Daoud Kuttab: US Court rejects to connect Jerusalem with Israel

The city of Jerusalem has many diplomatic missions that have the official title of consulate general. These include the US, most Western European and Scandinavian countries, as well as Turkey.

These diplomatic missions report directly to their capitals and they are not accountable officially to their counterparts from their country's diplomatic missions in Israel and, more recently, in Ramallah.

This practice has been going on since the Ottoman/Turkish rule in Palestine and the region in the 19th century.

After the creation of Israel in 1948 these missions continued to operate mostly in East Jerusalem (some, like the Americans, owned property in West Jerusalem) and they have continued to work after the June 1967 occupation.

While these missions mostly served the Palestinian community politically, culturally and consular wise, the only difference after 1967 was that these missions widened their (mostly consular) services to all the population of Jerusalem. The US consulate in East Jerusalem continued to provide consular and cultural services while the building owned by the Americans in West Jerusalem's Agron Street became the residence of the US consul-general and later housed caravans that provided space for USAID officials working in the Palestinian areas.

American citizens who lived in the Greater Jerusalem area as well as the rest of the West Bank (both Israelis and Palestinians) were restricted to the Nablus Road consulate in East Jerusalem for their consular affairs.

Despite numerous calls by congress to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the executive branch in Washington was able to apply the waiver provided in the congressional law to insist on maintaining the status quo.

As long as the status of Jerusalem was among the final status agenda items, the US refused to determine who the holy city belongs to.

US diplomatic officials, therefore, refrained to specify a country of birth when it came to anyone who was born in Jerusalem, whether of a Jewish-Israeli background or a Palestinian-Arab background.

The politically correct US mission in Jerusalem refused to assign the country of birth to those born in Jerusalem as either Israel or Palestine. Instead they came up with a clever diplomatic side step. Under country of birth, American consular officials put "Jerusalem".

For some time this diplomatic compromise worked, until theUS congress passed a law and a patriotic Israeli-American couple wanted to have their child's birth listed as Jerusalem, Israel.

US officials refused, saying this was in the executive branch's decision-making power as it, and not the legislative branch, decides foreign policy.

The angry Israeli-American suggested that Americans be given the choice of listing their country of birth as either Jerusalem or Israel.

Again the US State Department and White House refused, feeling that this choice can't be given to a Palestinian whose country of birth can't be legally stated as Palestine and, therefore, listing only Israelis born in Jerusalem as being born in Israel would clearly discriminate against Palestinians.

Every passport officer in the world would know (if the idea had been approved) that if they see someone listed as being born in Jerusalem they are in fact ethnically Palestinian.

The US State Department refused the request and the case was brought to the US court of appeals.

The US court of appeals for the District of Columbia, which reviewed the case of Menachem Binyamin Zivotofsky filed by his parents against the US secretary of state, ruled on July 23 that "Jerusalem-born Americans, whether supporters of Israel or supporters of Palestine, may not use their passports to make a political statement". It also reaffirmed that the executive branch and not the legislative branch of the US government decides such issues.

The pro-Israel lobby, which has a greater stranglehold over congress than the White House (especially a second term president), will undoubtedly be unhappy with this ruling.

The timing of this decision is crucial as the issue of Jerusalem will surely be a major topic of discussion if the expected negotiations between the Israelis and Palestinians are launched in the coming weeks and months.

The wisdom of the US court to keep out of a volatile conflict such as the Palestinian-Israeli one, and an even more sensitive issue of Jerusalem, is welcomed.

Reasonable science standards for Kentucky students called ?fascistic?

There are new science standards in Kentucky, which I believe are the ones outlined on this page.? They mandate understanding of evolution (as a fact! OMG!) and an acceptance that humans are causing global warming. I give a sample of each.

Here are the standards for evolution in high school (grades 9-12), which include good stuff like this:

Picture 1

And for ?Earth and human activity? (including climate change):

Picture 3Of course, Kentucky being where it is, its good citizens (I use that term loosely) aren?t going to let this rest, and, according to Cincinnati.com, a hearing in Frankfort, Kentucky brought out all the yahoos, and it was quite a fracas:

Supporters and critics of Kentucky?s new science education standards clashed over evolution and climate change Tuesday amid a high-stakes debate on overhauling academic content in public schools.

Opponents ridiculed the new standards as ?fascist? and ?atheistic? and said they promoted thinking that leads to ?genocide? and ?murder.?

Supporters said the education changes are vital if Kentucky is to keep pace with other states and allow students to prepare for college and careers.

