7 Words - Intuitive Communication Model
Author: James Burgess  | Posted: 17-03-2007 | Comments: 0 | Views: 31 | Rating: (55)  (?) 
Many people are justifiably concerned that their way of life is permanently at risk from climate changes, war and pollution. The problem lies in the way we think. Humanity has misunderstood the nature of reality and is now facing the inevitable consequences of having ignored all the signs that indicated that a new way had to be found. If we are collectively to change how we think, there needs to be some way that explains all of our experiences and is reasonably satisfactory to everyone. The 7 Words System offers this. It is defined by the use of 7 primary words-No, Hello, Thanks, Goodbye, Please, Sorry, Yes-and their 28 related keywords.
Each of us has our own individual strengths and weaknesses. Some are strong with No, weak with Hello; some good at Goodbye, and reluctant to say Sorry. A questionnaire has been devised, researched and statistically validated, which has the capacity to lead a person very quickly to an incisive degree of self-awareness. It can also be used as a tool for practitioners in one-to-one sessions of psychotherapy, also in group work and in relationship counselling.
Words are powerful. They shape the way we think and therefore how we act. If we misuse them by the employment of propaganda, deceit and sensationalism, then the mind becomes confused. Such confusion and the related suspicion can never lead to harmony and trust...it leads to conflict. To end war we must speak truth.
We can look differently at all aspects of life when we look through the lens of 7. We can see what is actually going on in any system and in any communication by analyzing its components into each of the 7 words. Life is constantly changing; empires come and go and beliefs constantly shift-and yet there are some fundamentals that never change. These are universal laws-and one of them is the law of 7. Intuitively we have understood the mystery of this number and it appears in our collective mythology repeatedly-including even the days of the week, which were created as seven without solid reasoning.
In personal development, corporate management, and in the context of our career decisions, there are many benefits. Employment profiling is useful for both employer and employee-if you are weak on Hello then it may be inappropriate to become a receptionist. The 7 stages of management are made clear-and are applied in personal and business strategies as a way to effect changes quickly, clearly and cleanly without omitting any essential aspects of the process.
At a higher level, we can see that there are new ways to comprehend global issues and therefore new approaches to address the major problems of our times.
War relates to No
Media Corruption relates to Hello
Poverty relates to Thank You
Environmental Issues relate to Goodbye
Human Rights relate to Please
Tyranny relates to Sorry
Persecution relates to Yes
Looking from the 7 Words perspective, we learn to see agreement between things that seemed very different, for example science and religion, Islam and Christianity-and we encourage people to develop their capacity for optimistic reframing through self-analysis and meditation. We can also understand our history in a new way, in which the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions are understood as stages of the development of humanity's consciousness. This enables us to put into new perspective the current crisis we are facing, to learn what we need to do and to begin the reorientation necessary to create a wholesome future together on Earth.

