I am a ubuntu taoist. Being a ubuntu taoist I infuse humanity and compassion after taking care of my own clarity, success, and happiness. Ubuntu is so much clearer, better, more rational than "compassion" or "giving to the needy" or even "altruism" becaues of its mathematical correlate. Aiding fellow man not for some promised stake in heavenly treasure or to avoid the fiery pits of hell are logical fallacies appealing to flattery and fear, respectively. Ubuntu is proportional; it's reciprocating. If some person is down, you're down; if some person is up and successful, you're up and successful. It is, again, a reiteration of the golden rule, but there has been a reason that that aphorism has been paraphrased billions of times -- it works.
The problem with "love thy neighbor" and "give alms to the poor" is that, being "commandments" and "pillars", they are "rules" that evoke fear if not practiced. You don't inspire people for the long-term with aversions. The periodical involvement of a routine -- ritualized or conformed -- causes you to deteriorate internally. Ubuntu is all external, there's no scattering, nothing to be lost in translation. It's just the practice of humanitarian logic, and very "un-religious", which is why it's so efficient.
On the humanitarian end you have "moral cohesion" and solidarity, on the scientific, biological end you have altruism and mutuallistic symbiosis. While all of these involve sociological support and positivity, only the realm of ubuntu comprehensively covers the middle ground of this benevolent spectrum.
Christianity, Islam, Judiasm -- very inefficent constructs. The very idea of religion is enormously inefficient. What is the purpose of a religion? "The belief in and worship of a superhuman contrlling power". Superhuman implies out-of-touch from human, which, being degrading, implies inadequacy -- a falsity. "Worship", again, an enormously deformed and disfigured concept, "Adoration for a deity" because it brings in problematic uncertainties of "deity" and, again, the inadequacy and falsity of degradation of "humans". Ubuntu is apathetic to what most religion consider important -- deity, heaven, hell -- because those are unimportant. Does something nonexistant really matter? We are the gods and the heavens we seek.
Most religion is just accelerated marketing. Jesus was a brilliant marketer. He said "those who want to be with me will sell all they own and take up a cross and follow me". What kind of slogan campaign today demands that the consumer practice only the faith of "Microsoft" or "General Electric" or "Boeing"? Ad slogans all have the intention for the consumer to take up a product or service without "betrayal to the competition".
Ubuntu is raw, real, and applied. It isn't a picking and choosing of the parts of other religions that are dysfunctional because it is purely functional. It's 2+2=4; it's "water is fluid"; it's reality.

I am also beginning to see the power of reciprocity . The best years of my lives were 98 and 99. Friends took me to see BNL, I dated beautiful women, I got into the most rewarding awesome classes. That was the "payday" from doing a lot of love-giving with Alexa and doing beach walks, surfing, reaching out to meet new people, too.
I read very little books, drank a LOT of alcohol and strongly just "gave" to people. Not in a deliberately entertaining way, like telling a lot of jokes or something, but, rather, in a was an asset in the asset loop. So with karma earnings, I need to realize that computer usage and TV watching are border asset, if you use it for what I do, notes and publishing it's giving back in a HUGE way, making it a major reciprocating gesture, but nothing is as powerful as raw human interaction.
In the past 33 hours I've been awake, I've run 14 miles, biked 14, ran 1 mile with weights, hiked 2 trails (about 1.5 miles), grocery shopped twice, dropped off four application/resumes and met up with a restaurant owner, neighbors, and totally gave successful to these people like my parents, beating them finally and fully at their own game.
How is this possible? For me, this may be for others, too, I get energized when I exercise. I feel more "rested" and ready to get at them and tackle any challenge after an hour of running than an hour of sleeping. In fact, my energy level after an hour os sleeping is 2 and my energy level after an hour of running is 10 on a 10-scale! Physiologically, it gets hormones pumping, circulation strong, you're more fluid, you have more connection after running, you think more clearly and better, and stronger, whereas after sleep it just doesn't work out that clearly.
Okay, it's VERY clear to me what running and intense breathing exercise like that does for me. It slows me down, not an encumbrance, though, but so that my body can keep up with my mind. Normally it can't. Normally my mind and body are out of proportion. My mind isn't fully awake and I'm trying to do stuff or my body is shut-down with an alert mind, it creates mind-body connection simply generates a huge feeling of peace.