Nearly two dozen parents, teachers, scientists and advocacy groups commented at a state Department of Education hearing on the Next Generation Science Standards ? a broad set of guidelines that will revamp content in grades K-12 and help meet requirements from a 2009 law that called for improving education.

On the pro side, a few scientists spoke:

?Students in the commonwealth both need and deserve 21st-century science education grounded in inquiry, rich in content and internationally benchmarked,? said Blaine Ferrell, a representative from the Kentucky Academy of Sciences, a science advocacy group that endorses the standards.

Dave Robinson, a biology professor at Bellarmine University, said neighboring states have been more successful in recruiting biotechnology companies, and Kentucky could get left behind in industrial development if students fail to learn the latest scientific concepts.

But they were outnumbered by outraged parents opposed to the ?fascistic and atheistic standards? (how could a good science standard be anything but atheistic, at least in terms of leaving out God?). Read and weep. I?ve put these in bold; they?d be funny if they weren?t so crazy and sad:

But the majority of comments during the two-hour hearing came from critics who questioned the validity of evolution and climate change and railed against the standards as a threat to religious liberty, at times drawing comparisons to Soviet-style communism.

One parent, Valerie O?Rear, said the standards promote an ?atheistic world view? and a political agenda that pushes government control.

Matt Singleton, a Baptist minister in Louisville who runs an Internet talk-radio program, called teachings on evolution a lie that has led to drug abuse, suicide and other social afflictions.

?Outsiders are telling public school families that we must follow the rich man?s elitist religion of evolution, that we no longer have what the Kentucky Constitution says is the right to worship almighty God,? Singleton said. ?Instead, this fascist method teaches that our children are the property of the state.?

At one point, opponent Dena Stewart-Gore of Louisville also suggested that the standards will marginalize students with religious beliefs, leading to ridicule and physiological harm in the classroom, and create difficulties for students with learning disabilities.?The way socialism works is it takes anybody that doesn?t fit the mold and discards them,? she said, adding that ?we are even talking genocide and murder here, folks.?

These statements are beyond belief. Communism? Atheistic world view? Evolution as a cause of suicide and drug abuse? Physiological harm to students? Evolution as a ?rich man?s elitist religion??? And yes, children are property of the state when it comes to how they?re taught science in public schools.? Can you imagine the result if the parents of Kentucky voted on the school currriculum? It would be back to flood geology!

These standards still need to be approved by the school board, and then forwarded to the legislature for approval.? In the meantime, the people of Kentucky should grow up and accept the facts.

Glenn Beck: The $1 bill proves America was founded to help Israel exist

In an odd rant about the secret symbolism on the $1 bill, right-wing conspiracy theorist Glenn Beck told an audience on Wednesday that America?s founders established the country so that conservative Christians could help the nation of Israel come into being nearly 200 years later. ?But that?s not all!? Beck declared. ?If you also see, and if you look at it in color, you will notice there is a white ring around that. And then a yellow ring. The white ring looks almost like clouds ? because it is! The cloud that led the people of Israel out during the day and the yellow ring represents the fire.?

Ravens Transcripts: Jonathan Ogden's Pro Football Hall of Fame Conference Call

Jonathan Ogden

On his reaction to being drafted by the Ravens in 1996 and what he first noticed when he got to Baltimore: ?There was some surprise, yes, because all the draftniks, all the people were saying that, ?You were going to go to the Cardinals with the third pick. You are going to go to the Cardinals.? That was getting beaten into my head the whole time. So, when the third pick came up, and they picked Simeon Rice, I was a little surprised. I knew things could always happen, but I was raised to get up when I heard the phone ring in the green room. Then Baltimore came on the clock next, and I knew I had taken the trip down to visit them, and I was like, ?Oh, you know. It seemed like an interesting organization because nothing was established yet.? When I got that call I was a little bit in shock, because one, I wasn?t expecting to go to Baltimore and two, I didn?t really know what to expect with Baltimore. After I talked to Ozzie [Newsome] and I talked to Mr. [Art] Modell, and I got an idea of what their plans were for Baltimore, I got excited after that. I said, ?I?m going to be a part of something here, and I?m going to help us build a winner here.??

