Health,
Relationships 
I am not you, and you are not me. That is the way things are. I like that. As you ponder that, let me explain to you why I find tremendous value in that distinction.
Distinctions create boundaries. Without distinctions, everything would be porous and absorbing this information or that information would generate confusion. But that confusion is instantly absolved when we utilize distinctions.
There’s a tendency for people with whom I communicate to think that we have some connection, as-if they “know me”. The way they communicate and the advice they give comes from the perspective of “I know this person in every dimension and in every aspect”. But then I mention something that I have done that the person with porous distinctions has not done, like ran multiple marathons, the person shirks back and immediately says “Oh, I couldn’t do that!”. Instantly their slurring and blurring of our distinctions of you being me, and me being you –gets mutilated when an element of capacity enters the conversation.
You see, as you listen to this closely and intently you realize that intention should govern our behavior (and often it does when we are not being persuaded, manipulated, or under a hypnotic trance by the media), but many times our perception of capacity limits our behavior. When I mention to someone actions I have taken that they deem outside of their capacity (for example having written 4 books, or ran multiple marathons, or any other task of which people are incredibly capable of doing, but don’t believe they have that capacity to do so) who has a ruptured their perception of boundaries, what happens in their mind? First they recoil. They instantaneously have a thought process of “this person is not whom I thought they were and there exists a distinction in our capacity”. Such distinctions are good. Because in many ways, what makes you you, and me me, is our logical levels, which of course, include beliefs, identity, capabilities, and behavior. If I am talking to you in person, we share the same environment. That is it. I’d say environment is roughly 3% of “who I am” and “who you are” at best. Without logical levels, we are all practically identical twins because our only differences would be blemishes on our epidermal layer of our skin, hair coloration, simple, trivial distinctions bound into the same sequences of deoxyribonucleic acid. So it’s truly our logical levels that spark this kind of Lamarakian
For awhile in my junior year in college I engaged this belief that we were all this spiritual, interconnected, “Universal One” person. I enjoyed entertaining that belief because of many reasons. Reasons for entertaining the “universal one” delusion: Read more…

Career,
Health 
The whole “work hours” thing is a foreign concept to me. Maybe because I just don’t make a distinction between work and play, or (most likely) I just always work. Sometimes I wake up and start work at 2am. Sometimes I just don’t ever go to sleep and take a nap in the middle of the day.
It’s easier for me, I realize, to just say my sleep patterns (the times where I’m not working) than the times I am working; I sometimes sleep around the 12ish to 3ish zone. I like exercising at night (moonlight runs).
So it’s strange, I work about 80-90 times harder and am more demanding of myself than I would have been if I worked for an employer other than myself. This increase in work motivation, results, and demands is probably inherent to any freelance work or “business owner” work. That’s an interesting pattern and managing the work that you do as an entrepreneur is what we’re talking about today. You have to develop this weird relationship with yourself where you’re the administrator who decides what we need to do (as a business) and then you put on the “employer cap” and do the stuff that you decided to do while wearing the administrative hat. Finally, you clean it all up by wearing, possibly a “customer hat” and test-running for the purposes of debugging your business feature. This works with websites, products, services, expansions of any kind.
Having access to multiple outcome frames from multiple hats (points of view and angles) is a must for any entrepreneur. How do you do this? How do you don and even design the array of chapeaus you have to wear to be a successful entrepreneur? Read more…

Sure there’s a few rare incidents of them attacking humans
but the same is true of lightning
and lightning strikes are actually more frequent than shark bites. If Spielberg had created Zappers instead of Jaws, about how frequently people get struck and killed by lightning would there be a greater fear irrational fear of the atmospheric discharge of electricity and indifference to our cartilaginous friends? I think so.

