What Happens When 3 Extraordinary Teachers From "the Secret" Come Together to Teach the Science of Getting Rich?

The Science of Getting Rich is a timeless classic written in 1910 by Wallace D. Wattles. It is a bold title for a book and suggests that getting rich is a predictable outcome if one can master the principles outlined in the book. Here is how Wallace D. Wattles puts it in his own words, “The ownership of money and property comes as a result of doing things in a certain way. Those who do things in this certain way, whether on purpose or accidentally, get rich. Those who do not do things in this certain way, no matter how hard they work or how able they are, remain poor. It is a natural law that like causes always produce like effects. Therefore, any man or woman who learns to do things in this certain way will infallibly get rich.”

Certainly, this book is well referenced by many of the great teachers today and it is the same book that inspired Rhonda Byrne to produce that runaway success “the Secret”. Here is what Rhonda Byrne said on her introductory note to the book, “I can honestly say that, since that first night when a tattered printed manuscript found its way to me (thanks to one of my daughters), my life has never been the same. Once you read it for yourself, you will understand why”. Rhonda went on to produce the movie “the Secret” and the best-selling book of the same title which has sold millions of copies worldwide.

However, learning how to do things in that “certain way” as described by Wallace D. Wattles may be more challenging for some as the book was written nearly 100 years ago. Some of the language is a little dated and much of its wisdom lost from a modern day perspective.

Fortunately, a new training seminar for the Science of Getting Rich has brought the wisdom of this timeless classic back to life for modern readers. Called “the Science of Getting Rich”, this program is the most comprehensive training system for mastering Wallace D. Wattles wealth creation philosophies and principles since its creation. It comprises written, audio and live seminar formats for learning, applying and mastering the Science of Getting Rich

A unique “twist” to the program is the fact that it has an in-built vehicle for creating substantial financial wealth through its affiliate program. This is truly a unique wealth eduction and wealth building program designed to empower any individual with the resources to get rich. It is a program whose time has come. The program would not be possible without the original text from Wallace D. Wattles, the skills of leading teachers of our time, the phenomenal success of “the Secret” and the Internet as a learning and distribution tool.

Understanding Vastu: The science of directions

Understanding Vastu: The science of directions

Man has endeavored to improve from time immemorial. Starting from the Stone Age to 21st century, mankind is only keeping its step towards modernization. But as we are becoming modern, we are leaving our culture far behind which teaches us to live close to nature, thus all kind of sufferings are taking place. In order to get rid of the inexplicit sorrows, we are trying to follow the path shown by our ancestors.

We have entered the new millennium with the new hopes in the big horizon of expectations. Our generation is responsible for the present day environment we have create for our children who are facing question of survival in this polluted environment.

Health, happiness, peace of mind are our target for the future generation, thus our first concern should be that our own built environment should be in harmony with the energy of the inmates living in it.

What is Vastu: A myth or a SCIENCE?

Vaastu Shastra is about creating a congenial settings or a place to live or work, in most scientific way by taking advantages of the benefits bestowed by the five of the nature, thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in an enlightened environment.

Why that is some houses are so happy and others are full of sorrows? Why some buildings only witnesses miseries and yet other are full of happiness? Does it merely because of the people inhabit the structure or the building has the influence of its own? And the answer is Yes, apart from the destiny of the people living in the houses, there is a science which depicts the future of any structure and that is Vastu Science.

Many factors govern the life of human being:

- Fate

- Karma

- Vastu Shastra

- Hard work

The fate is not in anyone’s hand but one can take care of the rest of the three. Vastu cannot change your destiny but it can make sweet things sweeter and bitter things less bitter.

Vaastu Shilpa Shastra, the ancient mystic science and art of designing and constructing buildings finds its origin in Stapatya Veda, whose historic development took place between 600 and 300 B.C.

The Elements

Vaastu principles are geological, geometrical, geophysical, botanical and above all cosmological and celestial in nature. The world comprises of five basic elements Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. Out of the nine planets, our planet has life because of the presence of these five elements.

The Directions

The importance of orientation of a building is not only for saving energy but also to have a better house design, which not only gives comfortable living but also gives good health, prosperity and wealth to the house owners/occupiers and these families. There lies a co-relation between the rotational scenario of the planets and the house design and their different directions with respect of NORTH.

It therefore becomes necessary to interpret the ancient wisdom in modern language so that people can understand, appreciate and can take advantage of it. Vastu Shastra maintains that it is the structure that influences the occupants of a building and that’s why the construction of the building and its internal arrangements causes the transformation in the people.

Vastu Is The Science Of Earth Energy Let’S Join Hands To Heal Mother Earth

What is Vastu?