On if getting ready for the induction this weekend has prompted him to do some reflecting on his career and what have been some of the most interesting things he has looked back on: ?I definitely have been looking back on my career while doing this speech that I?ve been dreading that I am going to have to? give. The one thing that I?m trying to wrap my mind around is giving that speech. I?ve never been that guy who likes to stand there and talk in public, but I?m ready to do it. But yes, I have definitely been doing some reflecting. My career was really solid. The one thing that I can say about my career was how I played really consistent football. I never really looked back and said, ?Man, if I would have done this, that or the other?? I always felt like I gave my all, and I was always consistent out there. I think that?s kind of what led me to become a great player. This game is about consistency at the end of the day. I think that?s probably about it there.?

On who will be presenting him at the Hall of Fame: ?Ozzie Newsome.?

On why he chose Ozzie Newsome to present him: ?I chose Ozzie [Newsome], because he brought me in to Baltimore. I respect him, and we work well together. I could always go talk to him, be honest with him, and he?s just one of the people that I really respect in the business. It just kind of made sense to me.?

On how much influence some of his old coaches had on him as a person and as a player: ?When you look back at it, it?s kind of funny. A lot of this stuff is in my speech, so you will get to hear it again. Definitely St. Albans had a huge influence on me. Skip Grant really kind of was one of the first people ? honesty, integrity ? really ? He walked it and lived it. You know the man, so you know who I?m talking about. You know Dick Allanson ? these guys really taught you good lessons in life. St. Albans taught you a lot. [They] taught us how to think for yourself, how to become a better citizen, and those are lessons that I definitely took. It?s kind of strange, yes, being one of the ? I guess I am St. Albans? first Hall of Famer. (laughing) I don?t think they have any other ones. It?s nice to bring some recognition to the school. I?m glad that I could do that for them, because they did so much for me.?

On what he most wants to be remembered for and what his dad?s thoughts would be about him being inducted: ?On the football field, I just want to be remembered as the guy who was dependable, who was a good teammate, who didn?t go out there and make silly mistakes, you knew he was going to be there game-in game-out, day-in day-out, had his teammates back out there. My dad would be very ? He would enjoy this day coming up. He was the guy who I wanted to be like growing up. I modeled playing after him. He knew that, and I?m just glad that he at least got to see most of my career. He didn?t get to see all of my career, but he got to see most of it. And, he also got to see his grandson, too. That?s the positives that I can take from it that he at least got to see some of those things.?

On if he can still see his dad at St. Albans watching him from the sidelines with a huge umbrella: ?Yes, I couldn?t get to football practice without that man. He would come pick me up every day, and he would come out to the games no matter what the situation was just to be there. Never really pushed me, but was always encouraging me. He wasn?t one of those parents who made me do it, but he kind of always had that encouraging word for me about just trying to stick in there, just keep your chin up. Times get tough, especially when you?re young. You?re a young man starting in the game, and you don?t know if you really love it. He kind of kept me going on that path.?

On if there was ever a time where he went to his dad and told him that he didn?t think he could continue to play football and his dad talked him back into it: ?No, there was never a time that I said that. I think I would have been let him down too much if I said that. But, when those days, when it?s tough, you are just like, ?Man, this is ? I don?t know. There?s nothing worth having that?s easy.? You just have to keep on pushing. If you enjoy the game, you have to work for it. It made me realize that.?

On what it was like for him getting inducted into the Hall of Fame and the Ravens winning the Super Bowl in the same year: ?That was really just one of those things ? You look at it, and you?re like, ?This can?t really be happening.? It just seems like a storybook, like somebody really isn?t going into the Hall of Fame while their team is playing in the biggest game on the planet in one of the best towns on the planet in New Orleans. And that ovation that I got at the coin toss was unbelievable. Then the whole drama of the game ? We end up winning. It could not have been a better weekend. I told them the only thing that could have made the weekend better is if Art Modell would have gotten into the Hall of Fame with me at the same time. That was the only thing that could have been better. Everything else was perfect. You get very few chances in life to say that. I enjoyed that weekend.?

On how it feels to be the Ravens? first overall pick and first original Hall of Famer: ?It feels great. When I was playing, I was just out there working. I couldn?t help the fact that I was the Ravens? first pick. It just kind of happened, and in my mind, all I wanted to do was help the guys win and go out there, so I don?t look at it in that perspective. When I do step outside of myself and look at it, it?s like, ?Wow, that guy ? he had it pretty good,? (laughter) if that makes sense. It?s hard in my own perspective to view it that way though.?

