Thinking in a Wuh Lax World - The Art of Long Range Thought in Britain

In my first book, Wuh Lax and the Cosmic Lantern, my intent was to address a book on the processes of thinking and learning that was appropriate for younger thinkers. At the same time, I was intent on giving them survival techniques were they to understand what the book was all about. The Wuh Lax series is about thinking and surviving in a world that is much stranger than nature alone would have us think. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, if nature would have its way, we would die prematurely and just as certainly as the demise of the Roman Empire, which is the focus of the Wuh Lax series.

What the books about Wuh tell you is that while nature may have designs on your premature death should you not learn how to think, nature itself will die prematurely if the human species does not intervene within its own death process. The book is thus about the survival of the earth and its characters are thrown into the deep end of steering a course of survival for future generations as nature throws its worse at them.

In a very real sense, it is a true story while being an expression of my own psychological fantasy. It is based on an amazing amount of reading into psychology from the age of seven, in Kincardine, Ontario. I feel I know Jung, Freud and Adler like old friends. It is our psychological evolution that will give earth a chance of survival, but only a chance. As a betting person, one would be advised to place a bet for mankind's premature death as nature, the way we know it, itself dies prematurely. It would seem that nature is committing suicide and we are to die along with it.

On a more positive note, what has amazed me is the profound interest in MJ Harper's book, The History of Britain Revealed. Whether this has led to book sales for him is any one's guess, but there is a definite awareness that most English speakers have not really taken the time to think very deeply about the origins of the English language, or the culture. I love Harper's book because it demonstrates what is necessary in order to survive in this world of mass deception.

We British mostly think that the origins of our amazing language have come within two thousand or more years. Along with MJ Harper, I must say that this is utter hogwash, despite readers saying they would pray for Harper's soul. I mean, one has only to examine some of the mathematical feats, pathways, religious centers, stone or metal work created in the periods up to thousands of years before the Romans castrated Europe.

Climate change seems to have brought down the Roman Empire, but I would guess that it was economics that really put the screw in and tightened down the box, much the same as can happen to any community that has not really learned how to think. So this is why I come back to the period before Rome killed off early Britain, killed off societies in which thought was in advance of action despite what some of our illustrious historians would have us think, those that see history as continuous blood and gore. The early Britons survived Rome, but only just, and their story needs to be told. The anglo-saxons are only a very small part of the real story of Brtain that will unfold in years ahead as the archaeologists do their work.

No! Much of early British history was about love and cooperation, about community and sharing, about enjoying nature while at the same time controlling the death process inside human nature, the disease that killed the Romans and paved the way for misery, again despite what those wonderful historians are likely to tell us. Those historians that need to devote more time to thinking along the lines that MJ Harper has achieved. Well done Harper!

The Natural Laws of Survival by Thinking before Doing

So much doing is done without thinking. Those that do without thinking are behaving naturally, and nature has its own designs for them. You will statistically have a better chance of surviving if you learn how to think the DeBono way and the Anne Schaef way. What Anne Schaef described as 'stinking thinking' is what most people do. Now I'm being rude! I am sorry, but its only to get you to think, but not stink.

Stinking thinking is the way that alcoholics think. The addicted person thinks in a way that leads to premature death. Nature actually facilitates in premature death. It is part of nature that many should die before their time, so that natural processes dominate natural worlds. When you do not think, even though you have intelligence, you are letting nature run its course and you will die prematurely. Its all very natural. Just look at Africa!

I would like to help you survive to full age and beyond. To survive you need to learn how to think and you should read the books by DeBono and Anne Schaef. In future blogs, I will explain some of the techniques of thinking, but I really do want you to read the books by DeBono and Schaef. They may save your life. You have been forwarned and that is all I wish to do in this blog page.

Deception as the Nature of Nature

Ok! I have done the preliminaries and its time to get to the core of my ideas about thinking as the way to defend yourself in a world of deception.

Pardon! Did you say that you already knew that anyways and that I was making an ass of myself by telling you something that you already knew? Well, if you think that way, and you have already thoroughly digested DeBono's book and Anne Schaef's books, then you are excused and I apologize. Its good to see so many readers who are ninety years plus around my coffee table, and so well versed.

What I will begin doing is explaining why for most people and relationships things go seriously wrong and as a result people die prematurely or the relationship dies prematurely. I once worked for Barclays Bank alongside the money room, and incidentally, not far from the bullion room. I once worked for the IMF, which will hopefully become the central bank of central banks, because the world needs one. This is to set the stage of where I observed the process of Wooooooh's law first hand.

Let me give an example of the way that nature works in financial circles to kill a nation. Argentina is probably a good example where people forgot to think, or never learned how to think. What happened to Argentina is that it's exchange rate plummeted and there were riots in the streets and bankruptcies everywhere. Or maybe I should select Mexico, or maybe Thailand, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia, and now Europe, the EEC, as my examples.

