- Strephon Says 40 Healing Pain Awareness Exercise 2006-10-21 21:15:00
This is a powerful meditative body-awareness exercise to listen to and do a number of times. The effect is to help teach you internal relaxation and body awareness. Trying to relax is not enough. You must change your attitude towards yourself and your body. You must train your ego in the proper attitude of cooperation rather than control. You are important but you are not in charge. Your energy system and body was created over a million years. It knows what it is doing. Let your body do its thing by practicing internal body awareness.One podcast has Strephon's introduction, as well as the exercise. The companion podcast has only the exercise for listening to. As always, if you are afraid of doing this letting go exercise do so only with some kind of support, like a good friend or a professional. Using this exercise is your one hundred percent responsibility. Our contribution is educational only. Only for private use. Copyrighted and we reserve all commercial rights. Good Journeying!

7000 New Listeners In One Month! 2006-10-16 21:14:00 Yes, on September 16 we reported we reached 10,000 listeners, a significant breakthrough then. Now with 7000 new listeners in one month the prediction is that we will have around 28,000 to 30,000 by the end of the year, and a year on from that we could have 7000 times 12 plus 30,000, or over 100,000 listeners.Some listeners are repeat people, of course, but even when repeat listeners it shows that these people are learning something important for themselves each time. How many listeners turn off and don't come back? Has anyone done research on this?Another factor is that the number of podcasts and videocasts out there in Internet Land keeps increasing, squeezing those of us already there. So the competition for ears becomes greater. This also means that those of us already here will stay because of our devotion to excellence, and not otherwise. We see this as we go up and down on the iTunes scales, the big directory. We are not after numbers only but quality and the assurance that our Read more:Month
- Strephon Says 39 Fear And Pain Transformation 2006-10-14 14:01:00
Real life experiences of fear and pain, such as menstruation, showing how our controlling ego makes our pain worse because we are in fear. Transform the fear and pain will be different.***This is Strephon Kaplan-Williams talking about fear and how to deal with it."I don't know any other way," says one student. "All I know is my fear."I had just guided her through a mini process in dealing with menstrual pains and other pressing issues in her life. I said, "Try and be in your pain rather than react against it. Experience yourself as you are. When you are afraid of the pain or what you think is going to happen to you, you go into fear and fear contracts you, makes you tight and distorted in your view of reality."She was indeed in severe pain. Many women are at their menstrual cycle. To handle this pain women often take medications, drugs. They want relief, yet what sort of relief is in sight for them if they don't learn to handle menstruation and its Read more:Transformation

These are not the exact words of the vodcast, which is delivered orally by Strephon. He writes here the principles and practices upon which he basis his talk.Conflicts are inherent to life itself, so we do well to learn how to battle, to stand up for our rights and needs, and yet also build cooperative unities out of conflicts.Two ways for doing battle dominate in human society. One actually dominates, and that is the win-lose competitive model in which conflicts are resolved by one group defeating the other. This is not the best system because such conflicts do not leave all parties in a win-win situation building life resources and energy together by sharing responsibilities, resources and benefits.The compe Read more:Battle

- Strephon Says 38 God In The Now 2006-09-27 16:30:00 My Odeo Channel
God defined realistically in terms of our now experiences. Relating to the God of Now, the Tao of Now, is conscious practice for all the moments of life, positive or negative.***This is Strephon Kaplan-Williams speaking about God. Actually, you cannot speak about God. You can only speak about yourself, and you are a human being.When we apply the way of clarity and good thinking to living now in the immediate experience of our lives we come out with the conclusion that only God can speak about God and only human can speak about human.Thus, we have to say that what you, or I, think we are saying about God, we are using human brain power and tongue and breath power to say.Now I ask you, are these things God, or are these things animal parts and functions called a human being?Is all this fancy dress that any of the religions wear a product of humanity or does God have a sewing shop somewhere?So let's talk facts and reality. While our talk about God may be about some reali

See this video on Google VideoStrephon trains his Romanian Psychology Students in Spiritual Aikido Practice and term Strephon uses for teaching Universal Energy Principles that show up in dreams and life.Here you will see Strephon's students learning not to resist the stick coming at then but to move with it, adapting to its motion.The opposite is resisting the force and the weapon coming at you in a defensive, rather than blending way. This principle in practice in life and martial arts can make you rigid and therefore susceptible to being broken more easily than if you are flexible and flow with energy coming your way.Students get to experience directly what their attitudes are as seen in their use of their bodies.Strephon always has training sessions for students in Spiritual Aikido to use during breaks from the intellectual work and in special sessions.You do not have to be good at martial arts or spo Read more:AIKIDO

Seems this rate increase is again five days.Thus at this rate increase we should have at least 14 times 1000 or a total by the end of the year of 25,000 listeners.Look for advanced podcasts for students who want to commit to a learning process in our School For Consciousness starting in 2007 by paying a small monthly fee and working on their learning project. We will content the regular free podcasts at at least one a week for everybody, and then have advanced learning also.
- Strephon Says 37 Sleep Meditation 2006-09-16 12:05:00 Sleep Meditation
Only
Special background and instructions: Please note this Sleep Mediation is not hypnotherapy, nor is it visualization. Both these techniques are considered ego control adaptation techniques, and are therefore rejected by Strephon as a psychologist in the Jungian tradition. C.G. Jung postulated a center in the human psyche greater than, and other than, ego, the conscious side of the personality, the controller in most people. It is this deeper, inner center that we teach ego to follow in inner, healing and balancing work.This approach to sleeping is a life-long learning practiced by deep dream-workers who do not manipulate dreams but seek to follow them and be congruent in dreams and life with the Dream Center, also called by Strephon, the Dream Source.When you listen to this meditation in falling asleep be aware that you are keeping awareness but letting go of control. You are not being hypnotized. You are being encouraged and guided. That is all. Your deeper psych Read more:Sleep

