Let’s be honest! Forget about the wheat farming! We know, that you know, that this is the most important question of all:

Whatever happened to that old tranquility we used to know? 

These are days  victory, so join me in shouting “Lootchie!” and

“Ba vartsch!”

  • Chris has a new designation: The mannish boy!
  • Feel free to use “Ba vartsch” whenever you need it! It’s a greeting, it’s an insult, it’s a curse, it says goodbye, too!
  • Today we begin a mini-series on communication!
  • Wizard School is coming up in April!
  • The Jacquins are coming to Toronto in May! Yes, we got both of them!
  • May Architecture of Hypnosis is still sold-out, but June dates are now announced!  June 24-18 in Toronto.
  • November 18-22 Architecture of Hypnosis is booking now!
  • Think Tank Word of the Day: Insincere
  •  Sincerity can be congruent…Watch out for the overly sincere detector!
  • Why does she care so much?
  • Shout “Ba vartsch!” and tell us what happens!
  •  Interpersonal and intrapersonal communication…
  • You MUST calibrate to be a good communicator!
  • You can’t see what you’re not looking for! – Derek Balmer
  •  Intercourse can be social, but still offensive to some!
  • Chris leads to the word “erection” and Mike shouts “Ba vartsch!”
  • Stress makes the processing of negatives more difficult…
  • Humans delete, generalize and distort all the time!
  • The Critical Faculty goes offline during profound stress!
  • Tell people what to do, rather than not to do…Be positive!
  • Double-binds present alternatives that can influence others…
  •  Presupposition implies something will happen…
  • Ecology and ethics first! Please be kind to people.
  • Keep adrenaline out of the equation! Make it data…
  • Emotional engagement causes temporary stupidity!
  • Men disengage so they don’t die of heart attack or stroke!

A word from our Sponsor – The Lawn Tree Blooms! Tonight on the Zapruder Film Network

  • Proxemics! Edward T. Hall – Ranges of human interaction…
  • Stranger range, social range, intimate range…
  • Let the other person pick the proxemics!
  • Don’t poke people in the sternum to make a point!
  • Remember to watch out for physical alignment too!