Vastu is an ancient method of living harmoniously with the nature. It is the science or study of the communion between human mind body and soul with the environment that is the science of human existence vis-à-vis the larger cosmos. It is an art which takes care of space, elements, energy, direction, shape, size, position, environment, clothes, utility of space etc. Ancient books like MAYAMATAM, RAJA VALLABH SARNI, VISHKARMA PRAKASH, SAMARANGAN SUTRA, BHOJ SAMHITA ETC. gives a deep insight of that day living and their understanding of the nature.

Why to believe in Vastu?

From ancient days to modern civilization with the evolution of living conditions humans are changing, learning to live in harmonious living conditions. Even birds, animals, and reptiles they make their houses, shelters, and caves according to their body, needs and nature. Then how can we humans left out?

Our Living conditions, configuration of energy, directions, shape size and position of land, climate, and utility of land affect our existence… Nature has a definite cycle of elements. By no way we can change the cycle of elements. You cannot have toilet in Mandir or Mandir in a toilet.

What are the modern day ailments?

We cannot apply the thousands years back knowledge as it is in present day living conditions. Ancient knowledge is only a guiding step for future analysis. In olden days mobile towers, TV, Radiations, high tension wires, etc electro magnetic fields, electrical wire lines, inbuilt water pipe lines, high rise buildings, inbuilt toilets, were not there. Geo lines are changed due to constant mining, earth quakes, change of river lines, under ground water lines and heavy foundation works. We are building living spaces in the old grave yards, Barron lands and agriculture land, which are not purposeful of human inhabitations. So we have to redefine Vastu scientifically.

What are the major Myth About Vastu?

  1. Vastu suggests heavy demolition work.
  2. Vastu is pro Hindu and religious in nature.
  3. All south facing apartments, plots are inauspicious to dwell in.
  4. Vastu principals are not applicable in the flats. Vastu deals with lands only.
  5. The T-junctions, Y-Junctions, X-junctions plots are haunted sites.
  6. Feng shui, Bio-biology, Pyramid logy are not applicable in INDIA.

We at institute of healing and alternate science, strongly discard alike and all of the above myths. We bring Logical, authentic, scientific and authoritative approach to environmental sciences through Vastu, Feng Shui, pyramidology and Bio Biology. Modern day scientific Vastu analytical tools and instruments have not only dealt with these myths efficiently but have established a new edge of man over nature.

What are the modern Methods of Analysis?

  • Vastu science is the trilogy of Astrology, Man (MIND, BODY, and SOUL) and Environment (cosmos). We account all these three and analyze any site into four parts:-

Ground level                                                                           Building level

Floor Level                                                                              Rooms Level

  • Sites maps are then prepared and following analysis tools are applied on it

Layout                                                             Three types of Grid 9×9, 7×7, 3×3

Directional grid                                               Energy chakra

Marmsthana                                                    Atimarmsthana

Golden ratio                                                    Beams and columns analysis,

Elemental Balance                                          Directional Balance

  • The cosmic, telluric and global energies are calculated both for humans residing at that premises and the premises. Their birth chats and body readings are considered for their head positions and other utility areas.
  • Aura photography based on PIP system is analyzed. It is a potent tool to analyze the effect of the mind, body and spirit on a given premises.
  • Scientific instruments like Lecher antenna, Esmogpion, Bovis scale, digital multimeters, dowsing rods, and tensors are used to evaluate negative and positive energies at the site.
  • Interior work, Colors, eight directions, five elements, elevations, utility, shape and size of each room, water management system, E.M.F and other specific details like aspirations and psychological impact of energies are analyzed.
  • Scientific analysis and research to find out Hartmann field, curry lines, leys lines and energy clouds at the site.

Teaching Science Through Cooking

Cooking is an art as well as a necessity of our lives. It can bring great joy to both the cook, as well as those who partake of the well-prepared meal and it can also be a valuable and nutritious addition to our overall health and well being. One might think that cooking and science have little in common, yet that is simply not true, as cooking offers a wide variety of opportunities to teach science to our young. By sharing quality time cooking with our children, they can learn valuable lessons not only in the ethic of work and responsibility but also in the area of science.

Experimenting In The Kitchen

Simple scientific experiments can be conducted within the comfortable confines of ones own kitchen and the end results can be edible! What an approach to science! Yet because the students are learning in a comforting and enjoyable atmosphere, it is not like the stifled book-learning approach to science. Cooking offers the child a hands on and tangible experience, while at the same time teaching them a life skill they can use daily. Children from kindergarten to college can gain practical applications and life-long knowledge by using this approach. Some example of fun experiments parents can incorporate include making candyfloss and ice cream. Making ice cream, for example, allows the exploration of the freezing point of matter. One can also talk about the role of temperature, whipping and foaming during the process. Children can learn a wide range of science concepts while they enjoy the learning process. What is more is that they get to enjoy a tasty treat at the end of the process.

