Thus, she needs to treat herself like a queen, as she is supreme.

It is remarkable how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness, but beauty is incomplete without cosmetics. It is 2017 now and a vast variety of fancy cosmetics that are readily accessible to women of all ages and domains of life.

If you have become overweight and have had no luck in losing it and keeping it off it might well be that your subconscious mind is the reason. Somewhere deep inside your inner mind programming is some limiting beliefs and junky type thinking that is stopping you from achieving your goals.

You may wonder what junk thinking is. Well, it is bad attitudes, beliefs and ideas about food and exercise covering everything from misinformation, inherited wisdom about dieting and nutrition right through to plain old self-delusion. You are likely not even aware of this because it is happening unconsciously but the power of your subconscious mind is what drives your habits and actions (or inactions).

If you are programmed to think like a thin person you would not likely even be overweight as slim people eat differently to their overweight friends. They tend not to eat the wrong types of foods, too much of them and avoid exercise which is basically how one becomes overweight. They tend to exercise more regularly as it's not a bother to them but rather something they look forward to and actually enjoy.

But don't worry we can change your mind-set so it is working with you rather than against you as one of the most important factors in weight loss success is your attitude. This means whether or not you believe (and keep on believing) that you can make the changes in your lifestyle you need to make to lose weight and that these changes are worth doing. Without a more positive and focused attitude you will think and feel differently and in turn that will affect the actions you take and don't take.

Slim people think differently to overweight people

It is probably hard for you to imagine how much easier it would be to lose weight if you could have the mind software program of a slim, fit person. It is even hard to understand that your very own thoughts are the reason why you have become and stay stuck in an overweight body. The way you think and feel about yourself, about your body, towards your weight and how you think about food, exercise and an overall healthy lifestyle are all the root cause of your weight / food issues.

But the very good news – it is possible to find, identify and eliminate those ideas, feelings, self-beliefs and patterns of thinking in your mind that are causing your destructive habits that continue to self-sabotage you time and time again .. When we 'flesh them out' and replace them with more positive, focused thoughts, feelings and self-beliefs you will start losing weight much more naturally. Once you have this mind software upgrade you won't need a diet of any sort as you will have the key to permanent weight loss that is easy and effortless.

The good thing that you will discover is when you ditch the mind roadblocks that are keeping you stuck you will find it SO MUCH easier to make better food choices, eat less and get some proper exercise into your life on a regular basis. You will actually WANT to do these things and you WILL enjoy them too. This may seem difficult to grasp now but that is what this mind software upgrade will give you and that is what will get and keep you slim.

Once your new thoughts are dropped into your subconscious mind you will immediately begin to lose the excess fat weight. As time goes on these thoughts, feelings and self-beliefs will grow and intensify like seeds planted in the soil and you will become more focused on your goals. That slim, fit, strong, healthy, feel-good body is just waiting inside you to get out and it will be easier and more effortless to achieve than you can believe.

On why altruism is not completely altruistic and yet ultimately good for humanity…

In my discussion on ambition, I left out altruism and in a way that exclusion was intentional. Personal ambition would be directly arising from a personal need whereas altruism by definition is going beyond self and going beyond personal needs. Altruism as coined by French philosopher Auguste Comte in the 19th century literally means ‘to others’. Altruism is thus placing the needs of others before one’s own needs and so characterized by selfless behavior, altruism would in principle not be a cause of ambition. If altruism is placed with personal ambition, that would be a kind of oxymoron. Yet how much of this is true? This requires a psychological scrutiny as well.