On how his football IQ impacted his game and if he still has his notebook of opposing pass rushers: ?No, the notebook disappeared a few years ago. I don?t know what happened to it. They always say [that] the quarterback and offensive lineman need to be the smartest ? quarterback maybe, but O-line definitely. It?s all about how quickly you can read and process what?s happening on the field and understand what the defense is trying to do to you. Where is that safety rotating down from? Where is that linebacker, the lineman ? is he inside? All these things that, when you play long enough, you can get a tip, and when you can get a tip, you don?t hesitate. So definitely, the smarter you are, the less hesitation you have in what you?re going to do, the better football player you?re going to be. I always prided myself on never hesitating, because I always knew my assignment.?

On where his football knowledge and instincts came from: ?Part of it is natural. There?s no doubt about it. But I also had really good coaching in high school. My line coach ? a guy named David Mohler ? he played at St. Albans, but then he went to North Carolina. Harris Barton was one of his teammates, and he got a lot of his information when he was there, and he brought that to us when I was at St. Albans. So, I never had to really unlearn bad habits. I always knew how to keep a wide base, try to keep my back straight and my head up ? all the things that people take for granted that you should know how to do. But I never had to unlearn any of those bad habits that a lot of people had. So, when I got to UCLA, my football IQ was more advanced than some other high school guys because I had tremendous coaching. I want to thank him for that. I can thank him in my speech.?

On what his career plans are for the next five years: ?At the present time, I enjoy ? because we have an 18-month-old daughter and an 8-year-old son ? I?m enjoying just being the dad, staying at home. In the near future, I still have my foundation work as well, in Baltimore. That?s not to say I?m not looking to expand and do a few more things. Exactly what? I?m not sure, but I?m sure things will pop up. As of now, I?m definitely very happy in the life that I?m living because raising children is hard work. (laughter) They?re tough little [rascals], and you have to stay on top of them.? (laughter)

On the influence of UCLA track and field coach Art Venegas: ?He was great. That guy ? he was a no-nonsense type of guy. He would just say, ?Look, this is what I need out of you, and you need get it done.? There are no excuses to be made with Art. He definitely taught me a lot about life, and we had a lot of interesting times throwing the shot with that guy. Next to Terry Donahue, he?s probably my most influential coach in college, for sure. Terry Donahue is No. 1, but Art Venegas is definitely No. 2.?

On his relationship with Art Modell: ?Art was just ? It?s unbelievable how the first time I met him, how nice the man was. It was about football, yes, but he also wanted to know about you the person. Like, ?How are you doing, how is the family?? He was always just concerned about that. When you get genuine, nice people, you just want to try to win for them. I can remember when we won that Super Bowl, how happy he was. We wanted to win for Art because of the things that he had done for us and for the city and for the way he was vilified. We all know that when you talk about genuine people, he?s up there. He?s got to be near the top of the list. I just wish that people would not hold the whole Cleveland thing against him, because he?s done so much for the league. Hopefully one day, we?ll get him recognized again.?

On his thoughts about Ravens fans and interacting with them at his induction ceremony: ?Oh, they?re crazy ? in a good way. (laughter) We?ve got really some of the best fans in the NFL. I?m just really looking forward to ? This moment isn?t really ? it?s for me, yes, but it?s for the fans. I played the game because we have such tremendous fans, [and] that?s why we play so hard out there. And just to get the opportunity to be amongst them, and just to thank them for the years of support, I?m really looking forward to it. I really want to share those moments with those guys, because at the end of the day, the fans are the ones who pay the NFL some bills [and] keep the league afloat. You definitely have to appreciate them, especially when they?re as loyal and as great as the fans in B-more are.?

On what people can expect to see from his foundation over the next couple of years: ?We?re going to try to do a few more programs. Right now, I can?t tell you off the top of my head exactly what, because right now, I?ve just been so focused on getting ready for this Hall of Fame [induction ceremony]. But we definitely plan on continuing to do the same things we have and trying to upgrade this year. We had to help a community center by getting computers put in there. We?re going to try to do a few more things ? just whatever is necessary. We?re a small foundation, but we try to do what we can, when we can. Whenever we have the opportunity to grow, we try to take that.?

Beat Low Self-Esteem | Alisina.org

? low-self-esteem

Dear Sir,

I am 46 years old. My mail is not about Islam. It is about me. I have been mired in low self-esteem for the last 24 years, and my life is just slipping away, day by day, doing nothing. All my attempts to impose my will on my frailties have failed, and I have developed ?learned helplessness?.

I am very impressed with your writings. Can you help me?

Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,

Low self-esteem is the root cause of many ills affecting us individually and socially.? Nathaniel Brandon, a pioneer in the field of self- esteem, in his book The Six Pillars of Self Esteem wrote, ?Apart from disturbance whose roots are biological, I cannot think of a single psychological problem?from anxiety and depression, to underachievement at school or at work, to fear of intimacy, happiness, or success, to alcohol or drug abuse, to spouse battering or child molestation, to co-dependency and sexual disorders, to passivity and chronic aimlessness, to suicide and crimes of violence?that is not traceable, at least in part, to the problem of deficient self-esteem. Of all the judgments we pass in life, none is as important as the one we pass on ourselves.?

I would go one step further and say that many of the mental disorders that are diagnosed as biological are psychosomatic in origin.? We affect our biology through our thoughts.? Much of the diseases, whether mental or physical are caused by our fears, worries, and are the products of our own thinking.

Every thought stimulates a gland or an organ and in response your body reacts.? Think of lemon juice and your mouth start salivating. Think of something fearful and your heart start beating faster; think of a funny thing and you start laughing; think a happy and joyous thought and your nerve cells start secreting dopamine, think of something erotic? and you become sexually aroused. Thoughts affect our body and our mind.

Predominant thoughts create permanent responses in our body and mind.? They eventually affect our body and our brain psychically.? Therefore, many mental and physical disorders are the result of our habitual negative thinking.? This also includes our sexual orientation.? Unlike what people believe today, no one is born a homosexual.? They become so as the result of thinking, which has its root in our infancy and childhood.

In the highest state of alertness, during the waking hours, the brain of an adult emits frequencies between 14-40 Hz. ?This is called Beta wave length. When we relax, with our eyes closed and slip into daydreaming our brain functions at 7.5 ? 14 Hz frequencies. This is called Alpha. ?During deep meditation and light sleep, including the all-important REM (Rapid Eye Movement) dream the brain frequency is dropped to 4 ? 7 Hz. This state is called Theta. And the brain frequency drops to 0.5 ? 4 Hz when we are in deep, dreamless sleep. This is Delta state.

A new brain frequency discovered recently is called Gamma. It is the fastest frequency at above 40 Hz.? While little is known about this state of mind, it is believed that it is associated with burst of insight and high-level information processing.

The brain of children below the age of five does not function at Beta frequency. When they are infants their brain functions with frequencies that are ranged as Theta and between the ages of 2-5 their brain activity reaches Alpha frequency.

The rational mind of an adult works with Beta frequency. The Alpha frequency is the realm of the subconscious mind. ?This means that children do not have a rational mind. ?We knew that already, however, the importance of this discovery is in the fact that now we know whatever we tell our children will be registered in their subconscious mind as programming. It becomes the blueprint of their life. ?Children don?t analyze what we tell them. In the first five years of their lives they download all the information that is fed to them whether consciously or subliminally.

After the age of five, the brain starts to function at Beta frequency.? Children start to be analytical and critical of the information they receive.? How? By sizing the mew information against the information that is already have programmed in their subconscious mind!? If the new information match the information with which they were programmed they accept it and if it does not, they reject it.

Whatever we do, from the age of 5 to 105 is the result of those five years of programming. So if in those five years you were told that you are not good enough, you are lazy, clumsy, will not amount to anything, etc. you will carry these beliefs as blueprint for the rest of your life.? Even when you grow up and become an educated person, you still have low self-esteem. Self-esteem has nothing to do with intelligence. You can be a very smart person and highly qualified. But you can?t become successful because every time the opportunity arises you feel inadequate and do not take advantage of it. You will in fact sabotage your chances in order to validate your beliefs about yourself.

As I said, our sexual orientation is also formed at this time. For some reason, we associate sexual gratification with a person of the same sex in childhood. This is done unconsciously. As we grow it becomes part of our personality.? Even our physiology responds to this expectation.

Propensity to addictions is also formed during these early years. Procrastination, eating disorders, failure to have friends and to form a loving relationship, failure to succeed in life and many traits that develop into mental disorders, such as narcissism, border line personality, depression, anxiety, paranoia, etc., are all the result of the childhood subconscious programming.? Most of them are byproducts of low self-esteem.? The seed is sown in childhood and the fruit matures when the individual reaches adulthood.

So what shall we do to improve our self-esteem? ?You can spend years going to psychologists who will help you undo the damage that is done to you in childhood, or you can take the fast approach that I will describe below. We love easy fixes and instant solutions. In life generally there are no such things. This is the only exception I know of.? So keep reading.

