Hubble and Humbling
Posted On Sep 11 2008I talk about perspective often in my letters to you. A picture is worth 1000 words. Music helps, too. This lovely 6:13 minute film by NASA is beautiful and humbling, in a good way. http://tinyurl.com/56uuv6 Enjoy, William P.S. Simply Serene – Four Amazingly Powerful Ways to Be Instantly Alert and at Peace will serve you well if you want some guaranteed ways to become present.

Oh, I See Your Problem
Posted On Sep 3 2008“Oh, I see your problem,” Zen Master says, “The trouble you have is that you think you have time.” Woof! Who’s the “you” Zen Master addresses? To which “you” does the master refer? It’s not your Buddha mind, now, is it? It’s not the wise inner sage. It’s your personality, your ego identity, your ego mind. Your ego has a couple of jobs, at least. One: Always be right. Justify if you need. Be delusional if you need. Be right by being wrong if you need. Just be right. Two: Keep the knowledge of your certain mortality at bay. I …
The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian
Posted On Aug 27 2008The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian By Sherman Alexie Aimed at young people, Grades 7-10, I recommend this book for everyone from age 12 up. If I were king of the universe, I’d require it. (http://tinyurl.com/5oqryr) At times, it’s laugh out loud funny, inspiring, tragic, while revealing of the inner workings and deep poverty of an Indian reservation in the late 20th C in Western Washington State. Amazingly, Alexie tells the story of Arnold Spirit and his journey to leave the reservation and leave poverty without being sentimental, maudlin, or blaming. As a white folk, I am grateful …

How Optical Illusions Help You Eat Well
Posted On Jul 31 2008How can air in food make you more satisfied – make you eat less? How can it curb a tendency to be fat, or reverse a trend? Can it? Turns out – yes. Feed a hungry college student a half glass full of smoothie and they will eat 20% more at lunch ½ later than the college student who drinks the SAME smoothie only whipped until it swells to a full glass with air. Not only that, but the ones that eat the airy smoothie don’t make it up at their next meal. My brother, John, and …
How Do You Mix Ho’oponopono with Tolle?
Posted On Jul 8 2008Emily, a reader of Amazingly Content (http://tinyurl.com/6ybefp), asks this great question. I thought I’d share it with you. *** Dear William, I am reading your ebook Amazingly Content. I already knew about ho’oponopono from Joe Vitale and Dr Len but it’s great to hear the inspiring stories in your ebook and more information about how to apply it. I have some questions on using ho’oponopono. Recently I have been looking into the material of Eckhart Tolle and others who teach being in the present, in the now. I would like to continue to do ho’oponopono but am unsure how to …
Obviously, Not True…
Posted On Jul 4 2008A reader wrote this about my Laser Focused report Amazingly Content. (http://tinyurl.com/6ybefp ) Since this Ho’oponopono thing is so obviously not true, I’m going to have to take advantage of your guarantee. If it is true, then prove it by using it yourself to change my mind about asking for this refund. See, it ain’t true! Isn’t that sweet? I smiled and cheerfully refunded his money. I didn’t try to change his mind. Amazingly enough, I am content. But the truth is, I understand what he’s saying. Ho’oponopono, the method in the report, is obviously untrue. How could it be …

Magic with Oprah and Eckhart Tolle
Posted On Apr 3 2008I struggle with my own craziness all the time. When I’m crazy, I am living inside of my mind listening to a strident voice harangue over a tinny radio urging me to blame my closest friends and my wife for my troubles. If I take the time to get present — and I know lots of ways to do that – I return to a connection with the Present and Presence. I become sane. I am happy and serene. Eckhart Tolle who penned the best seller The Power of Now wrote a follow up book – A New Earth. He is …
The Rise of the Author
Posted On Feb 20 2008If you haven’t read this goodie yet, please do so immediately. Although Mark Joyner’s writing is always clear and even fun to read, his insights are profound. Many call him a genius. http://www.simpleology.com/p/riseoftheauthor/wmwittmann The title is easily misunderstood – the importance of this document reaches far beyond authorship (although your concepts about this will be permanently altered). I just started reading it myself, and I felt I should let you know about it right now. This changes *everything* my internet and publishing gurus say. We’ll see. I recommend reading it, and deciding for yourself. It’s a freebee so you’ve nothing …
Chuck Ling Ferret Studio
Posted On Jan 16 2008“What’s the name of your studio?” I gently inquire. “Huh?” you wonder. “What’s the name of your studio? What do you call the place where you do your creative work? “You do have a place to do art and to work on creative projects don’t you?” If you want to build your right brain, and I assure you that you do, then you need to have a studio. It needn’t be more than a flat surface in the corner of a room stocked with cool pens where you can doodle. But setting aside space gives this aspect of your life …
Presencing
Posted On Jan 9 2008To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. -William Blake Zen and the poets have been addressing presence for centuries. What’s new is that everyone is paying attention to presence now, not just a handful of monks. Presence lives outside of language so I find it hard to talk about. Blake’s poem points to it brilliantly. Let me take a stab at it, too. You travel into Presence often, but perhaps you don’t fully grasp the importance of this. …
Cool Way to Stretch Your Storytelling Muscles
Posted On Dec 6 2007Write an exactly 50-word mini saga. I hear this can become quite addictive. I enjoyed writing this one, it’s a memoir — Orion Predawn, on the dock, overlooking the Sound, I see Orion rising over the hill behind our condominium for the first time this season. I recall this was Dad’s code name during the war – the hunter – recovering looted Nazi art. I am saddened I never heard those stories from my father. (50 words.) Certainly, you can write your mini-saga longhand. The more intimate the saga the better it lends itself to handwriting. Handwriting may also bring …
Why You Need a Paper Route
Posted On Aug 10 2007“I’ve noticed,” Mom said, “ever since you got your paper route, you haven’t been sick.” Having a paper route in the middle of the last century meant delivering papers to people’s homes seven days a week, 365 days a year in rain, snow, summer dog days, and excellent weathers. It meant, in my case, exercising hard for 45 minutes up to an hour and a half on snowy Sunday mornings in the dark. “Where have I heard this before?” you inquire politely. “That’s right – Younger Next Year and Harry’s rules. The first rule is exercise hard six days a …
Yummy Water? Fun Electrolytes, News from the Universe, Save the World
Posted On Jul 12 2007Are you sweating? It may be summer now where you live. If not, remember this for when it’s sweating season. When you exercise six days a week as I have been recommending, you will sweat. You need to replace the fluids you sweat off. You can lose as much as a quart in a hard workout – drink water. Lots of it. Don’t like water? Can’t stand the stuff? Hang on… What else do you lose? If you peeked at the title of today’s piece you know. You sweat off electrolytes. Lick some sweat – it’s salty. …
Two Magic Nutritional Supplements Zap Bad Guys
Posted On May 16 2007After reading Andrew Weil’s very useful book, Healthy Aging, I decided to try some of his suggestions. (Just out in paperback.) Weil favors Zyflamend, an anti-inflammatory supplement, composed of a half dozen herbs and other goodies. One herb included is turmeric, that’s right, the spice. It turns out that folks in India who eat a bunch of it have much lower incidences of Alzheimer’s disease. Since I have some genetic predisposition to this inflammatory brain condition, I thought taking some would be a good plan. (It would be difficult to get enough in your food unless you shift to the …