The needs of others can definitely drive us to do something and that would be more of a cause or mission rather than ambition. A mission is stronger than personal ambition and a person with mission is usually driven by a conviction that he or she is chosen to do something and no one else can undertake the task. Usually a mission is about a higher purpose like helping a particular group of individuals or spreading a message or simply imparting knowledge or eradicating suffering. A mission in life is very similar to a psychological delusion and a person fired with a mission just like a deluded individual feels that he has been chosen or simply unique and has to complete his real purpose in life. However missions are real and cannot be explained completely with existing psychological theories. Mission is definitely the strongest of psychological traits and a person with a mission cannot be changed in any way and that is why all leaders are very strong in their approach towards what they simply have to do. Although evolutionary psychology like evolutionary biology has delved into the deeper secrets of altruistic behavior in humans, the development of mission has not been explained by psychology adequately.

So, altruism can be of two types – the general altruistic behavior as manifested through simple philanthropy or helping others in daily life and the specific altruistic behavior as manifested through having a specific cause or purpose or definite mission in life.

The first type of altruism is seen in nearly all of us, we all believe in the philosophy of giving, in helping people who are in need and this is reflected in all spheres of life from donating a small amount online or giving a substantial part of your salary to charity or simply helping an old frail woman cross the street when you are in a hurry.

The second type of altruism would be the mission or purpose that I’ve been talking about. It is specific and the individual is driven to fulfill the ultimate purpose of his or her life. The first type of altruism is found in all of us, the second type is found in only a few of us. It is possible to draw out a psychology for both these type of altruistic manifestations.

Biologically altruism is the sacrifice of the reproductive capacity or genetic transmission of a species to help the growth of another. This would be completely against Darwinian evolution as instead of helping one’s own species biological altruism is about helping the growth and survival of other species. So this sort of behavior places animals at reproductive disadvantage and reduces chances of producing a higher number of offspring. There are numerous examples of altruistic behavior among animals like vervet monkeys give out alarm calls whenever they sense the appearance of predators although this way they risk their own lives, among birds there are numerous helper birds that protect young ones of a different species and in the insect colonies like bees, worker bees remain sterile to help the reproductive process of the queen bee. One way the altruistic motives can be dismissed by suggesting that the vervet monkeys are simply reflexive and show spontaneous behavior of fear by giving out alarm calls or that the birds and bees simply maintain their self interest by showing an external altruistic behavior. This sort of explanation would be controversial at least when we try to extrapolate and suggest that humans are also philanthropic and altruistic in general because internally they want something in return and that they are finally or ultimately attending to their own self interest. Is there anything as absolutely selfless behavior? Do parents attend and take care of their young ones hoping that one day when they are too old their children will also take care of them? Do people give away their money to charity hoping that they will be honored? Of course many individuals these days donate anonymously and many would follow a cause without ever revealing their identities, do they have a reason that would be akin to self interest or is there something like absolutely selfless behavior? An anonymous donor would some day want people to know that he was the real donor. But then selfless behavior for the good of others can be explained and we all have in us a part that is selfless and wants to move beyond the confines of our own existence. Why?

Selflessness thus is just that, we want to be greater than what we are, we want to be philanthropic because we want to move beyond the traps of material possessions. The same feeling of selflessness which is found in all of us to a certain degree is also found in missionaries, spiritual leaders or even political leaders to a greater extent because selflessness is a defense against our own insignificance and our own mortality defined by material existence. Of course, I will not move into philosophy here, and sticking to psychology altruism is about a desire to be loved by others and a stage in which there is empathy. In strictly psychoanalytic terms ‘transference’ and ‘counter-transference’ are terms that define the relationship between the patient and the psychotherapist when one understands the feelings of the other. Although psychoanalyst Jung focused on a possible altruistic behavior in spirituality, he still suggested that self seeking may be present, yet according to Jung we seek a balance in energy systems. Considering this a little further, altruism, philanthropy or benevolence may be our unconscious desire to seek balance in ourselves and in the world.

Psychoanalysis in general would consider altruism as self fulfilling behavior although motivational psychology as discussed in the Psychology of Ambition, would suggest that altruism would be more compatible with the self-actualization stage of Maslow’s Theory of Hierarchy of Needs. To repeat briefly, Abraham Maslow developed his theory of hierarchy of needs in which he suggested that the highest needs of humans would be the self actualization needs that is present in all of us and suitably explains altruism.

