Most of us have heard of Mitochondria,  but I decided to take a closer look at the little goobers to see if I like them or not.  See what you think.

Mitochondria are small round or peanut shaped compartments (0.5–10 micrometers) that are partitioned off by membranes. They are only found in complex cells.

There can be anywhere from one to one thousand mitochondria in a single cell. These organelles are often called the “power plants” of the cell because those who study them believe their main job is to make energy.

Mitochondria are actually very interesting little buggers because they contain their own genetic material (genome) and protein-making machinery enwrapped in a double membrane.

Many scientists believe mitochondria were once free-living bacteria that colonized complex cells at some point during evolution and then became a necessary part to the health of  the organism.  I wonder if viruses could do that for us too.

Besides their role in energy production, mitochondria participate in a natural process called programmed cell death–or PCD–during development.

Scientists do not completely understand PCD, or how obsolete cells self-destruct when ther’e no tissue damage. But that’s not surprising, folks—scientists don’t understand how cells come into being, either.

Today I was talking to Dr. Yuen about a certain type of people—the ones who think ‘they’ve seen it all’,  he called them (with no judgmental attachment to his voice).

“Oh yea”, I agreed, “the ones who try to fit the Method into something they already know, as opposed to  those who leave room for something new to come along.”   (I like to explore human mindsets, you see.)

Pause to explore.

And now the question:  What type of person, do you think, learns the something new faster?  The one who thinks he’s seen it all, or the one who thinks there might be something new to see?  The one who has a been there/done that attitude, or the one who looks for something new to experience? The one who tries to fit the everchanging peg into the neverchanging hole or …..Time’s up!

If we try to fit the Yuen Method into the reality we’ve already structured for ourselves, a large part of its infinite potential is lost from the get-go.

Why can’t it be OK not to know everything about life?  What if someone else knows something more about it than we do?  We aren’t going to lose face or die, or lose the ability to think for ourselves, are we?…..Oh well, enough said.

I find that Dr. Yuen’s technique constantly changes and evolves, but thanks mostly to Dr. Yuen.   I truly believe that if it weren’t for his fearless, nonjudgmental approach to limitless existence that the whole method  would be more like a religion.

The first thing many of us do, consciously or unconsciously, when exposed to the Yuen Method is try to peg it—make it fit with what we already know.  It’s kind of a logical mind thing or a security issue we have with boundaryless states of existence.   Sad to say, most of us want our boundaries like a baby wants a pacifier.

Dr. Yuen’s approach to life , on the other hand, is limitless and, therefore, much more freaking fearless.  Thank goodness, too.  It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it—be nonjudgmental and fearless enough to connect with any and all of the answers out there.

Somebody has to be OK with not boxing up chunks of infinity.  Someone has to be open to everchanging questions, everchanging answers and the truth of infinite human potential, even if most of us can’t stand that approach—even if 99.999% of us want to put a box around life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, not to mention the afterlife.

Now that I’ve mentioned it, the afterlife, religions are notorious for putting a  box around what is possible and what isn’t, well into the afterlife.  OK, OK, sometimes the box is bigger, as in the case of Snake Handlers sometimes it’s smaller, as in the case of the Born-Agains, but there’s still a box. Let’s face it. Those dudes who head up religions have your afterlife in a box!

Here’s the bottom line, people. Let anyone who boxes up infinity dictate your life too much, and you’ll confine your search for answers to a structured box someone else made.  It’s a security thing or a karmic thing, or some other thing…but whatever the thing is, infinity gets severely affected.  Infinity is not meant to live inside a box.  It’s sacrilege!

The problem with Infinity is, it’s pretty much an impossible concept for our logical minds to deal with, and the poor logical mind wants logical answers.  Infinity just ain’t logical, but ((big but)) that’s where intuition comes in.

