How the world of work works...American-style
Tim knows I appreciate history, artifacts, learning from our past, connecting dots, and a good road trip to the mountains. So, we packed the hybrid with binoculars and walking shoes, a cooler of salad makings, thermoses brimming with great French Roast and fresh cool water. After an easy, nutritious breakfast we drove north up Ste Route 30 into the Adirondacks for an inspiring and soul-nourishing experience of the Blue Mountain Lake Museum.
A colorful "campus map" landscaped the network of walkways connecting a range of separate galleries and life-size dioramas that began with The Great Outdoors! This gives families an opportunity to pre-experience this time and space through immersion in Adirondack play and adventure.
As exposure to our natural outdoors began this tour, we were reminded palpably that Americans (both Native and Euro Pioneers) began building their lives by engaging nature the way we found it. Its what every successive generation has done, does do: engage the environment as we find it...hope we always engage it resourcefully, and ever more compassionately, wisely, conservatively.
We launched OUR day-long tour rushing onto WORK IN THE WOODS...an in depth exposure to the world of logging life through video, dioramas, audio and artifact. Spell-bound, awed, invigorated by Work In The Woods, two take-aways walked with us thereafter:
1. survival instinct, risk-taking, perseverance and ingenuity combine within, between and among individuals, couples, families, towns, and landscapes to formulate social interdependence which builds a government that serves further shared needs.
2. one enterprising individual, couple, family, and town engaged in the art and work of livelihood generates opportunity for others to respond in kind: one work begets many other supportive, complementary, and entirely opposing work forms. People build lives through work we create ...for ourselves and for other people.
Mitt Romney would appreciate the Blue Mountain Lake Museum. He would recognize the microcosm of relationship among People-Enterprise-Government. I suspect that every visitor to the Blue Mountain Lake Museum leaves awed by the inherent truth experienced, "gets it."
People generate livelihood, not government. Government is an afterthought we create to serve our shared needs later down the road when we decide the time has come for us to formalize the tacit agreed upon rules we decide best guide our enterprise. Barack Obama needs to experience the inherent truth that cannot be overlooked at Blue Mountain Lake Museum.
Through art, the final galleries entitled "A Peopled Wilderness" summarizes our story of the flourishing northwestern United States, an infrastructure of our networking past -built through the hard work and entrepreneurial spirit of an enterprising, pioneering free people.

Goes to show how emotional needs can UNCONSCIOUSLY shape our career direction and specific efforts
In July 14th's LUNCH ALERT, Dick Morris explains how the oppressed masses-thinking of revolutionary France (literally and figuratively starving for freedom from Royal Rule) aligns with Obama's way of thinking -which is I discovered is "sourced" by the anti-colonialist Dreams From My Father (Barack's memoir). It was first published in 1995, then of course re-published coinciding with the opportunity he was given to get recognized through addressing the Democrat Convention in 2004.
I borrowed Dreams From My Father (library loan) to get a direct look into Barack Obama's thinking process ... and his world view -one that clearly drove his future...and temporarily ours while he holds office as president. I wish I had read it before I voted for him in 2008. Lots of "Independents" were duped. He presented himself well. And I suspect he was sincere about wanting to change America; we just didn't know HOW, nor WHY. He said he wanted to give us transparent government proceedings, end special interest groups lobbying the President/Congress, fix the economy, yada, yada, yada.
We have seen, heard, experienced how those goals went by the wayside. I think that before he got into office, he thought he would do those things. Giving him the benefit of doubt is fair enough re his earliest promises. I remember taking a couple of hours to give detail in the survey of prior voters to moveon.org when they asked after one year in office, how I thought Barack was doing. Not good, thought I. I wrote how disappointed I'd become with his lack of doing what he said he'd do in each issue outlined. But I still trusted in the campaign image he had presented us...I thought he really just needed help. Which he did. I mailed my thoughtfully detailed feedback. No change. No more hope.
If I'd read his autobiography, I would have understood how easily hoodwinked he could become if those behind the scenes ever got their hands on him. He had the profile of someone who could easily become a PUPPET of an "elite": sense of alienation, of not getting his fair share from life, loving his parents but VERY disappointed in the life they fashioned around him -or so it seems to most children (at least in early years...and longer if not corrected/updated in our identity-firming stage) that parents have the power of God. He flavors accounts of his father with a persistent social/civic nobleness unrecognized, unharvested -this in fact became what toward the end of the book he calls his "inheritance."
And the book is clearly about his search for connection with his father. Barack's subtitle is "A Story of Race and Inheritance." And unfortunately Barack's father's life struggle was orders of magnitude more impoverished growing up as he did in 20th century Kenya. That is REAL poverty. I ask us to look at the mess made when someone else's dreams derived from authentic circumstances are transported from an earlier time in a very different place AND MAPPED ACROSS SIGNIFICANT;Y DIFFERENT CULTURES, TIMES, PLACES. Barack's father was truly searching for HIS WAY to strike out against truly primitive circumstance and rise up to initiate-nourish-generate an honorable life, for himself and for others in the same or worse circumstance.