John's LifeScribe™ Journal One interesting fact about is me that I don’t sleep on beds. Since 2003, I haven’t slept on a bed. I started this practice while studying spider monkeys in the yucatan jungle of Mexico. Obviously, we slept in tents in the yucatan and there were no mattress beds in the tents — just the refreshingly simple jungle floor. I continued this. Sleeping on the floor is better for:
My back. Mattresses encourage odd vertebral curvature, the floor does not and my spine has been noticeably more aligned and even spinal elongation has occurred since I started this practice.
My energy. I got groggy sleeping in beds, but I feel refreshed and clear sleeping on the floor.
My simplicity. As part of my productivity and organizational coachign, I’m an anti-clutter freak and while it may seem overly-meticulous to focus on not having bedding clutter to worry about, having to make a bed, deal with undersheets, comforter, mattress sheets, versus just one blanket that I use to cover me while sleeping on the floor, greatly makes my life easier, simpler, and more clutter-free, when you add up all your belongings (and they do add up!).

Career Purpose and Tools for Getting There
Defining Purpose and Tools to get there. GREAT Lucid Ideas
I asked myself what my purpose in life is. I couldn’t figure it out. So I asked, “Okay, what definitely IS NOT my purpose in life?”. I thought about it and said, “to wear socks — my purpose on life is definitely NOT to wear socks.” That’s great!! Why because that process of elimination helps define some crucial criteria for better solidifying and illuminating what I my purpose IS on the planet. The logic behind “not here to wear socks” was because everyone can and does do it. Everyone wears socks, so my purpose couldn’t possibly be to wear socks because it’s not unique.
Therefore, a key criteria for my purpose is that few people possess your aptitude and high-level skill in that purpose. The purpose must be unique and of high-skill level so that very few (or maybe even no one) can do that purpose better than I. If tons of people can do my “purpose” better than I can, then that isn’t a purpose, that’s a mere tool.

Productivity & Organization
“A vision without a task is but a dream, a task without a vision is drudgery, a vision and a task is the hope of the world”
– Sussex, England Church (importance of vision).
Welcome to the Progress and Organizational Productivity Principles. Everyone’s system for organization their stuff is unique — and it should be unique. Why? Because there exist 6.6 billion unique and different people in the world embodying individual personality characteristics, voices, choices, and beliefs! Even twins are remarkably different with remarkably different goals and projects and todos and productivity items. POPP is about openly developing your own style, your own method, for staying organized in a way that works, and is consistent, and endures even some of the most fast-paced action-packed times of your life!

Carradine’s death and Heath’s death in early 2008 (both suicides) shows that actors are unhappy. They need and are lost and confused. I’m 100% convinced that the reaons for following film and studying acting for a bit was to eventually Coach actors in areas of fulfilment and health and performance and meaning. It’s simple. Actor’s have a lot of money and little happiness. I have a lot of happiness and little money. I can teach the happiness; they can give me the money. Both parties happy. 
!!
This makes you realize that Hollywood is truly just a massive Cult of Marketing and ploys nad disillusionment tied in with the media to create the illusion of the “glory of fame and stardom” etc. Well Hollywood went down the tubes. Seriously. I’ve been living 20 miles west of “Hollywood” the past year and the place is like a vacant ghost town when I visit it (seriously). Additionally, the silver screen pictures and that whole era from a sales/business point of view is completely wasted and gone. Youtube, private casts, internet “films” are now reality. So the Cultu of Hollywood is slowly dying.
Boy has my thought evolved rapidly the past years!! Only three years ago I was fascinated with and enthralled by actors. Now, after discovering some truly clear thinking rocking bodacious people (DB, Dawkins, etc). I’ve realized, sure, some actors may be genuinely cool, great people, but their profession is the biggest kind of cult disillusionment mass hypnosis possible. Tahts’ why so many off themselves because their profession is so warped and disillusioned and they’re a servant for “product placement” in the films! They likely have very little sense of self after playing characters and roles for many years of their life.
Coaching is the opposite of that. I spend YEARS of my life writing books on discovering exactly what I want to know and who I want to be and I discover that! I was interested in spirituality and when I was, it was exciting but various things (prosetylizatio in Costa Rica on multiple occasion, reading up on cults and witnessing identical similarities between cults and major religions etc) emerged and I evolved out of that. Now science and atheism are rivetting. TRULY rivetting. But the truth of the matter is. They’ve ALWAYS been rivetting! I’ve ALWAYS been this nerdy, scientific atheist. I watch home videos of me as a kid and I see that and know that. “Devout Atheism” (:D) is what’s true for me. Kiekegaard says “I must find a truth that’s true for me”. Well, soren, I did just that and it’s refreshing and incredibly MASSIVELY empowering!! Wow. So empowering to honor my genuine LOVE for science! Three kinds of symbiotic relationships, Stomata on plants, cellular respiration I love that high-tech jargon and better yet the fact that it’s linked to real things in nature. But physics is like some of the most absolute truths of all tied in with the precision of math. I’m very interested in physics especially. Sweet!!

