Ed Hudgins Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 Judith – I’m not addressing directly the various ways for evaluating personalities—Myers-Briggs, for example. But I am asking about how we can be aware of our own proclivities and, when they don’t contribute to our well-being, how we can and should deal with them or change them. In part this is what Nathaniel Branden’s enterprise has been all about. As he puts it, he wants to develop a technology in psychology to help us get from where we are in our lives to where we want to be.I’m dealing with the matters at a somewhat more philosophical level in light of the new thinking and discoveries about how the mind works and where we’re free to think and act. I’m integrating this into an understanding of ethics in terms of our various capacities.Interesting work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now working on telekinesis, but can't quite get things going.Did you know Werner did his best to avoid Nathaniel Branden in the way-back-then?--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never did. But They were to appear together in a public forum, as I understood it at the time, and when Werner heard he was to appear with NB he cancelled. Just a story, but the ESTers were doing their best to cover up what they were really all about--control and money--and in the late 70s and early 80s Nathaniel was at the top of his game qua psychology. It was also the time NB was doing his Intensives, a few of which I attended in NYC, one in LA and the very, very first in Washington D.C., January or early February 1977. In late March he lost his wife, Patrecia, to a drowning accident, and went through a solid year of hell while continuing to work.--Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting.AdamIn Rosenblume's (aka Erhardt's) case, what progress? What did he really do. He forced people to stay in a room so they shit and pissed in their pants and he charged them money for it.Ba'al Chatzaf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