What the heck is going on? There's been some kind of hostage situation, or cop-shooting each day the past few days at noon. It's like the mid-day drama, terrorism episode.
Ah, now the bush "administration" (bit of a misnomer considering it is really just a shamnistration for looking like leadership). My bubble has burst. For years I've been reticent about Bush saying that I simply "don't think that much about him" and that he's an "actor" and that "he doesn't want to be doing what he's doing" (presidency). All of those are true, but I've never been critical of his intelligence, and I will continue that as well. However, there has a been a clear shift in the perspective of his adminstration. The big guns have begun to laugh at him -- Clinton's back.
Clinton, now that dude is a real leader. He's got the ubuntu, humanity, compassion ideology and practice down, but he's not some irate, angry, afraid preaching brainwashing religious freak (all those cultists are really just afraid, angry idiots). Clinton is warm, he's a people person. Most importantly he's a frickin' player! And he's not afraid to hide that even in the oval office! His sincerity is effulgent. Now, the bush "administration" is the worst set of terms served in our nation's history. It's already beginning to get chewed up in the historical meat-grinder for it's indifference, cheesiness,, inertness, and efforts to utilize fear (plugging in TSA protocols in the airports creates fear, it doesn't diminish it, so that people than revert to, all though american people are not idiots, "their" leader). Usually it takes a decade for a presidential term to become examined with disdain, like Carter's "malaise speech" (which wasn't even that bad) or Hoovervilles from Herbert, but only in the Bush administration is it beginning to look like a blemish in the vicissitudes or our country's brilliant sequence of leadership, and Clinton is the perfect pointman to not just pick it apart, but to just laugh at it, compared to his solid leadership in the 90s.

The Best Actors
In other words, the best actors dont' "act" or put on emotional masks at all. They remove those masks and simply put themselves in situations that would cause any person not concealing their emotiosn to react with a display.
If there's machine gun fire in the background or buildings are exploding or loved ones die or victories are own, the greatest actors just react the way a normal, non-facade-wearing human would react. Because actors are actually "real" and not acting, they remind the many of us who get caught up in politics -- deceit of guises, gimmicks, and tricks -- and forget what it's like to be human, of our right and capacity to be human. Acting recollects the human spirit, in that sense.

Weekly Motivational Remedies
- Learn to be more the parent and less the child. Realize that you gain ground when you become a greater source of compliments to others than a receiver of kind words from our bosses.
- The Best Recognition is Applied -- Expansive Responsibilities. The best recognition you can receive comes when the organization has enough confidence in your abilities to expand your responsibilities and compensates you fairly for what you accomplish.
- Don't go off half-cocked --Gather information when dealing with a problem. Gather all the facts: who, what, when, where, why? Define the locale, type and extent of the problem as quickly as possible. Assess the damage. And double-check your information.
- It's better to be a suck-up than a "I-don't-carer". If you're the boss, you'd promote a person sucking up 50,000 times faster than a person who is chapfallen or dejected.
- Rebels rarely survive for the long haul. From Jesus (crucified) to William Wallace (drawn and quartered) rebels don't stick around for too long. Learn the ropes, the folklore, how the business works outside of the "manuals" and see who reports to whom. You can only change it when your in it and are coognizant of the businesses modus operandi.

Good Ol' Emerson
"To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius." Brilliance is believing in your intrinsic correctness.