My law, Wooooooh's law, is that "nature acts naturally to kill you off prematurely if you don't learn how to think." What nature does, we can see all around us, everyday and everywhere. Nature sets traps and then springs them on the unsuspecting. Nature ends life prematurely for most living creatures and relationships through deceptions that are part of its feeding process. Nature eats and creatures survive or they are eaten. This is not evolution, nor Darwinism, nor survival of the fittest. It is about thinking, not intelligence. You cannot say Europe is not intelligent, nor that the British are not intelligent, or that Argentina, and the Asian countries are not intelligent because they are intelligent. The problem is not intelligence but whether their leadership in critical areas has learned how to think about survival things.

My thesis is that they have not and that Wooooooh's law applies.

Do you think that the leaderships of China has learned how to think and that is why there are so many Chinese? Well, at least, up until 2008.

Edward DeBono's Thinking Course as a Start to Self Defense

Edward DeBono wrote a book entitled Thinking Course. The material on that course was presented on BBC television. Many consider that DeBono invented 'lateral thinking.' His book is a must from my coffee table readers. I won't tell you or point to a place where you can get the book because I am angry with Amazon right now. If you don't have the book, its best that you get off your ass this lunch time. Take a walk to your nearest physical bookstore and buy the book, or a least order it. This will be good for you as you will exercise those leg muscles and get rid of a few toxins.

My preference would be Waterstones in the UK, Chapters in Canada, or Borders in USA and around the world because you can probably get a Starbucks coffee as well. And, if you are lucky you may be able to get a snack that is wheat free, and consequently less costly than wheat and better for your arteries, hopefully! I bought the book at an Oxfam store for £2 and had enough left over for £2 of fair trade dark 72 percent cocao chocolate. So Burt, I did not forget you, and don't make a comment on my blog that I forgot the chocolate.

A Natural Deception as the Way of Nature

See my earlier blog, if you have not already done so. I apologize to those that got the shortened version of this particular blog by email. I have done this deliberately to illustrate a point. The point is that if you do not think, but just react to things around you, then you will be deceived. I refer to this as nature's oldest game. Yes! It is in the nature of nature that creatures of nature feed off each other.

You are never free of this process whereby others feed off you, and if you do not learn how to think, no matter what your intelligence is, you will die prematurely, moreover, the relationships that you do not think about will die prematurely. By this I mean your marriage, your job, your contracts in business, your mortgage. All and any of your natural relationships with people and with creations of nature. It is imperative that you therefore learn how to think, and that you actually practice the art of thinking. That's what this blogspot is all about. Its about teaching people how to think. Not what to think, but to get them engaged in the process of thinking the deBono and Anne Schaef way.

For those that don't know about Anne Schaef, let me say that she worked with the problems of the inner city where she saw first hand the processes of premature death, the results of addiction. What she realized is that society is an addict and the people making up society tend to be addicts, not all people, but most. This, she researched, led to their premature death. It will lead to your premature death if you do not begin to understand natures oldest trick of deception.

Take a cup of coffee. Take a deep breath and register to this blog if you have not already done so. It may save your life. It may save you from premature death.

The Nightmare that Nature Sets Out for its Latest Victims

As I mentioned in an earlier blog, nature is not what it seems to be. Almost always nature will attract you to your premature death, if you do not learn how to think. It is in the nature of things that natural relationships fail to fulfil the original intentions of all the parties entering into those natural relationships. This leads to a premature ending of those relationships if both parties do not have the ability to think, or choose not to think deeply enough about their relationships with natural forces.

I have come to this conclusion after seeing a host of relationships fail and after reading the insightful words of DeBono on thinking, and Anne Schaef on addictive processes and premature death. Together these authors show me, and hopefully you as well, if you continue reading my blogs that you are in danger and you probably do not know it. It is in the nature of nature to lead you to your premature death.

Nature has a night mare in store for you, unless you learn how to think. This is what I am telling you. You can ignor my words, but if you do, you had better make sure that you read those of deBono and Anne Schaef instead. This is not something that you will read elsewhere, at least I don't think so. I am splitting this blog because I want to know whether my readers are following me because for the one's that don't then I am wasting my time. My link to see if you are following me.

The Hidden Nature of Nature and Why We Perish too Soon

In his book on thinking techniques Thinking Course, De Bono tries to get his students to think. That seems obvious, but what people don't realize is that nature itself is a thinking machine and if people don't think, then nature thinks for them and most often this leads to premature death. Anne Schaef in her books on addictive processes says that addiction almost always from its nature leads to premature death. Now you ask yourself what is Arthur trying to tell me in this blog? What does he want to warn me about? What must I do to avoid premature death?

Yes! I am warning you that intelligence is not enough for survival. One needs to also be able to think, and without the ability to think, you and your relationships will almost certainly die prematurely. It is nature's way. It is nature's way to have marriages break down. It is nature's way to be deceived. It is nature's way for relationships to evolve in such a way that one party feeds on the other and the other dies prematurely.

Dominance within a relationship is nature's way. If as a human being you don't learn how to think, you will almost certainly be dominated and die prematurely. That is why it is imperative for you to take your cup of coffee and read what I am saying and then begin use DeBono's methods of thinking. It may save your life and it may help you avoid premature death. It most certainly will help your relationships with all other entities survive. Nature attracts its victims and then devours them. It is nature's oldest trick. Watch this blogspot for more to come.

YOU HAVE REACHED WOOH'S STREAM
The Internet User's Best Kept Secret

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