Need a relationship counselors help on this one
By: YoungEntrepreneur | 02-10-2008
I was with my girlfriend for 3 & 1/2 yrs and we broke up a month ago. I sent her flowers twice since then and she just told me to stop sending flowers because it was making everything harder for her. She lives in a house with 4 other girls that are all single and they are all in college, and I think she is just trying to be part of the group and trying to experience life being single again. I started dating her when she was a senior in high school, and I was already a junior in college, she lied about her age when I first met her and when we started dating, she finally told me the truth. I was already in love with her at this point and disregarded the advice from my friends and continued the relationship. She is now a junior in college, she went to the same one I did so that we could be together, and when we broke up, she told me she needed her space and that she didn?t know who she was as an individual and needed to know what life was without me, and she also said there were things that she wanted to do at college that she couldn't do while being in a relationship. Pretty harsh since only a month before the break up, we were talking about moving in together the next year. But at the same time we were arguing a lot and actually spent a few days apart not as a couple, especially on her birthday. She told me on her birthday that she cried half way into the night because I wasn?t there, and we got back together for another month. During this month we were growing farther apart, and I felt it more on her end by listening to the constant complaints she had about me because I never complained about her. She was upset that I was not going right into the work force after college and she did not have faith in my plans for starting an online business. We used to have this little anniversary every month to just celebrate the day of the month we got together, but as time went on, we stopped celebrating our anniversaries like we used to. I used to write her alot of poems, almost one every month, but as our relationship went on, the poems slowed to a halt. At this time, I had already graduated school, was living back at home with my parents, and was in the middle of getting a start-up business going. I spent a lot of time on the business and my ex was still living at home because it was summer and she lives close to the school. As the summer was coming to an end, she was also getting ready to move into this house with her friends and I went on a small vacation with my friends, so we weren't spending as much time together. During the vacation she mentioned not being happy and sounded like she wanted to break up, and I was not giving her the attention she deserved while I was away on this trip which made the situation even worse. I was spending tons of time out on the lake and couldn?t bring my phone with me and I simply didn?t care thinking that there is no way she would ever break up with me because of all the things we have said and done for each other. So at the end of the summer when all her friends moved into their new house for the school year, she was definitely trying to break up. I took her out to dinner and I knew then that things weren't right, she had a look on her face like she knew that she was going to break up with me later that night, and she did, but she just said she needed her space and some time, she even mentioned a few months, and then told me she wasn't looking to "hook up" with other guys. The next day, she told me about not wanting to be in a relationship anymore. I tried calling her immediately but she would not pick up her phone and basically only wanted to text me the rest of what she had to say which was how she couldn?t give me what I was looking for. She said she couldn't promise me that she wouldn't try to "hook up" with other guys because she wouldn't know how else she would ever get over me. So I basically broke down at this point and begged for her back in so many ways, which I read later is one of the worst things you can do, I even sent flowers when she replied with one sentence answers of how they are pretty but to not send them. I even wrote her a poem which she didn't respond to at all.. So after sending her flowers the second time and getting a response to not send them anymore, I just replied to her via email, since she wont talk to me on the phone, and said this: this is all very hard for me... its obvious that you don't want me to be a part of your life anymore, I respect you and I'll respect your decision... and then I said goodbye once and for all. She didn't respond to me since then until 5 days ago when she saw me adding some new attractive friends to my facebook, she replied to me in a personal message on facebook saying: ?I like your new wh_re friend... I?m glad to see you are not sad anymore.? I think that was a jealous and spiteful thing to say. I have been reading some books on this topic and it said if you are trying to get your ex back, you have to always enforce positive thoughts to your ex and never negative ones. They also said that using jealousy as a tactic to get back your ex is not suggested because it only pushes them to believe that you are moving on and so should they or that maybe they cannot meet the new standards of your new friends. That is just the background of my story and I have only one question. It's been 5 days since I received the message on facebook from my ex. Some people I have asked, especially women tell me not to reply to that message at all, because she is playing games, and that she can think that she really is losing me now and that she will finally realize what she is losing once she thinks I'm truly gone. My guy friends, some of which have been in this very situation, tell me to reply to the message as soon as possible and lay down some boundaries. They want me to tell her this: Hey ... I'm sorry I haven't responded in a while, I've been really busy lately, I hope you know it wasn't my decision to do this, but I am going out and meeting new people, and hanging out with old friends I haven't seen in years too, just because I am adding new people to my facebook doesn?t mean I am hooking up with them. I would really like to sit down with you and talk about everything and see if we could work things out. Just give me a call. Is that a good enough response? What do you think I should do? Should I not respond? Should I respond with something else? I personally think I need to say something soon or she will really take this as a sign to just move on if I do not reply, and I don?t want that. I really do want her back so I need to know what the best thing to do here is.

Weaving Happiness Into our Relationships With Others
By: Dick Rauscher | 12/10/2008
Love is not a feeling, it is a behavior. Unfortunately our behaviors toward those we love are too often determined by our primitive ego. As a result our words say "I love you" but our behaviors are hurtful. We have to learn to be loving regardless of how we might be feeling in the moment.
The Extraordinary Source of Shakti/energy
By: Yuga Rishi Shriram Sharma Acharya | 11/10/2008
Gayatri is the root cause or substratum of all material objects and because of its existence there is movement, energy, advancement, inspiration and conversion in the inert-conscious world. Just as the machine called radio in one’s house contacts the all-pervasive ether vibrations in the cosmos, which helps one to hear radio broadcasts not only of one’s own country but of other countries too.

Perception as a Spiritual Idea
By: James Burgess | 05/03/2007 | Psychology
In the early days of life, the boundaries of self are not strong and external atmospheres and pressures mould each of us. As years go by, individual malleability is reduced and the psyche crystallizes into a personality that reflects our most frequent and most intense experiences. We can see from this that our neuroses and our character are shaped by the same forces, and in fact are aspects of each other.
Mysticism, Miracle and Authority

Dostoyevsky’s insight into human nature is captured in his statement about the only three things by which the typical person is truly moved: mysticism, miracle and authority. These three primary motivations relate to the spiritual path.