Dear Governor Schwarzenneger,
(From John Thomas “Kooz” Kuczmarski)
I’m a strong believer that the purpose of a city should serve Nature. Nature — wildlife, animals, we homo sapiens ARE Nature — should be the intention of anything municipal, or city-based. Therefore the idea of actually closing beaches, closing a way for humans to enjoy nature (the ocean and beaches) would be undermining the very purpose of a city.
Do you really think people will stand for not being able to access beaches? Have you any idea how ludicrous that sounds?
I think anyone who believes eliminating parks-nature-Beach funding for the purpose of redirecting those funds to something non-Nature-based needs to re-evaluate their mission, don’t you?
If the significance of Nature (the oxygen we breath from the botanical plants of parks) and the body of water that keeps us alive (planet earth ecologically could not survive if it were not for it being covered with over 70% water) is eclipsed, all is lost for EARTH and humans. This sounds extreme and that’s because it is. If anything, funding needs to be redirected to opening MORE beaches and parks to remind us homo sapiens that we are just highly-evolved primates, elements of nature and truly do deserve to connect with Nature readily and frequently.
I think one problem with American government is that it HAS too much funding!! IT has so much funding that it redirects it’s energies, finances, and time away from the absolute necessities (nature, oxygen, planetary perpetuation and survival).

Relationships “I’m not interested”. “I love your energy and you’re doing a great job selling, but I’m not interested, mate.” “I can tell you REALLY want me to, but not interested. Thanks though! Happy travels!” “No, zero interested”. There’s magic in those phrases. There’s abundant, liberating, FREEDOM in those phrases. What do those phrases do? Those phrases reclaim your time. Those phrases reclaim your life. In life, all you really have is time. It’s arguable that you have decisions and time, but for someone committed to taking action (less decision-making), you truly only have time. Utilizing your time with the right decisions will earn you money, put you in the best place in the world, where you want to be.
If you don’t have the capacity to say those phrases, and control YOUR time, do you know how dangerous life will become??!!! Your life will become someone else’s life. Some salesman who invites you to test drive his car, or some teacher who wants you to pay them to take her class…all of those things you will do and people will drain you of money, drain you of time, drain you of life.
People may get offended if you politely tell them you’re not interested. Guess what? Their feeling offended is NOT your problem! If someone says to you “I’m not interested” and I feel offended because someone expressed their opinion about an offer, I’d have a seriously low-esteem or “taking things personally” or confidence problem! So honor someone being offended by you politely saying “I’m not interested, but I appreciate your offer” as some problem THEY have!!

Career 
In the business, professional, internet, or any world with which you associate yourself. Professionalism, formality, closure and safety are all important. Read on to see why contracts move goals forward!
1. Formality. It adds to the REALNESS of the coaching relationship for BOTH the client and coach. As a coach I don’t want some client joking around wasting my time if they aren’t committed to changing. I take coaching VERY seriously. I’ve deliberately started and stopped smoking for 2 month segments specifically for the purpose of learning about the addiction so I could educate myself on how to help clients break it! I take coachign incredibly seriously and I need clients that are committed to changing as well! From the Client POV, I’m sure a sincere and focused client who’ serious about achieving his/her goals WANTS a serious coach who’s determined to make them realize their goals and potential!! A contract creates this formality to the coaching-client relationship.
2. Closure. A contract creates closure and certainty on the duration of the coaching. This is ESSENTIAL for goal-setting because it shows the coach and client how fast they ahve to move and what they will have time to cover or not. If the coach and client only have 2 coachign sessions, they’ll most certainly have to focus on different things than if they had 10 coaching sessions. A contract creates closure.