Fugue of Life
▼ ❑ Fugue of Life: Life Circuits-
• ❑ What is this? These are my beliefs on life circuits -- the patterns that evolve our personality to self-actualization.
• ❑ Fugue of Life: Life Circuits-- in music, a Fugue is where a short melody (RoR) is introduced and one by one part successively taken up and developed by interweaving the parts. In psychiatry, a state or loss of one's identity frequently sparked by a flight from one's environment, associated with hysteria and epilepsy.
▼ ❑ Secluded Superstar -- the mundane makeup, the typical "normal" personality. Before any of the four steps occur. Before the journey has started. HIGH AMOUNT OF CONFUSED CONVICTIONS.
• ❑ Typical Duration: Can occur one's entire life if they never engage this process. (Age 6-16 for me)
• ❑ Magnitude of Confidence: Presence of Confidence < confidence ="Presence"> Presence of Fear, Inconsistently.
▼ ❑ Conditioning Keel -- The stabilizing, day-to-day patterns and rituals that we develop to stabilize our ideas and empowered beliefs
• ❑ Typical Duration: 2-4 years (using the eliptical machine, counting calories, marathon training, biking in SB; daily writing in SB; and daily journals and reading Zen book and cleanign room weekly at CC)
• ❑ Magnitude of Confidence; Presence of Confidence >Presence of Fear, Consistently. Confidence is Habitually Empowered
▼ ❑ Intrinsic Infusion -- This is where you have time to reflect; you often realize your empowerd, focused state; you understand are different from others; you eat more healthily (water-rich foods, vegetarianism, etc.), need less sleep (sleep on the floor, better for back), exercise with more intensity (faster, more aligned with your body, stronger, lift more weight, run marathons, bike tons of miles); often you help others in their process; you reconnect with old family and friends and all of their words help and direct you; people are constantly recognize how far you've gone in your journey and they are helping you, too; there is a high degree of compassion, love, and happiness experienced here. This primarily occurs by yourself (as opposed to help with other from other people; Conditioning Keel is almost all from help by other people!). The main realization here is you realize that having fun in life is NOT copping out; it is achieving the most success in your life. Peolple who think you can't have too much fun (authentic fun, not drugs) are always energized, bouncing up and down in their seats off the walls, and perpetually successful
• ❑ Typical Duration: Lifetime (Now; writing; This is where I am write now)
• ❑ Magnitude of Confidence; Presence of Confidence >> Presence of Fear, Consistently. You have such a surplus of confidence, you are naturally confident and can spend time helping others with this evolutionary process of life circuits and life fugue.
• ❑ -----
▼ ❑ The Whole process
• ❑ Typical Duration: Lifetime but taking the averages of the time durations (1+5+5+2 = 13 years (max is around 27 years) most people start this at 40 and finish by mid-50s) Successful people start it VERY YOUNG; which is what I am doing and have done. (Now; writing; This is where I am right now)
• ❑ Magnitude of Confidence; Presence of Confidence moves from a deficit to a monumental deficit to breaking even to inconsistently surplus to consistently, monumentally surplus.
• ❑ WHAT COMES NEXT? Repeat the RoRs? No, I've done enough of those. Help people get started with their RoRs, establish Crystalliized Conditioning, Conditioning Keel, just like people helped me with those, incredibly!

Everything aesthetic has a biological logical explanation:
Hourglass figures like Marilyn Monroe....women with large breasts and narrow waists have higher hormone levels.
Women with higher hormone levels -- esrogen levels -- are more attractive.
In times of scarcity, heavier women are more attractive.
All of those "attractive" elements of beauty are not Maybeline cosmetics or high heels, it's purely biology, wired directly to the sole goal of reproduction. Hourglass figures, estrogen, heaviness ensure, respectively, potential to bear children, potential to successful be infertilized, and, in times of famine, to provide nourishment for reproduction.
Scientific studies have shown high breast to under-breast ratios and low waist to hip ratios reveal higher hormone levels. The beautification of the "Barbie" has some biological grounding.
Pheromones -- those odorless, sightless chemicals can dupe men into being attracted to a moderately attractive women or a woman normally not considered to be attractive. In the sexual tug-of-war, pheromones are the wild card.

Heating up the conversation, getting loud, intense, guttural, and very charged comes when you speak with your intention from the lower chakras. You can really start cooking if you put your intention on the orange chakra; and you're an unstoppable ball of screaming energy when you focus on the root chakra. Then if you draw your energy back up to the heart, throat, mind's eye, or crown, you speak, respectively with more and more slow, serene, more highly-calculated, "higher source" area.
In communicating through voice, you draw from all chakras, independently, at different times.
Each chakra has the equal amount of deliberateness, sincerity, and intention, but drawing from different chakras to communicate will vary the cadence, speed, tonal inflection, and vigorousness of body language and hand gesturesde. Depending on the listener or audience, some chakras will be more poignant, convincing, and communicate the message more clearly. For example, with an easily distracted youthful teen, the wild, rockstar-like, deep guttural, quick-movement animation from the root chakra will instantly draw their intention. However, to an elderly person, or very sensitive and wise person, such an explosive interaction would frighten them or cause them to deactivate as a listener. In the case of an older and/or calmer person communicating from the throat and above chakras would be the most effective circuitry.
Experiment with different chakra schematics, but then develop an ability to assess which chakra locus of communication derives the most effective message beforehand. Being able to study a person like the lion and then commit with curious intensity like the shark to whatever chakra communicational level is appropriate at that time is your key to being not just an effective, but a synergistic, compelling, alluring, and captivating communicator.
