekly one-on-one behavioral support for the first month of the study.
  • The study participants received free Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) such as patches, gum, lozenges, and sprays.
  • Around 90 percent of NRT users had relapsed back into smoking, within a year.
  • More than 80 percent of E-Cigarette users had relapsed back into smoking tobacco again, within a year.
  • 8 out of 10 e-cigarette users who quit tobacco smoking successfully, and did not relapse, were still vaping at the end of the 12 months trial. They had simply transferred their bad habit from one to the other. They did not overcome it.
  • So fewer than 2 in every one hundred people in the study quit tobacco smoking AND vaping. I think that is a very poor outcome, when ‘cold turkey’ can get a 5 percent success rate.
  • TV ads falsely claim that NRT is ‘two and a half times better’. Better than what? The small print says … better than nothing at all. (Two and a half times nothing is still nothing.)
  • These results reflect similar results in other trials.

Studies have shown that fresh and processed ripe potatoes and tomatoes contain nicotine, while eggplant (aubergines) has the highest level by far. More than 60 different plants, including many vegetables, contain nicotine. 

  • Aubergine. For every gram of aubergine, there is 100 µg of nicotine.

  • Potatoes. Ripening and green potatoes contain about 42 µg/gram of nicotine. If you decide to mash your potatoes or puree them, it can also increase the nicotine concentration to around 52 µg/gram!

  • Tea. Some brewed and instant teas (both black and green) contain nicotine, with concentrations as high as 285 µg/gram.

  • Tomatoes contain around 7.1 µg/gram of nicotine. Green tomatoes have a higher concentration of nicotine.

  • Cauliflowers are not in the nightshade plant family, never-the-less they contain nicotine – around 16.8 µg/gram.

  • Green Peppers contain upwards of 9.2 µg/gram of nicotine.

“How many people do you know who are addicted to vegetables? If we consume nicotine in various vegetables, then why are not some people at least addicted to the nicotine in their vegetables? 

Some Australian Aboriginal ‘bush tucker’ (Solanaceae: Nicotiana) contains nicotine, with up to twice the concentration of tobacco. 

eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes contain nicotine.
eggplant, tomatoes, potatoes contain nicotine.

I think, most people would be shocked to learn that nicotine is not restricted to tobacco when in fact it is found in many plants in various concentrations. You have been eating nicotine most of your life. Do you think you are addicted to vegetables that contain nicotine, and not those that do not?

An analysis in the UK medical journal Lancet found of 42 university-based studies from around the world into 42 NRT gum (30 followed up at 12 months, 12 at 6 months) and 9 patch (NRT) studies (followed up at 12 months) reported that the mean gain (average) in quitting attributed to ‘nicotine replacement‘ was only  8 percent. that is even less than the placebo study results. “… the long‐term benefit of NRT is modest.”

In 2003, Dr. John R. Hughes and Dr. Saul Shiffman as paid consultants to GlaxoSmithKline, the maker of Nicorette, Nicoderm CQ, and NiQuitin CQ, published a report entitled “A meta-analysis of the efficacy of over-the-counter nicotine replacement.” In that publication, they reported only 1 out of 149 nicotine transdermal patch users were still not smoking six months after using the patch.

Remember inhaling tobacco smoke causes cancer in the majority of long-term smokers. Is chewing nicotine any safer? New genetic research from the U.K.’s Medical Research Council suggests that nicotine-replacement drugs like nicotine gum and lozenges could raise the risk of mouth cancer, Medical News Today

On this, and other evidence in the premier medical journal in the world, how can doctors honestly recommend NRT? The real reason is … family doctors recommend to their patients what the drug companies tell them to sell. Drug companies give the local doctor false and misleading information which has been labeled ‘junk science’ by independent researchers.

NRT products such as patches and gum also have unpleasant side effects for many people, such as skin rash, headaches, and vomiting. The cost, inconvenience, and very high failure rate make NRT a waste of time and effort because nicotine is NOT addictive.

There is far more scientific evidence to prove nicotine is not physically addictive including, for example …

“No studies involving animals, such as rats and mice, have been able yo capture the experience of human smoking and nicotine addiction. Animals DO NOT (those are my capitals – not theirs) get addicted to nicotine in laboratory experiments.” The laboratory on the Biology of Addictive Diseases (Ref; Mathiew-Kia A., Kellogg G.H, Buyelman E.R, Kreel M.J Psychopharacoloy )Berl) 2002; 162(2). 102-18. Rockefeller University. New York. USA)

” … the nicotine addiction thesis is only defensible on political, not scientific grounds…” Ref: Journal of Drug Issues 31 (2), 325-394.200) Dale Atrens Ph.D 

” … data do not support the assertion that nicotine is addictive” Ref ‘Is Nicotine Addictive?’ Ref; Michael. A. Bozarth Ph.D. Department of Psychology State University of New York.. Buffalo. New York. USA.

“Studies DO NOT (those are my capitals – not theirs) provide unequivocal evidence for nicotine producing reward either via euphoric actions or through reduction of pain, anxiety, or negative affect” Ref. page 20. Journal of Drug Issues. publication  (200}-04-01.

As part of my research, I visited a pharmacy and while reading the small print on packets of NRT (nicotine transdermal patches, gum, lozenges, and sprays) a young pharmacy assistant approached me offering to help. “This one is the most popular,” she said.