Difficult chemistry concepts such as radiation, convection, conduction, energy and carbohydrate chemistry may seem overwhelming to many students, yet exploring and appreciating these science concepts during our food preparation can makes it a fun and exciting adventure. For a start, one can study the various forms of heat transfer and their different roles it play in the cooking process. With regard to specific foods, milk and dairy products can be discussed as you use them in your cooking, such as how the cows produce milk, what milk is made of, the nutrients within the milk and the difference between fermented and non-fermented products.

Plants can also be easily incorporated into our discussions. Cooking vegetables is a science itself. Even preseving them, such as kimchi, is an excellent introduction to food nutrition and preservation. By the way, talking about kimchi, in it lives a host of live organisms which one can conduct experiments on. Moreover, it also gives you an excellent opportunity to talk about Korean culture and food. Concepts such as osmosis, pH value, density of the food, as well as dissecting the vegetables to identify plant tissue and structure can be explored too.

With the wide variety of creative ideas for experimentation, the kitchen is a wonderful learning laboratory for people of all ages.

How does science and religion mix? Why do people think that they are somehow compatible?

Religion and science don’t mix. Okay? Science inspires free thought and religion forces you to adhere to an imaginary pixie fairy that cannot be proven by scientific means. Science allows you to question everything, religion says that if you question god you burn. Religion says that people were made from dirt, when evidence proves we evolved and have common ancestry to fish, Apes, Orangutans, etc.

When scientists tried to prove religion was a bunch of crap, religion mocked them. Come on, this is getting old, the bible is not correct.

A very big question, hard to cover in this forum. First you don’t seem to have an objective or complete view of Science or Religion, so I can see why with your bias you can’t see the compatibility.

In general terms both Science and Religion are searching for objective truths, usually with different methods but these are the goals. If you hold a logical view that real truth will not contradict other real truth, then as we search down these different paths then these truths, if they are really true, will agree not conflict with each other.

If you really kept to pure hard Science & only empirical evidence then you wouldn’t see anything that conflicts with some religions, others there would be conflicts (like the earth isn’t riding on the back of a big turtle or held by a really large guy, per our experience in space).
There is more conflict with the faith elements of Science with the faith elements of Religion. If you don’t think there are faith elements of Science then, like I said, you don’t have an objective view of Science.

Overall there seems to be a fundamental lack of understanding, and perhaps an intentional blurring, between hard natural science (based on the scientific method) that are the observable & objective facts and the man-made categorizations & organization of these facts into whatever form or theory suits us. These man-made structures may help us organize and understand the facts better, or may mislead us as well, but they are Not facts in and of themselves. Accepting these non-observable, non-testable theories as facts themselves is a leap of faith.

So you should understand that not all faith is irrational or goes against reason. Ignorant stereotyping & under-investigated atheistic dogma leads people to think this way. [1] Plus it’s poor logic to use argument by insult [2] "imaginary pixie fairy" especially when much of what you believe is also cannot be proven by hard scientific means and relies on billions of unobserved miracles that go against observed natural processes. These by faith, are accepted as occurring even though they can never be reproduced or observed by the scientific method.

The common, but limited definition of faith does not understand the concept of a reasonable faith. One based on evidence and experience that leads us to trust a God who has a proven track record. You are under the Kierkegaard’s definition of faith is opposed to reason [3], which is not the case in the real world, except for blind or under-investigated leaps of faith.

As beings of limited perceptions and limited knowledge we rely on many things by reasonable faith just to get through the day. So when we say we know something, we usually have reasons. These are based on our personal experiences or the interpretation of available evidence. And as we are taught by others what they know, our trust in them as a valid source of truth also builds into this web of reasonable faith. We should continue to challenge things we take on faith and see how firm they are and if they are based on blind trust or objective truth.

This is the kind of reasonable faith we can have in God & Jesus as Lord.[4] The kind that has proven itself and continues to do so again & again in history and archeology etc.

So as a student of Science & Christianity, I have not found any incompatibility with any of the hard facts of either. There is no fact in science, history, archeology, etc that is denied in the Bible.[5] [6] In fact much of the Bible is considered real history by National Geographic and The Smithsonian. And is often used to help archaeologists [7] make discoveries. So much so that the Smithsonian Institution’s Department of Anthropology has an official statement on “THE BIBLE AS HISTORY.” In it they say:
"… much of the Bible, in particular the historical books of the old testament, are as accurate historical documents as any that we have from antiquity and are in fact more accurate than many of the Egyptian, Mesopotamian, or Greek histories. These Biblical records can be and are used as are other ancient documents in archaeological work. For the most part, historical events described took place and the peoples cited really existed."