If we want to connect with all the answers for existence, we need to be able to access infinity.  If we want to access infinity, we need to use the Yuen Method.  The fact that the method pushes us toward destructuring reality as we know it might make us feel shaky at first…at second….at third.  But, just because it’s something new, shouldn’t stop us in our push towards limitless potential.  Try to put the Yuen Method into the box you already know and you’ve lost most of what’s available.  Just experience it!  just feel it!

Here’s some type of conclusion.  If we want to learn the Yuen Method faster, we open to the possibility that it is something new, something we’ve never run across before.   So we just shut our logical minds off, pretty much, especially when they start rampaging in a critical direction.

We let something new seep in, if no other reason, than just to see how it affects us.

Full speed ahead!

A couple days ago I had an interesting thought.  What if we’re all just unconscious pawns of our programmed drive towards karmic resolution?

No matter what your answer might be to this question, I think you’ve gotta agree with me on one thing:  Human beings do some pretty convoluted things that don’t make any sense.

And now I state my case.

One of the funniest corrections Chris ( my partner of 25 years) ever got from Dr. Yuen happened live from New York during a seminar.  Chris was standing up there in front of 35 really neat New Yorkers with his arm outstretched and Dr. Yuen suddenly asked him this seemingly unrelated question. “Would it bother you if you were the kind of person who went around beating other people up?”

“No, ” Chris answered proudly, “I’d feel they deserved it.”

And people laughed.

“OK, OK,” Dr. Yuen said with a grin,  “I got it now…How would you feel if you were a policeman who went around beating people on the head with a stick?”

“Terrible!” Chris answered, his arm collapsing like a ton of bricks.

“Well that’s what you did, ” Dr Yuen said. “You went around beating men up with a stick.”  He paused. “And instead of looking for some man to beat you up, you’ve been looking for a woman to beat you up.”

There was silence in the room, while we all pondered Chris’ strange karmic search for a woman to beat him up.

Then Dr. Yuen stuck his head sideways around all the rows in front of me till he could see me in the last one. “How does that make you feel Laura?”

“I’ve been used,” I blurted out without thinking.

And everybody burst out laughing for a long time.

I still remember that feeling of something inexplicable leaving my body.  I’ll always remember that moment—Chris says he didn’t feel anything, but it really changed things.  NO, I’m not saying I quit beating Chris up.  We had been together for 22 years and though I had yet to hit him, I had been sorely tempted from time to time and the temptation was getting stronger.

Ever since that one seemingly tiny karmic correction from Dr. Yuen, though, I’ve never even thought about hitting me mate.  Such a model chap he’s been.

And why should I want to hit him now?  After Dr. Yuen corrected Chris for beating other men with a stick, Chris stopped looking for a woman to beat him up….which means he stopped trying to make me be a husband beater, plus he stopped flirting with crazy young women who were known to beat men up.

Someone out there tell me we’re not driven on an unconscious level by what we think we owe, or what we think is owed us.

How does that make you feel?

Strong…..Weak… Strong…..Weak….Strong…0101010101010101010?!?!
Feeling the difference between strong and weak is not as simple as it looks. How do we feel the difference between strong and weak?  Shouldn’t it be obvious? 

This is the one of the first questions I hear from people when they are learning Dr. Yuen’s technique. I’ve seen some of the best go down under the pressure too—everybody from medical intuitives to ministers.  Even a few health food store owners have been known to crumble.

Seriously folks, I used to ask this question a lot and I still ponder it on occasion. At least I’m past the point of lying in bed at night with my hand on the midline for hours— toes pointing in, toes pointing out, toes in (strong), toes out (weak). During the day, I’d stand or sit and do the same drill. Toes in/Toes out.

In the beginning, the method seemed so foreign to me. Feeling strong/weak was different from anything I’d ever tried. There were times when I got discouraged and even ashamed not to get the feeling of strong and weak right away (very weakening emotions those two).

It’s just that I not only expected to be able to do everything right away, I figured I’d be great at it! Stupendous! The best in the world!