“I am confused,’ I lied. “I smoke a 4 mg cigarette. The label says I must start with a 21 mg patch for 4 weeks, then cut down to 16 mg for another 4 weeks, then cut down to 12 mg for another 4 weeks. Then I am weaned off. But I am already on 4 mg. I just want to go 4, 3, 2, 1 and none. How can I be weaned off at 12 mg when I am already at 4mg?” 

“I don’t know,” she said, adding. “Let me get the pharmacist.”

“I don’t know how they work,” he angrily replied to my question. “Just buy the 21 mg patches. I don’t have time for these stupid questions.” 

Talking of pharmacists who have no idea, and just want to make a quick $ale. I had a client come to me to quit smoking. She told me she went to a pharmacist and followed his advice. She purchased the 21 mg patches and the 16 mg patches and used them according to the instructions.

She told me that for 8 weeks she was ‘climbing the walls’ with withdrawals. Her husband (a non smoker) almost divorced her because she had become ‘the bitch from hell’.

After struggling through she went back to buy the final pack of patches from the pharmacist. “Oh. We don’t sell those,” he said. “There is no demand. You are the only person to have got as far as you have. everyone else gives up and starts smoking again.” She told me she could hardly stop herself from grabbing him by the neck and squeezing the life out of him. She quit smoking the day she saw me without any withdrawals.

Local general practitioner doctors and pharmacists, as salespeople for the drug companies are spoon fed lies and deceit interspersed with real amazing medications that actually work for many people.  Their training is chemistry. They are not interested in researching the facts about the products they peddle. They trust the drug companies. 

As consumers you should not. It is your physical body and mind they are playing with. Do you own research and get the facts. I expect you to question everything I have said here.

If you have found something I should be made aware tell me.

Before you say, “But I saw Amy’s tobacco smoking addict monkey on ‘Big Bang Theory’. Yes. You did. But the producers added this message at the end of the episode. Thanks to the magic of computer graphics (CGI), the monkey in tonight’s episode was not actually smoking a cigarette, nor was he ever exposed to secondhand smoke. At all times, every effort was made to make the monkey feel happy and safe. Nevertheless, he proved impossible to work with. During the week of production his behavior became increasingly erratic, to the point of refusing to come out of his trailer to rehearse.”

“In marked contrast to humans, smoking in infrahuman primates can only be established by coercive procedures” Ref Ando, Hironaka, and Yanagita 1986.

‘”Animals will quickly learn to press a lever thousands of times per hour to get cocaine” Ref; Iwamoto and Martin. 1988 Ward et al 1996. “With nicotine, the highest self-administration rates ever reported in rats are around 25 per hour.”

The nicotine addiction was only psychological. It was a trick designed to make money by the drug companies who make NRT from unsuspecting smokers. It also kept many smokers psychologically trapped (and still does) within an illusion. “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to believe it, and they will be prepared to die for it,” said Nazi Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels.

As a result of inhouse research done by Philip Morris they began using ammonia to reduce the concentration of nicotine by weight in Marlboro in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. Because nicotine is acrid to taste this made Marlboro a better smoking taste than its opposition. Hense, they used the advertsing slogan “Come to where the flavor is – Marlboro Country”.

Tobacco advertising which is actually saying ... we have have improved the flavour by reducing the concentration of acrid nicotine.

Philip Morris went from a tobacco company with no leading brands (the top sellers at that time were ‘Lucky Strike’, ‘Camel’, ‘Pall Mall’ and ‘Chesterfield’. None had filters because market segmentation meant that men did not need filters). Suddenly Marlboro appeared as a man cigarette with a filter, and it shot to number one worldwide.  The former market leaders were stunned senseless. Philip Morros adopted the technology to all their brands and became the biggest tobacco company across the world.  Then they started buying other food and beverage companies including Kraft. Nabisco and Cadbury. They brew beer, make wine and vapes (E-cigarettes). I think they owned Coke at one time?

The other tobacco companies scrabbled to find the secret to the Marlboro man’s success. In part it was the first man’s cigarette to have a filter. But the real secret was freebasing nicotine with ammonia during manufacture. By the 1970’s they were all doing the same. Have you noticed that in those days’ smokers had orange/brown nicotine stains on their fingers and moustaches? Now they don’t. The reason is simple.

They took out much of the nicotine while no one was watching, yet people still think they are addicted to the nicotine in tobacco.

Now the US government wants the tobacco companies to reduce the amount of nicotine in their products. Why? To be seen to be doing something without really doing anything. Political smoke and mirrors.

Fact: Nicotine is a poison.

Solution: Require a doctor’s prescription for ‘addicts’ and make it only available from a pharmacy.

Problem: Political influence by multi-national companies who are making ma$$ive profits.

“When I was growing and picking ripe tobacco leaves in the King Valley, Victoria I ended every day with my skin on my hands and arms coloured orange with nicotine stain. At the end of the season, I suffered zero nicotine withdrawals. “

I asked Government ‘advertising watch dogs’ (by law I cannot identify them beyond that vague reference) why they allow multinational drug companies to run false claims about nicotine replacement therapy and so called quit smoking drugs? They said they allow these companies, and I quote word-for-word their response …. ‘a certain amount of fluff’.  We are being ‘had’ by these companies with the full approval of government bureaucrat$. Why?”

Next time you see or hear ‘an authority’ tell you that ‘nicotine is physically addictive’ you know they are part of the ‘nicotine CONspiracy’ whether they know it or not. 

Meanwhile, scientists have proven beyond reasonable doubt that nicotine is not at all physically addictive.