Poverty in Kenya does not equal poverty in America. The beginning of the Twentieth Century does not equal the end of the same century. African parameters in Africa does not equal African-American parameters in America. If we restrict ourselves to claiming life hasn't changed, we are doomed to relive our old wounds and keep past brokenness alive. (This is the problem with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton...when others lead us into temptation to take any past with us into the future, then we allow the past to be our future (Eckhart Tolle: A NEW EARTH).
Barack's Psychological Themes: divorced family depression, adolescent ennui, boy's identity search for father figures, sense of separation in reconstituted family, reliance on self=pervasive sadness and alienation, exhuberance when hope of being saved activated by being recognized, adolescent attribution confusion (he attributes his family/personal suffering to his bi-racialness. He desperately and pervasively wanted his family together under one roof in Kenya (p.342-3).
Barack identified strongly with his father, adopting full throttle his father's race-flavored "anti-colonialist" pushing-back as well as surrogate fathers (more on Marxist surrogates in a later blog) adopted along the way. His emotional bonding to these men show up in beliefs we see manifested in his current words and policy-pushing: redistribution of wealth, social justice means everyone has same, depressed VOICE, separation, division, racial castes, victim thinking, rpetititious use of loaded vocabulary: poverty, marginalized, fair-share, "help."
Referring to his name-sake father stuck in Nairobi, he writes (p.420),"Barack saw that he might end up working as a clerk for these men for the rest of his life. Then, good fortune struck, in the form of two American women."
His father soon after receiving their abiding help, dropped his African wife and two children off with relatives and left for America -where his father met and married Ann, his mother. (Pattern re son: Michelle Robinson who worked under Valarie Jarrett when they met and Barack was going nowhere on his own efforts, at least not as fast as he wished and hoped. Valarie was a very wealthy (old money) source of high connections not only in Chicago, but internationally through her elite family network.
Hmmmm, Valarie is his top advisor now. And they dumped Oprah? What was he thinking??? What is he thinking...

Amazing Sea Crossed Effectively through Achievement Thinking
The Psychology of Achievement Classic by Brian Tracy
Palladio International Enterprise (PIE) begins our first world-wide study of achievement thinking on Valentine's Day, 2012! We are thrilled to share this opportunity among each and every small or large community planet-wise. Professor BonTempo has Upper School Armory students filling 100-pack mailers with HealthyCommunities-Healthy Youth "mood" pencils for the first 100 academies who register online by Friday, January 27th. This first-time concerted effort to nourish and develop common ground knowledge is initiated by our recently-founded Utica Campus (UC) in the Mohawk Valley of central New York.
Founders of Palladio International Enterprise (our renowned Rev. & Dr. Palladio) joined Utica's pioneering pod of students, global families, and representative adults (formerly of Manhattan's Central Park ground-breakers) one year post-migration. Weekly monitoring of UC's rates of accomplishment, in the eight key arenas, inspired founders to plan a six month residency in Utica. They intended to conduct necessary and sufficient on-site inquiry -as well as work side by side with the pioneers who continue expanded efforts to establish roots, secure Global Family Homes, activate Academies, and sustain Market Place Connections. While the Utica Campus cannot offer on-site tours at this time, Nurse Kittle from Manhattan's Delacorte Campus hosts a two hour tour of clinic homes and classrooms practiced in achievement thinking connections. Tour schedules are available online: http://delacortespiritschool.blogspot.com/.
The UC pioneers attribute their extraordinary rate of successful engagement to knowledge and know-how gained across the year from absolute commitment to practicing the recommended ways of achievement thinking. Their dialogue model for achieving community consensus further supported the integration of knowledge and know-how. Their steadfast reliance on principle to unpack any issue and decide any action further promoted the community's use of healthy and higher order psycho-social dynamics.
Council leaders report that the key to extraordinary accomplishments and on-going peace of mind resulted from adhering to these principled practices in each and every communication and personal thought. Throughout their first year, pioneers simply allowed and affirmed that their focus and interactions were easily guided by the content of Brian's 6 part workshop on discs. Visit the Utica Campus On-line to further explore recorded artifacts (videos, data, documents, and blog posts).
The Utica team, later encouraged by the founders-in-residence (along with members of the International Development Council subsequently also "in-residence") approach the readiness mark of February 14th. They will then "cyber-guide" campuses throughout the world in what they have identified to date as their best practices. All parents, teachers, administrators, advisers, developers, researchers, and council guides prepare to integrate contents of achievement thinking into our diverse curricula over the next three weeks. Our "Winter" focus on content and dialogue will be followed this Summer by a series of "know-how development" mentorships, internships, on-site theatre groups, as well as electronic streaming and modeling opportunities.
All Palladio International Enterprise adults and high school students may currently preview achievement thinking content by streaming UC's introduction to Brian's beginning first of six workshops: The Roots of Self-Esteem
So grab another like-minded soul, pour yourselves each a cup of PIE's famous "HonesTea," settle in front of a blazing fire, and open your minds to highlights of achievement thinking!
