Are You the Center of Your Attention ? Should the focus of your Intent be on the object only? Should your Attention also be on the space surrounding the object? Does Attention translate into Action if Resistance or Fear is felt? Does Resistance change feelings into verbal interpretations? read more …

Throughout evolution, competition for survival has been only one side of the story. Mutual aid has been the other side. Mitochondria evolved from a symbiotic relationship in which the earliest cells contributed raw materials, and bacteria contributed energy. Later on, early humans cooperated in hunting, migration, and child care. Language can also build bridges among…

As human beings are extremely inter-dependent, the power goes to who’s best at manipulating other’s dependence. What could be better for this purpose than language, the specifically human tool that is used to justify anything? Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to change based on the bond between neuro-logical processes and bio- mechanical/behavioral patterns as…

We see how aggressive competition gives rise to dominance hierarchies that then define as social classes. However, in today’s complex societies, we can be “dominant” in some areas and “subordinate” in others. Power varies with the alliances and associations that we may form. Studies have shown that rank in the dominance hierarchy is often transmitted…

Limited resources lead to two kinds of competition: If resources are scattered and cannot be defended, people compete through speed, trying to take the resources before someone else does, But if resources are close enough to be defended, then people compete through confrontation + aggression. Because these struggles demand so much energy from both the…

The diagram shows how the distribution of resources affects the emergence of certain social behaviors: primates and people form alliances and engage in behaviors to reduce the tension among them, or to reconcile after conflicts: read more …

Amongst most animals, size and strength determine priority of access to resources. In human beings, higher rank in the social hierarchy results almost exclusively from gestures of support received in the past, and thus social learning. The struggle of humans against adverse environmental conditions led to the need to help one another. Friendships, our romantic,…

Acquiring Resources We all share our environment with other people of which most are seeking resources to ensure their survival. The distribution of these resources influences the kinds of relationships we establish with other people, in other words, our social organization. This organization could be viewed as a sophisticated way of acquiring resources. In the…

TROPHOLOGY Trophology is the science of nutrition. A nutritional approach that advocates specific combinations of foods as central to good health and weight loss. Starch and sugar? Eating starches disguised as sweets is NOT healthy. The saliva produced by the “treat” contains none of the enzyme needed to digest the starch because the sugar has…

TROPHOLOGY Acid fruits with carbohydrates? The enzyme in the mouth’s saliva does the important job of converting complex starch molecules into simpler sugars. This requires a neutral or slightly alkaline medium, which is the natural oral condition in the mouth. When acid foods are eaten, the action of the enzyme required to break down starch…

The science of food combining Should you eat 2 concentrated proteins together? Each type of protein requires a specific character, strength and timing of digestive juice secretions. Thus, it is better for the body to NOT eat two types of concentrated protein together. Better NOT mix nuts, meat, eggs, cheese, etc. Polyunsaturated fats, found in…
