More than 30 years ago I wrote a monologue for well known Swedish actor Ernst-Hugo Järegård. It was based on the conflicts involving:
We think something, feel something else, want a third thing and doing something completely different.
It turned into a practical life compass that helped me in almost all situations professionally and in life as such when one day disaster struck in the form of a severe car crash. It caused not only a tough physical convalescence but also a spiritual development.
It made me question if we are guided by some external or internal force that we can perceive as a hunch, mystery helping hand or a random coincidence.
Questions about those conflicts led into a long scientific research about motives, perception and decision. It became clear that we seek the good and want the best but for different reasons, we sometimes seem to discourage success and not listen to our self. And waht ai mean by listening to our self is not only the logical thought or the guiding emotions but also something else. Coming from what?
I was an Atheist but the situation demanded me to question a new reality.
I suppose that there is a common misconception to think that if God exists he/she/it would not allow all evil. In my view it is necessary for the development of mankind to experience mostly everything of life to be able to know and to choose what life find most favorable.
And then again God might be a metaphor for the gift in every life form to create it’s own destiny and also evolution.
Free will?
The purpose of the free will and choice is also commonly regarded as enabling improvement through processes of “trial and error”. But I think that is also a misunderstanding. At least it is not all true. We learn and develop by success, try and try again. And then, life must try everything, evil and good to know what life ultimately want and need. This is a principle of developing the aim for success, in all life, even at primitive levels, and I have come to call it Succébo as a parallell to placebo.
The pursue to know more turned into science
“Succébo-the seed of success“
is the first part in a trilogy “On the origin of Consciousness”. The findings are so transformative, you could say radical, as it needed many years to explore and test hypotheses.
Succébo is a phenomenon that links the mental imagination of the mind and body development, and could therefore have preceded the placebo.
The world’s scientific conclusions are always based on the explanation of – cause and effect -, but evolution is often described as events of random mutation. It is an unreasonable assumption that is questioned and discussed here. Instead, it shows more evidence that evolution is intentional and therefore intention-oriented. In what then, one might wonder. Well to create the best conditions for survival. (Darwin)
The second book “Twelve Senses“
categorizing perception in a new way will be released in the spring 2012. It introduces an entirely new classification of the senses that puts the ancient physical senses in a new context. The aim is to get this new approach presented in an accessible, reassuring and convincing manner. Although it also discuss spirit, soul and mediumship, topics that are highly controversial in the scientific domain. The findings around Near Death Experience contains convincing evidence that we have an independent mind that make it possible to perceive environment, even if all the physical senses are eliminated.
What now is needed is an extensiv research with test and theory development for further exploring. Hopefully “12 senses” will inspire that.
After participating “Toward a Science of Consciousness” at Stockholm University in may 3-8 (2011) it certainly gives hope.
The third book “TRY AGAIN – Try and Try Again!”
confronts the long lived idea of “trial and error”. Modern brain research shows that we learn of the success and not errors.
This book, which are expected to be released in 2013, also provides a theoretical and practical foundation for life coaching as currently discussed by the Cultural Chronicle “If life coaching for all”.
Coach!
When I started this business and took the title Coach never did I know how great it would be. In 1988 it was the american title of the college teacher and team leader in sport. In UK it stood for bus and horse wagon. I used coach in order to reduce the tension for groups and people in talking about different questions of solving problems and initiate progress. In almost ten years I was alone with this title in occupational areas. The first time I heard it spread was on a mission for Ericson where coach soon after were used by someone guiding other in projects.
When “Coach” both as title and function, was spread in several areas I witnessed how people with no relevant training or skills throw themself into the role of coach. It was then to me as disrespectful as when some who think they are mediums give readings without asking if someone wants them. It is of course totally unprofessional. For this reason I am looking now for a new concept which is also discussed in particular the second part, Tvelwe Senses, but presented already in Succébo. I think there could be a new type of scientific experience grounded psychology based on partly new view on intelligence. Where practice are educated in combining communication, exploring, management control and achievement.
Emology
EMOLOGI (Swedish) is a newly created word (Emotion + logic) which highlights the importance of emotion and treats them equally with the rational logic that otherwise currently dominates the field of science even in psychology and thereby excluding at least half the mind. The underlying theory is the theory of a Life Compass, which is built around “Life intelligences”. A form of IQ and a form of EQ (Social and emotional skills) are included, but supplemented with an exploratory probing intelligence “Management IQ” and a “Power Potential” that is the Executive Intelligence. These Life Compass intelligences are empirically proven in extreme situations in elite sport in particular and occupations, especially in vulnerable and demanding projects.
Three tracks
So this project proceeds in three different tracks 1) Body consciousness 2) Brain Consciousness an 3) Independent Consciousness. It raises three key questions: 1) Is there a purpose in life to always seek the favorable? 2) Is there a life compass built into all life that provide adequate wits to find the most favorable solution? 3) Is there an independent mind, a soul that accompanies every life, sometimes hinting the Life Compass and Brain Consciousness.
There is also a fourth question 4) If there is a soul connected to each life is it possibly to reborn into new lives. And if it comes to it, even then this kind of process should apply even the smallest organisms?
In that case some Asian religions are right? I wouldn´t like to turn this into religion but the question is obvious.
The book series published by VISAM and distributed through Bokrondellen (Swedish). Part one release (in May 2011) and will soon be available at all major online publishers, and on any central university library, city and royal library in Sweden. The trilogy is hopefully translated into english in 2014 or 2015.