The subconscious mind it the powerhouse of our mind.? If it is programmed to do something it will do it, even if you consciously try to do something else.? You have no choice over your sub-conscious mind. ? Your will power does not work.? The mind can be compared to an iceberg. The conscious mind that is exposed is only 1/10th of the subconscious mind that is hidden under the water. Imagine you are sitting on that iceberg and trying to navigate it through the waters. The undercurrent waters take you to a direction that you don?t want to go. You paddle hard to go against the current.? But you go nowhere or as soon as you stop paddling you are again drifting back to the old habits.? If you only look at the hidden size of the iceberg you will realize why you fail.

I can suggest wonderful books on this subject. The best is The Six Pillars of Self-Esteem by Nathaniel Brandon, from which I quoted above text.? These six pillars are:

  1. The Practice of Living Consciously
  2. The Practice of Self-Acceptance
  3. The Practice of Self-Responsibility
  4. The Practice of Self-Assertiveness
  5. The Practice of Living Purposefully
  6. The Practice of Personal Integrity

I recommend this book. ?However, you need more than conscious understanding of the problem when you are dealing with something that has its roots in the subconscious mind. ?You have to change the programming of our subconscious mind.

The difficulty is in the fact that our adult brain is critical.? If you tell yourself that you are a loveable person, your critical mind will runs this information against what it has been programmed in your subconscious mind and if it is not resonating with it, will reject it.

The programming in your subconscious mind can be, and often is, false. But your subconscious mind is not concerned about true and false. It deals with emotions. Its job is self-preservation, i.e., the preservation of you. ?It will do everything to preserve the image that it has of you. If you tell yourself that you are a good person, your subconscious mind feels threatened because it only recognizes you as a worthless person and that is the image that it wants to preserve. ?You see, the subconscious mind is not rational.? It can?t distinguish between good and bad.? It accepts everything you tell it as fact.

meditation

The only way to change your life is to change the programming in your subconscious mind. And the way to do that is the same way that it was done in the first place. When you were a child you did not have a rational mind to filter the information that you received.? Now, you have to silence your rational mind completely if you want to re-write the programming in your subconscious mind. ?This can be done by bringing the brain frequency from Beta to Alpha and even to Theta levels. Then the critical mind is inactive and without its interference you can delete the negative programming in your subconscious mind and write new ones.

This is very simple.? How long does it take? It can take half an hour. But for a lasting effect you need to repeat it daily for at least 30 days to start feeling the result. ? This is the fastest way I know for radical and lasing transformation. It is far more effective than any therapy.

If the programming in my subconscious mind tells me I am a failure. I can tell myself I am a success, but I won?t believe it. It all sounds lies to me.? Because I have accepted the lies that I am not good in my childhood as truth, now my subconscious mind will reject anything that goes against those lies. The Jesuits understood this very well. Their maxim was ?Give me a child for his first seven years and I?ll give you the man.? This also explains why we cling so tenaciously to the religion of our childhood, even though we know nothing about it. I can?t tell you how many times I have received emails from rude Muslims who tell me they are not scholars and they are not even good Muslims but they insult me and act most obnoxiously. They are threatened when I criticize their religion because they identify themselves with it.? Truth and falsehood is irrelevant for the subconscious mind. Your belief about yourself is the same. You want to cling to that belief as if your life depend on it.

The good news is that we can change our childhood programming.? To do that we have to access our subconscious mind without the interference of our conscious mind. ?We can do that through meditation and/or self-hypnosis.? Go to Youtube and search under self-hypnosis. You will find many recordings that will help you lower your Beta brain activity through relaxation, and after you reach the Alpha state of mind, they reprogram your belief about yourself.

Miraculous transformations can happen almost overnight.? You can get rid of any addiction, any self-debilitating behavior and belief about yourself. You can gain more self-confidence, overcome your fears and anxieties, get rid of your bad habits, ?eliminate your shyness, meet the love of your life, improve your relationship, overcome your anger, and be a more happy and successful person.? Self-hypnosis, meditation and visualization are ways to do that.? They are far more effective than any psychotherapy and they cost nothing.?? There are also hypnotic practitioners that can help.? In most developed countries they are licensed.

Don?t let your low self-esteem rob you from your life. You have tremendous powers hidden within you.? Access your subconscious mind and reprogram yourself the way you want yourself to be through meditation and self-hypnosis. Hypnotherapy can create unconscious change in you in your thoughts, attitudes, behaviors and your feelings.? We have the technology to redesign ourselves. Why live with limitations when you can reach the moon?