I’m so psychic and so intuitive and so in touch with my feelings and all the psychological reasons behind each and every one of them. I’ve delved so deeply into my childhood traumas—dug them out wth relish and dissected every small detail of parental abuse, uncovered every reason for self loathing, purged the religious dogma from every last thought process… only to find that nothing had really changed. After all those years of delving nothing had really changed.

Pause.

Surprise, surprise! Being psychic only complicated ‘strong and weak’. And my intuition…well let’s just say it was too gunked up to feel much of anything, much less anything as neutral and pure as strong and weak.

So here I am, further on down the road. I have to smile when I think about strong and weak. How can we not feel strong and weak? It’s around us every second of our lives. I think those feelings are so much a part of our daily routine that we just don’t recognize them any more.

I mean, don’t we make countless decisions every day based on what we think is strong or weak? Don’t we make some feeble attempt to compare these two principles, consciously or unconsciously, every time we make a big decision for our families, our finances, our careers, our health? Aren’t we constantly comparing stuff?

Actually, comparison is still a good way to do it.  So back to the basics: Toes in/toes out. Hand on the midline, hand off. Circle the wagons, uncircle the wagons.

Too basic for some of you? Try this, then. Take a concept you are sure is strong and compare it to one you are positive is weak.

How about war and peace? (Careful now).

War and peace—-two basic concepts that seem obvious in their effect.  Right?  Tarzan say, “ Peace Strong. War Weak!”

(Not so fast, all you tarzans out there.) Is peace always strong?

Peace can feel every bit as weak because it brings up or triggers its opposite. Or peace can feel weak because you are motivated to action by battle. Or peace can feel weak because you believe you have some debt to pay to the karmic society of spirits.

In the Yuen Method, we make ourselves strong to both—-Strong to war and strong to peace, so that neither causes a weakness in us—us being our body mind spirit triad. If this general correction doesn’t work, we look for that programmed memory, such as the time we broke a peace treaty with Geronimo. (just a random example)

That’s why the Yuen method is so amazing and creative. It doesn’t presuppose the answer to any question. It tests the answer with intuition—-at first someone else’s intuition is preferable, then you can use your own—-after it’s been de-bugged and de-gunked, of course, with Yuen corrections.

In other words, after Dr. Yuen uses a simple correction to separate your intuition from the other mental and spiritual functions of the body mind spirit (BMS) triad, along with the dead weight of accumulated negative emotions, you are on your way big time.

And what a lighter way it is!

Here’s the thing, folks. Getting the answer to strong and weak is not based on what you think the answer should be, or what you feel ahead of time the answer should be, or what anyone tells you the answer should be, or even what the spiritual teaches say the answer is—it’s based on what the answer truly is for you, or tests to be.

Let your mind formulate one question at a time and then shut it off. Teach your mind to share time with your intuition. At first your mind won’t want to. It may even pile question on top of question or argue its case. (Don’t shut me off, Laura, you need me, Laura, you can’t learn anything new.)

Shut that mind up, folks—- Give your intuition a chance to connect with the answer. That’s what intuition was born to do—connect with answers. The answers are out there. Let your intuition test your answers for strong and weak without any interference from the logical part of your mind. It will thank you later down the road. (Thank you, Laura. Thank you , Laura.)

Your mind might try to get back into the act, though, by making something pop up into your head real quick. Now don’t be fooled by the first thing that pops in your head—it’s not necessarily in your head ‘cause your intuition found it. Rather than always going with the first thing that pops in your head, you’d probably be better off pulling petals off a flower like the loves-me loves- me-not game till you get down to the last strong or weak petal.

Yea, that’s what I said—pulling petals off a flower is better than going with the first thing that pops in your head.

Before too many flowers get plucked in to an early grave, though, let’s hear someone else’s ideas about strong and weak. How about yours?

Laura signing off with happy feet: toes in toes out toes in toes out….