10,000 PLUS LISTENERS 2006-09-16 11:36:00 10,000 PLUS LISTENERS - September 14, 2006Friday we broke through the 10,000 listeners level in 5 days since the 9,000 level, which took eight days to get to there from the 8,000 level, August 31 to September 8 for over 9,000. Thus we are doing better than 1,000 new listeners a week with some acceleration happening. We post figures to have a record of how it works in the hurly-burly days of pod-castingsâ beginnings.May the world change for the better with more people living from values and not materialism and power-lust first. -Strephon and Stefania
200 Listeners A Day 2006-09-12 20:26:00 PODCAST REPORT - THE SIGNIFICANCE OF NUMBERS - 200 LISTENERS A DAYToday, September 12, 2006, we broke 200 listeners a day! At this rate and going up, this would be 100 days by 200 listeners plus 9779 listeners so far or 20,000 listeners by the end of the year.To compare, this is less than two months for the listener daily average to double. This means that listeners double every two months so that around November 15 we could have 400 listeners a day and by the beginning of 2007 800 listeners a day. It hardly seems possible because that says that in the new year there could be 30 time 800 or 24,000 listeners in a month. Is this also possible?Does anyone read these reports to check our math?WHAT LISTENERS GO THROUGH: OUR DEFINITION OF A STREPHON SAYS LISTENERListeners means one listener listening to one podcast, not one permanent listener listening to many podcasts.

- Strephon Says 36 A Learning School 2006-09-09 16:31:00
Strephon talks about a dream he had of a school of learning in which students learn only from a "method of enquiry and not books."***This is Strephon Kaplan-Williams writing this talk this morning at seven AM on the importance of the reality function.In my remembered dream I was starting a learning school for adults in which the true essentials would be taught. We had four students enrolled at the beginning. We needed at least eight to make a go of it financially. I had no money and I had four stains on my good jeans.My question to myself was, what should I do? Ask one of the men students my size to lend me a pair of his clean pants? Or, simply tell students that I knew I was wearing stained pants but that these were the only good pants I had right now for teaching class.I thought if I did this I might go on a little long out of anxiety. Was it that important anyway? Why should I spend valuable class time on discussing the teacher's personal ego and financial circumstances Read more:Learning

9000 Listeners on September 8, 2006 2006-09-08 12:31:00 In one week we went from 8000 listeners on August 31 to over 9000 listeners on September
8, with a new daily average of 195 a day. This means that now we are increasing listeners at 1000 a week to bring us to at least 25,000 listeners going into January, 2007 16 weeks from now. If we only increase at 1000 listeners a week we will have at least 75,000 listeners by the beginning of 2007 which is a nice goal to have to get interest in a new book of mine which might come out by then.What I cannot seem to figure out is the rate of acceleration. We started at zero 21 weeks ago. What is the rate of acceleration so that we can predict how high it is going to get?We had 450 listeners after the first month and 950 after the second month. We had 2267 listeners after the third month. Thus we more than doubled our numbers for the third month.In three and a half months we had 3695 total listeners and 100 listeners a day. 1428 listeners came in after two weeks more, around 1500, or 750 listeners a we

Are you willing for the moment to clarify your existence?Are you the news you view, hear and read about?The truth is that I don't exist when I get involved with world news. Let's ban the news!I spend an hour searching the news, hearing a correspondent talk about her being kidnapped by Arabs in Lebanon, the latest fighting, the latest tennis results, the latest whatever.None of this is me, yet I am totally involved and before I know it I have wasted an hour of my life.My mind has the capacity to become the people of the news I read about and hear and see. For the moment I am the people of the news.I don't exist when I do that.Our problem is to live as our real selves and not as someone else in the world.I am not a reporter being kidnaped. I am not those persons being blown up by a bomb f Read more:Existence
Report Chart - Four Months 2006-08-19 11:02:00 This chart shows some of our statistics for interpretation. Since we keep rising in numbers at an accelerated rate we cannot evaluate these numbers accurately. Maybe they are still interesting, and we shall draw some conclusions.
This chart does not show all our 32 podcasts for the first four months but it does show the more recent podcasts for up to two months. Day 2 and Day 3 mean the two most recent days, not counting today. Totals are total listener audience for the last four months, which shows a total now just over 6000 audience.Half the total audience, then, is sampled here.-We note that The Tao Of Now is two months old but still getting a good average of 4-5 listeners a day.-The taper-off rate seems to be two weeks. After two weeks our numbers are not swelled by an initial audience of new people or samplers. After two weeks the audience picks podcast talks, not because they are new, but because the subject interests them and they are serious listeners. We see this by the amo Read more:Chart

.You know how powerful the genital functions are. You have got to get laid. You have got to have sex. Yet maybe you don't have a regular partner at the time. You are exploring, you say, I say.You meet your people. You do a little flirting, a little artificial affection, not based on knowing the person, but on giving each other a symbolic taste of what it might be like to share sex and some life together. You get that date and go out, and mostly you talk about yourselves to each other. Then comes the big decision: To go to bed with each other or not?Now things get a bit complicated.

into the average of 100 a day. This in less that three and a half months. Our total so far since April 16, 2006 is 3695 total audience so far. This represents at least that many listeners to the thought of Strephon Kaplan-Williams, more people who have heard him than in several years of giving talks to the public and teaching. Of course when Strephon has been on radio or television he has reached more people, but these people are there for the program and not by choice. To download a talk of Strephon's you have to make a choice to do so and then to listen.The quality and sincerity in delivery of Strephon's thought on life issues is what marks all his talks. He does not produce to entertain but to increase and broaden perspective about life.