Yet whether it is the need of a leader fired by a mission to help society or the need of a young man to participate in volunteering, altruism may still have roots in our unconscious needs to live in a better world, to find and develop a balanced society, to extend and expand ourselves to something greater than our own tiny existence. Altruism is still defined by our own needs for a greater or higher purpose in life. Then all this finally suggest that we help others for our own evolutionary advantage so even if altruism apparently looks altruistic, there may be deeper and unconscious egoistic truths that we cannot ignore. When we help and protect others, we ultimately feel protected. There may be nothing like absolute selflessness and even if such a thing exists, it wouldn’t be ultimately good for anyone.

Many people hear rumours about the fast, easy and excellent income that is possible with internet marketing. They get excited and jump on the bandwagon to start an online business themselves. Some pay a steep tuition fee and invest in workshops promising an easy system and website setup. Others embark on a never ending journey to ‘learn’ how to “do things”. Soon frustration sets in as results are not seen or slow. Eventually, a majority just decide that it was a mistake, just too hard, an expensive lesson or a mis-investment and drop out. There are many reasons for this but the deadliest are these 3.

Easy Money mind set. Many people do not know that making money; yes even internet marketing, takes effort. They have the delusion that the only ‘work’ required is to go to the bank to withdraw the money that they made. This cannot be any further from the truth!

Like all other businesses, internet marketing requires some ground work to be done even before launching. Research into the correct niche, setup of the proper website system, obtaining and organizing content and the continuous process of traffic generation just to name a few.

The Never Ending Research and Learning trap. This is another one of those ‘bumps’ that almost everyone who tries internet marketing will face. There is almost a guaranteed certainty that someone new to online marketing feels overwhelmed by the huge amount of knowledge and skill necessary to set things up. It is more than likely that people will attempt to learn every single detail before taking the leap to actually start the business.

Yes, it is true that research and learning is essential before starting up an online business. But at some point, you will need to take the necessary actions to actually do something and get the business running. The actions taken can be small and slow. But isn’t it better to go slow than to have no progress at all? The truth is that the learning will never end. You will pick up new ideas and skills as you go along.

Then there is the big one – Procrastination. This is the mother of all reasons that people fail! There are a whole lot more people who want to start an online business then we are aware of. Many of these people know exactly what needs to be done and probably even have the skills and know-how to do it. Unfortunately they wait and do nothing. Procrastination turbo charges all excuses that people have and creates a trap that very few can escape from.

Before starting the business, ask yourself what are the real reasons that you want to do it? If the reasons are not clear, then there is no drive to get the momentum you need to make any progress. Once you know the reasons, it makes it easy to gauge how badly you want to succeed in internet marketing. This in turn helps you to set goals that will pave the way to a successful online business. From here, you can even go a step further by often reminding yourself of the very reasons you are in the internet business. Some examples are to use the computer’s desktop wallpaper, paste pictures or notes on the dressing mirror, anything… as long as you see it often.

The reality is that there are thousands of reasons people give for their failure in internet marketing. These are nothing more than excuses. Very often whatever the excuse, it is a subset of the 3 deadly ‘sins’ in internet marketing as discussed above. Now that you know it, remind yourself every time you find yourself wondering off your path in your journey. Train yourself to be aware and you would have moved that much closer to a successful internet business.

Cyberstalking occurs more often with females as the victim , although that is gradually changing more males are being cyber-stalked and harassed more frequently by women than ever. Like the case of Canadian Model Ana Petroli who was arrested for stalking and harassing photographer Albert Besso. Petroli faces a conviction up to one-year. The psychological profile of the delusional ones reveal a sophisticated computer literate, an emotionally disturbed person who seeks attention and challenges in cyberspace and becomes obsessed with someone met in a blog or an cyber community. The internet allows to hide the stalker real personality and altered his self-image. If rejected, may launch a campaign of cyberspace attacks.