I know it is easier to just insult & dismiss what doesn’t agree with your worldview bias. But if you really think you are rational and open-minded, please really look into the evidence and don’t assume it isn’t there because you have never really looked into it yourself.

Hope this helps you at least understand another view, even if you don’t agree with it.
“faith is not a substitute for knowledge, but the response to it.” Udo Middelmann





Science is Dead

Science is Dead

 

I’ve just finished reading a few articles involving science teaching and felt compelled to write exactly how I feel about the status of the subject as it is today in New Zealand and possibly the world. I’ll probably be labelled a male chauvinist but facts is facts! Because I’m ‘old’ I can say, “When I was young….,” and get away with it.

For my first formal exam in the sciences I remember learning by rote hundreds and hundreds of diagrams and hundreds and hundreds of formula etc in order to pass with a reasonable mark. I crammed all this information into my brain in order to regurgitate in the form of answers to this National Exam.

 

The exam was divided up into two parts. The first was a quick 20 short answer questions. They didn’t have multi-choice; you just had to know the answer. The second was made up of four long answer questions that you chose from a battery of six. Each was worth 20 marks the same as the short answer questions making 100%

 

In order to answer these four long answer questions I had committed to memory the entire year’s work from A to Z along with all the diagrams and passed with a mark of 88%.

 

Now to the point I’m trying to make. All of my science teachers were men. Every one of them was a science graduate and taught nothing else but science. They knew their stuff and they spent the whole lesson imparting their specialised knowledge to me (and anyone else who would listen). Fifty years later I still have that body of knowledge firmly fixed in my head and am able to call on it at any given time. You might ask of what use is that?  Literary people will tell you that in order to think you need a vocabulary and so it is with science. Before you can solve the world’s problems or design a Middle School Science Project you need to have some “vocabulary” of science.

 

You cannot expect children to tackle the intricacies of technology unless they have some background knowledge of science. I have watched the “Discovery Learning” method of teaching come and go. The only children who actually learnt from this were those in the upper classes who had a fabulous vocabulary and a family of clued-up parents. The less academic had absolutely no idea what to do or even where to start.

 

I’ll give you an example. I asked each different class to list for me the adaptive features of a mosquito wriggler. I had brought along a jar full that morning. I even put one on the overhead projector so it was enlarged on the screen. After half an hour of struggle to even get them to see that it didn’t breathe under water I tried the “Guided Discovery” approach and what a difference it made.

 

I was able to get many, many concepts across to the students I taught because I had an in-depth knowledge behind me. Even when I got it wrong in front of the class, nothing fazed me. I admitted the mistakes and we just looked harder at why it happened that way (intellectual honesty).

 

Many schools in New Zealand, and I would imagine all over the world now, are full of women teachers. This is for a number of reasons that I won’t even attempt to explain at this time. Just believe me they are. I remember these women who accompanied me through my teachers’ training school years. They were the ones who handed in huge assignments to the lecturers that were full of butterflies around the edges; large, elaborate headings, in large folders composed of hand-made recycled paper. Embedded in these ‘Science’ plans were tangents that went from the central theme of Butterflies to: a butterfly dance; an art lesson on butterfly wings; children’s songs about butterflies; fairy stories involving butterflies and a PE lesson on flapping their wings like butterflies.

 

This attitude and approach to science has absolutely pervaded our classrooms. The children do so many other options around the periphery of the main theme that the topic of “The Life Cycle and Adaptive Features of a Butterfly” actually disappear. The actual science is forgotten.

 

Another disturbing development of our so-called science programmes is that women teachers tend to stick to the Earth Science topics and only pay lip-service to the Physical and Chemical Sciences.

 

The sooner we get back to actually teaching science as pure subject, that is allowed to stand on its own, the better for our children.

How important is science to a career in Psychology?

I find it hard to understand science and was just wondering how important it is that I complete a science course in yr 11 or 12 (college). If so what kind of science should I do? What other subject would you suggest I do??
would someone with little science understanding be able to pass Biology?

It probably won’t be required by your degree program, but it might be required by your college’s general education requirements. My wife got a bachelor’s in Pscyhology and her only science course in college was Earth Science 101.

Now if you’re talking Psychiatry, science is crucial. But for psychology, not so much.





How much science do occupational therapists actually need to know?

How much science do occupational therapists actually need to know? I am interested in OT, but hate science and have a hard time comprehending it. Will I need to do a lot of science to become an OT?

Occupational therapy programs contain a lot of science, also tons of anatomy and physiology. You must know every aspect of the human body and how it works. Its a tough program, but you can do it if you really want it. Best of luck to you.
