MAGIC OF THINKING BIG : NOW MORE THAN EVER

 

                                                             

                                                                   A classic from 1959


THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG by David Joseph Schwartz.  1959.  Foreword by Melvin Powers for those who remember back in the day.

A classic that might be even more relevant today.  We have some big challenges that will be met if our thoughts be big.  "Luck will often enough find a man if his courage hold"  (paraphrase of 13th Warrior and Norse lit)

The world of America, Canada, New Zealand and many others are passing away into nostalgia.  What is implied in the very etymology of 'nostalgia' is a longing for home but also the tonic of homecoming.  It might seem that the end of the trust in government with respect for their controls means the end of the West.  But we know the West is a creation of thinking and doing by real people. My long memory recalls that fearful times were  also grand times.  We  won against fearful odds.  We didn't KNOW we would win in that state of
induced fear and weak obedience by the masses.  But we did suspect we would win when sensing ethical action and making concerted ethical actions.  

Today, I see people leaving the 'civilization' of draconian controls and starting over with brave land-taking in new and unfamiliar regions.  I also see those regions speaking to the hearts and minds of the new arrivals with a winning response to their hard work.  Alternative culture as a return to what's right is gaining ground by the new efforts of those who seem to have given up on governing bodies but are taking control of their own trajectory as a business endeavor.  Formerly militant and politicized sub-cultures are now eschewing nihilism and complaint by taking their actions into the worlds of business endeavor.  They seek to over rule the established order by BECOMING the ruling order in charge of economics, city council, and markets. 

Entrepreneurial education is a vital function by those banned from more staid publicly funded arms of compliant national governments and U.N. or WHO regulated administrations.  The Millerman School of Michael Millerman and the Woodharrow Institute of Stephen E. Flowers are examples.

It's a tall order requiring the magic of thinking big.  

Some of my geezer guidance from my roads not taken - - ignoring the message of thinking big cost me success, or at least a fair run at it.  I read Schwartz's work while starting in partnership business in a field that did not guarantee success.  Yet the collectible and antique market burgeoned to a lucrative field.  My own section of book sales lagged because I did not risk with capital and inventory.  Selling a few books that would make small changes in everyday lives seemed like enough.  And it was satisfying but this was about 1994 when Bezos was starting Amazon as a book selling platform.  

Later in my cosmic career I started a prediction site - - which is still up today.  I limited myself to a few verifiable binary hit-or-miss predictions in selected sports events, stock market trends, politics, and world events.  Limited scope at different times that I could analyze and report easily.  Now here is a predictive site that shows how a market can more accurately predict trends than committees of 'experts.'  This site requires big thought about how to facilitate a large 'faculty' and clients makings bets on futures.  Fascinating big thinking.

I don't want to denigrate small initial efforts because action is more important than theory.  We have to start somewhere but we don't have to stop before thinking big.

THE ANTI-BOLSHEVIK ACTION PACK

A Heritage and Legacy Action Pack.  Free. The content of two Krisler books. This post features free content on the theme of honoring our Elders and recent ancestors in a way that continues into the future.  Two blog posts remember the Communist atrocity of circa 1950 Latvia and how we may face a similar prospect worldwide today.  AWARENESS AND ATTITUDE CAN PREVENT THE ONSLAUGHT WHILE CREATING A BETTER HARMONY WITH WHAT SHOULD MANIFEST INSTEAD. The new Bolshevik/Cheka controllers want us to forget our ancestors and relations to make us mere cogs in their machine.  This first post is about overcoming Marxist historical events while utilizing success principles of those who triumphed through adapting to a better way. KRISLER https://retrofuturistamerica.blogspot.com/p/krisler-western-man-in-cycle-of-war.html The second post, also free, is about similarities now in the mandate of controllers that can again be overcome with principled living today.  KRISLER BOOK TWO https://cornermarketrf.

HEROIC TRADITION. NEW THOUGHT MINDSET. MAZDAN STUDIES. MANOSPHERE

[This post was originally for my Paranormal blog. It will still appear there because the implications and benefits of advanced human ability are an important aspect of this work.  However, statistics and protocols are secondary to just plain living well. How we live in a way that is practical transcends any 'science' as a limited field.  Living well is the best paranormal.]   Here is a version of that essay.   Thomas Carlyle's advocacy of the heroic in our culture is no longer mentioned in our schools.  In fact few teachers, much less students, know who Carlyle was.   Thomas Carlyle (1795 - 1881) was a contemporary and friend of the American transcendentalist, Ralph Waldo Emerson.  I believe that to a student in the mid-1960s Carlyle was still known in literature until his banishment at some later time.  His heroic standards for the West seems to have been too much for our emerging Liberalism.  But this is not a grievance study.  I'll leave that to others.