Albert Besso met Ana Petroli in “MySpace” under the name of Ana Garcia, after two months of communicating through email, finally they met in person. During that time, Ana Petroli installed a software in Besso’s computer to record his keystrokes and get his passwords and accessed his phone records and e-mail accounts.

At the beginning Ana Petroli was overly nice but after she felt rejected, she launched a campaign of harassment by sending from Besso’s email accounts, nude photos of Besso’s girlfriend to co-workers, friends and family and by placing Besso’s information in gay chat-rooms, Besso would get random calls from strangers, that later would show up to his door step. They present similar characteristics which include the fact that the majority are likely to have prior drug abuse and psychiatric history. In 2006 Petroli was diagnosed with schizophrenia with history of mild cyberstalking, but she was never charged. Her family believe she had stopped taking her medication and lived in a world composed of part delusion and part reality which she was unable to differentiate. They exhibit a consistent pattern of behavior and choices, Petroli’s victims were international photographers in committed relationships. For Petroli if a man has already been chosen as a suitable partner, he has indicated that he is faithful and willing to have a long term relationship. For Petroli, these were very desirable qualities in a man.

Cyberstalking can have a devastating effect on victim’s lives. At the moment they are made to feel guilty and question themselves if it’s their fault, and in some other cases, victims fall into deep depression, and post traumatic stress disorder. Targets of the delusional stalker are likely to be sucked in to this world and start to have doubts about their own sanity, especially if the stalker is smart.

For more than 7 months Besso didn’t know the origin of the attacks. “I felt hopeless, it drove me crazy”, Besso said.

Albert Besso life’s was very affected by Petroli’s attacks, he ended his long term relationship with his girlfriend, he lost his job and dropped from school. A conviction is rare for harassment involving a woman with no previous criminal record. But the judge said “the cyberstalking in this case had very serious effects which were just as damaging as a physical assault”.

The Pearl That Broke Its Shell is Nadia Hashimi’s first work of fiction. Her fiction mostly portrays relationships and plight of women in war-struck Afghanistan. The Pearl That Broke Its Shell is a story of two young women who undergo various feats to overcome the tremendous challenges thrown in their face by their respective destinies. Though both of them are centuries apart in time, they are both forced to live a part of their lives posing as boy/man. The freedom that they tasted in the garb of opposite gender is something they could not have had experienced as a woman. This is a story of Rahima or Rahim-the bacha posh and Shekiba or Shekib – the woman-man guard of the royal palace.

Rahima is second of four sisters in family of a drug-addict father who works for a war-lord in a war-struck Afghanistan. She is made to pose as bacha-posh, a boy, as her mother is not able to bear a son. The arrangement works well for everybody as Rahim, the bacha posh, helps her mother with the house-hold chores and keeps her father happy with the delusion of having a son. But this fairy-tale comes to an abrupt end when the war-lord for whom Rahima’s father works offers to marry Rahima. Her sister, Parwin, is also married to a cousin of the war-lord. Though the sisters live only a wall apart in their new homes, they hardly get to see each other while they struggle in their married lives.

When Rahima’s aunt tells the girls about Shekiba, their great great grandmother who has had an equally challenging life many centuries ago, Rahima draws inspiration from the story of her. Shekiba who had half of her face disfigured due to an accident in her childhood, is abhorred by everybody around her. She is known to bring bad luck. But her life takes a turn when she land’s up in the royal palace. She dresses up as a man and guards the harem of King’s mistresses. She feels free to walk about in pants and without the chador( the head scarf) but this freedom comes with a price.

Though Rahima and Shekiba’s stories are depicted in different times, beautiful narration by the author ensures that the reader is smoothly transported between the eras and does not feel lost. One might feel sympathetic about these women but also praises their courage and perseverance. The subtle message that the plight of women in Afghanistan has not changed much over the centuries is not lost.

