Welcome, and some ground rules . . .

Hello and welcome to this blog. If all goes well, I will be but one of many authors but being the instigator, you all may have to put up with me the most often.

My name is Ben and I have struggled with making this site. People don’t like change. Don’t believe me? Go try to make a major one. Pick anything. I guarantee someone will pop out of the woodwork to tell you why you shouldn’t.

This blog is a big change for me and while I do have a lot of support from those nearest me, it opens my personal life ( and more troubling, those of my family) up to a great many nay-sayers who will doubtless have plenty to say. But in my older age, I am beginning to understand that it is ok not to agree with me (which is a good thing as most people do not:). I bring this up not to play the martyr, rather to establish ground rules. Not only is it ok not to agree with me, it is a basic tenant of personal freedom to which I devoutly subscribe.

So the rules are simple:

  • We have gathered this information together in the knowledge that it can help. No one can take that knowledge from us because we have both experienced it personally as well as we have seen it work in the lives of others.
  • We are not selling anything so detractors have no moral need to protect the innocent from these ideas.
  • Dissenting viewpoints are the basis of any civil society and so are welcome here so long as they stay civil. And we will do our level best not to try to convince anyone of anything in addition to not letting anyone see when our feelings are hurt.
  • Feel free to pick and choose ideas presented and please keep an open mind. The only thing we can assure you of is that if you try a few of the ideas and get similar results, your mind will change.
  • If nothing in this site resonates with you, that simply means you are in the wrong place. It is not an affront. It is not a judgement. It is not an assignment of exaltation on either side of any argument. It is simply a sign that you either did not find what you are looking for, or did not recognize it as such.
  • Finally, please look through the information presented. Find something that piques your interest. You may not agree with it. You may even be vehemently opposed to the idea. We understand as we have lived the vast majority of our lives in either ignorant or pious opposition to most of what is on this site. But give it a chance. Use your finely honed critical thinking skills. If you cannot come to a conclusion, give it a try. That is the best way to know.

We truly hope from the depths of our beings, that it brings you the results, the health, happiness and new outlook on life that it has brought to us.  Enjoy!
