Hi Niel,

1/1/07 Here are the files for download, more or less in order of priority. Everything in this mish mash is here for a reason. Hopefully the explanations below are adequate.

I am very open to out-of-the-box ideas and brainstorming as to how to get on the radar and make serious $$$. Initially, that could be far more important that the material itself, cause it's fundamental, it's strategy.


ADD: Okay... Here's the kind of material I'd present of a "special interest" type, on ADD. Has a bit for the general public of a "consciousness raising" nature, and a bit for people who are experiencing ADD and in a crisisy place. Definitely stuff that I could use in presentations!

1/04's Vom Fest - One hour of almost unedited writing, the purgative prescribed by the good Doctor Lieberman. Goofy stuff on drugs, and a stab at ADD and relationships with no effort to sound professional.

Hoo boy. Start with the last of the three bits below.

The first one is very educational, but it is not at all in a form that I would present. But it might make a big difference in how you think about what I do. Nonetheless, it's just there for you to scan and familiarize yourself with the core ideas of Shimmering from a scholarly perspective. It's pretty long, and you're pretty expensive, if you catch my drift. Don't get carried away or edit it.

The second part is again just for orientation, it is guidelines for using my semi-famous bilateral sound, UpLevel.

But the THIRD part is definitely targeting the general public, I'm really curious how you react to that and what you'd do to it. It's very short, just a quick orientation that is in a booklet that goes out with the recordings. I really don't know how radical I should get with angling or re-angling, as in should I rip it up and start from a totally different perspective...

Again, for familiarization, text about UpLevel. Good example of marketing text I use.

To see how my current marketing looks (regarding my sounds), you might want to take a look at Psych Innovations Store, but at this point it would just be to see how it can function as an asset.

I really need to rework my web presence for better marketability for both my practice and public speaking, but the two best assets related to those are my private practice page Yourell.com, and my bio page/contact center. But it's too soon to look at actually reworking any of this marketing text, I'd think. Just something to be aware of and maybe get a visual take on at this point.



Now this is pretty important stuff, but I think it's mainly for you to look over and let percolate for the moment, because you will receive the audio demo album that demonstrates basically what it will be like as a product, and because you'll need to work with my other stuff and get tight with the core ideas before you can be very intuitive with actually attacking this kind of material...or would you?

What's important about this text is especially, how do I best sell the recordings it is part of, and, of course, actually improving the text--especially the very first part--to motivate people to use it.

Beyond Your Wildest Potentials! Serious!

Here is material from the book I'd like to write this lifetime. This file is a collection of hippy trippy rants from the guru of the Church of Zero and the Major Underachiever Movement. It's basically a satire of metaphysics, that is intended to make people really want to believe that they really could "jump paraverses" into a better parallel universe.

It's long, , and I'm not prepared to actually do anything with this material yet. Maybe for starters just read the section about healing (use your finder for "allergy"). And, when time permits and if you feel it would help me improve my humor, attack that section only so I can see what you'd do to it???

But I must admit, sometimes I think it would be a fun alter ego to have for some kind of New Age humor (like for Science of Mind churches and New Age expos) but that also has a message that comes across. Either that or start a new church, because people will believe anything. Look at Scientology.

More Major Underachiever stuff, short, this time. Written by one of the researchers who has a way over-intellectualized fling with an Indian cowboy, in the interest of stress management and science. A two-fer! It's a very different tone, so worth reading to get more of my writing scope. The writing is better, I think.

MORE Why is this here? To give more of a feel for my scope, I guess. There's even a piece of Tom Lehrer-style singable poetry here. And this weird, fictional encounter with a bizarre therapy client.