Having read two of Hashimi’s novels, it’s easy to be assured that you will never be disappointed with her books. Reading the tales of hardships portrayed in her books sitting in a comfortable room makes you grateful for what you have. But you are also certain of change and progress by the optimism scattered in the stories. Rahima and Shekiba story of adversities and hope certainly deserves to be read.

Now that Christmas is past and were quickly moving into the new year, once again, many people over did it with their holiday spending. I know it’s easy to do when you have available credit on your credit cards. I have found myself many times being a victim of that kick the can down the road financial policy for my home. Until recently, I have now tried to be more realistic with the wife and kids letting them know that we should be practical in our gift giving. I mean who really needs a 70 inch big screen TV to watch football on? Corporate America has done a good job blurring the lines between our needs and our wants. What that is that children and young adults of today are growing up under a delusion that all this is for real. The only thing that is real, is those bills that come in the mail at the end of the month that we can’t afford. Many people are trying to keep their credit rating high so they can get more credit and go deeper in debt just to keep up the appearance that everything is just fine.

Recently, a study came out showing that the majority of Americans were three weeks away from filing bankruptcy. It’s no surprise to find out this fact when we see that the income to debt ratio of the average American is now at 154%. The only reason the bankruptcy filing numbers have continued to decline is banks are allowing these people to leverage themselves further. The average American in 2008 had approximately $4000 in credit card debt. At the end of 2013, that number had climbed to just about $16,000. During the same timeframe the median income per household has also declined by $4000 per year. This is nothing more than a recipe for individuals having unsustainable debt that ends up in a bankruptcy filing.

Let’s face it, the citizens are broken so is the government. The US debt has now surpassed 105% of GDP and no one seems to care. Instead, Congress is asking for the debt ceiling to be raised so we could be 120% of the GDP I guess. I think our politicians are completely out of touch and as they continue to make bad Decisions Main St., America continues to suffer. In 2010, the US saw a record number of individuals filing bankruptcy to the tune of 1.6 million. Although that number has now declined to 1.1 million, many are predicting new records to be set over the next couple years. Recently it was reported that there were over 5 million homes in the US in some stage of foreclosure. The news continues to report that real estate was now recovering and everything is better. I guess the news reporter didn’t read all the statistics that are important to make that statement. Only time will tell whether this Keynesian form of government will fail or work for the first time in history. I’m putting my money on failure. Although there is only so much we can do to change our government, we can’t change the way we live and try to get back on the road to becoming debt-free even if it means filing bankruptcy.

Ever visit a Newborn Nursery? Row after row of newborn babies is wrapped in similar blankets and tiny caps; Those who arrived healthy are placed in identical clear containers allowing the staff to quickly assess their needs. Some are quietly resting, diligently sucking their thumbs while others are clearly restless, uncomfortable and unhappy. Could there be more to what we witness as we stare at the babies than a wet diaper and a desire for food?

The newborn infant has arrived with everything the adult develops, including the awareness of a welcoming atmosphere. It is their first assessment of life in this new consciousness. Their innate instantly reads the energy around the birth sensing welcome relief, anxiety and even fear. Before the mother ever holds her baby it is very likely the child already knows what she is feeling about this arrival. That first determination remains in place, for many a lifetime, or until something significant develops that explains why emotions beside love and being welcome were perceived. The newborn has arrived without filters and delusion and receives an accurate interpretation of the emotions on their arrival.

The child who is welcomed, regardless of challenges and difficulties as they grow into childhood and adulthood never doubts that initial impression of being loved. This is the best beginning to allow a child to develop a high, balanced self-worth. They can stand tall or fall and know they are still loved and will be protected. They have little to fear and can accept responsibility for their actions, even when a bad choice has misdirected their actions. They can say, "I'm sorry" and mean it because they understand love and how to give and receive it. When an adult with their self-esteem at half-mast arrives in the presence of a child with a high, balanced self-esteem watch the child's reaction. "What's wrong with you, why do you act like that?" It is the difference in perception as two different kinds of consciousness collide. Healthy, balanced children immediately recognize an adult that is not and perceive, even in youth, that something is amiss; because it is.

The newborn that arrives and receives the message of fear or being unwanted and unwelcome are not only helpless, they are battered on arrival with no defenses to protect their own psyche. It is very difficult to find value in oneself when the people around you see no value. This child will very likely spend a lifetime trying to prove their worth, feeling less than those around them, accepting abusive relationships and unable to accept love. They don't understand what it means. Children who are abused rarely hate the abuser, they hate themselves for being powerless, weak, and all the things the abuser said was wrong with them. Years of counseling may or may not alter their perception of who they are or can become.

The emotions around the birth experience are vital to the newborn child's perception of life. Every woman experiencing birth is empowered with the opportunity to set the course for her baby by finding something to welcome and be happy about, even if for a brief moment. Birth is the most profound experience in any life.

"So which is really your passion? Is it teaching or writing?", The school head asked me in a straightforward manner during my final interview with the panel. I paused for a while, smiled faintly, and paused again. Realistically, I could not give a concrete answer to such a crucial question.

"Both." I resolved to say, hoping that it would give a closure to my self-delusion and self-paranoia. "I can do both," I reiterated my answer.

And that was the prime reason why I did not get the much sought after academic faculty position in that prestigious school. Days later when I began to analyze the repercussions of my behavior, I realized I should have defended my teaching capabilities more than my writing inclinations in order to get hired. Incidentally, I was applying to teach academic subjects and not to write for a magazine after all.

The aforementioned scenario led me to a noted K to 12 school where I was destined to display both of my passions in life. Fate gave me permission to explore my oral and written skills and relay them to my students who can appreciate my causes and pursuits in the academic world. In handling senior high school students, I was able to merge the inexplicable wonders of mentoring and penning ideas for the school community.

I am often pressed for a hardcore explanation why I chose the teaching profession. And just like most teachers, I find it compelling to be direct about the underlying reason for being a teacher. Thus, sometimes I can be indirect about my approach to the orthodox query: WHY DID YOU BECOME A TEACHER?

If I throw the classic question at myself, I have a temporal attachment to the matter. "I teach because it is part of my mission to share knowledge and uphold values ​​to my students." But is that all there is to it?

If I delve deeper, I may mention why I had to forego other tempting job offers in the past and why I stuck with the teaching post. In the true schema of things, I have formed an unbreakable bond with my students, both from the past and the present, a kind of bond that makes me miss them when it is summer vacation and there is no noise lingering in the classrooms, and when there are empty chairs and desks during quarterly breaks. I begin to recall their camaraderie and foolish pranks. I teach because my students make me embrace the fact that a person's true happiness cannot be found on material wealth. Rather, my students make me aware of the awakening that in this life, you would be found unnecessarily soulless if you turn your back on your dire purpose in life.

Over the years, I have discovered and rediscovered the joys and pains of the teaching profession. There were times when I quit teaching, found a new lucrative profession, and then left again … only to return amidst the uncertainty of the situation. It has been a recurrent cycle of assurance and affirmation that I have been indeed been called and chosen to be a second mother, an elder sister and a best friend to my students. God led me to the teaching profession for a purpose. Dealing with my students has brought me much closer to my Maker because it is with my students that I experience the true meaning of companionship, generosity and above all, being entirely human.

Until when will I allow myself to teach? Maybe until my last breathing hour. And why am I writing this piece anyway? Because it by way of teaching that I can document the tremendous beauty and mystery of life in general.

The principles and practices of traditional Ashtanga Yoga Curriculum of sage Patanjali is great contribution for the development of the human resources based on the synchronization of the energies of the mind and body.
