Then God, that entity we have never - [Am I a soul with a body, a body with a soul? or just a sophisticated body?](https://prometheum.ca/i-am-a-soul-with-a-body/) - Have you ever wondered why anyone, when asked to define themselves, will immediately describe their personality, mental attributes, or - [I am not an addict](https://prometheum.ca/i-am-not-an-addict/) - I am not an addict. I am a person. I may drink alcohol, use drugs, or indulge myself in activities that give transient pleasure because they allow me to feel good or less bad. Every time I pursue one or more of these options I do it decisively. I want it. And my desire to I am not an addict. I am a person. I may drink alcohol, use drugs, or indulge myself in activities that give transient pleasure because they allow me to feel good or less bad. Every time I pursue one or more of these options I do it decisively. I want it. And my desire to participate even though I may know it is both transient and potentially destructive is driven by the need to feel good. This may mean that, at that time or as a pattern in my life, I do not feel good – about myself, within myself, or in my reality. These options provide a ready, easy, certain feeling of pleasure without effort. - [Blog Posts](https://prometheum.ca/blog-posts/) - An Argument on purposeby albert | Jun 22, 2023 | Blogposts | 0 CommentsWhat is your Purpose? An Argument on Purpose If those of us who see the human form as an evolution of organic matter are correct, it is natural and correct for our sense of purpose to be survival, both of the species - [Module6](https://prometheum.ca/module6/) - Apply a strong self to your social reality. Other people are perhaps the greatest source of adversity. This is because everyone has the ability to either use reason or react with basal instincts depending on which they have used predominantly. The more another person uses reason, the better it is to relate and communicate, but you cannot rely on that. The more they rely in instinct, the more they will further alter whatever is the common challenge. And with so many people, each seeing the same thing differently, this can create a real conundrum. So you must be the one to use reason and elevate yourself or you will, like others, be inclined to aggressively defend your perspective, go along for the sake of peace, or avoid others sometimes to the state of isolation. - [Module4](https://prometheum.ca/module4/) - And discover your purpose. Discover the purpose of life – to know… to keep knowing. The body will die. That is inevitable. The mind cannot die. Build it so it is strong. Do not dismiss it for the sake of survival. This will perhaps be the most difficult area of logic and you may have to examine some lessons more than once because I will introduce you to some elevated scientific arguments – relativity, quantum mechanics, chaos and complexity – that will offer irrefutable proof of this argument. It is absolutely necessary so that you can build a sense of purpose that is more sustainable than the natural one of survival. Survival is the purpose of all lower species… and it is self-limiting, isn’t it? - [Module5](https://prometheum.ca/module5/) - Apply a strong self to your physical reality. Now that you have a different but more logical and purposeful sense of life, I will lead you to apply it to your physical challenges. You will begin to see that adversity happens, not to punish or hinder you, but to give you an opportunity to use them to build knowledge, the only attribute or asset you will always have – even when you cannot display it. It is only with this new attitude that you will be able to face adversity comfortably and accomplish because you feel empowered rather than seek to feel empowered because of what you may have accomplished. - [Module3](https://prometheum.ca/module3/) - Now discover your BEING. The third thing you have to know is that adversity is food for the erudition of the mind. Erudition – a big word but one that is appropriate. It means development in knowledge. Think of it. You are born with a body that is fully formed. Everything that will work is already functioning. You really do not have to do a single thing just to live. Of course you must feed it and rest it and use it for it to function, but its function is natural and automatic. Look at what you know. The mind is born empty. Everything you know now, you put it there. And if you do not work to get and build that knowledge, it will not be there. Knowledge is not automatic. I will use reason (that you already have) and judgment (that you can and will expand) to help you build that knowledge and continue building it independently and progressively. - [Module2](https://prometheum.ca/module2/) - Now, discover your world. The second thing you will be introduced to realize is that life IS hostile and unpredictable… by design. Bad things do not happen because of the punishment or neglect of an almighty. Things happen… oblivious to you. The earth belches. People attempt to make it comfortable to them, but in doing so, they disturb it further for others. And when we are not prepared, these actions can devastate or even destroy… the body though not the mind. (I will show you this) Thus, there is no such argument as something that SHOULD NOT happen. It happens. You are there. period. - [Youth and Drugs](https://prometheum.ca/youth-and-drugs/) - Therefore, waiting only delays the inevitable. Treating the coping strategies does not fix the real problem. Fixating your focus on the behaviour or the feelings will never allow you or them to solve the real problem. You have to help them discover and appreciate themselves. And that means getting them to realize that their world - [Communicating](https://prometheum.ca/communicating/) - And this activity is both inaccessible and volatile. Nowhere is it more necessary and urgent to learn to communicate than with the people who regularly share our environment and affect our wellbeing. In the workplace, it is the boss as well as the client, the colleague as well as the subordinate who can initiate actions - [A Good Leader](https://prometheum.ca/a-good-leader/) - What Makes a Good Leader? It is said that, in the early ninety fifties a large management firm was recruited to analyze and discover what makes a good leader. Apparently, after several years of research and interviews, they came up with the finding that, "A good leader is a tall man". This may be a - [Communicating in a Family Unit](https://prometheum.ca/communicating-in-a-family-unit/) - Communicating in a Marriage or Family Unit The need to communicate effectively in a marriage or family unit is perhaps one of the most challenging responsibilities we must face today. It is a responsibility because a relationship is the most dynamic area of life, dynamism that is based on the hidden, individual thoughts, desires and - [Chaos and Complexity](https://prometheum.ca/chaos-and-complexity/) - If we can do this experiment, we will also notice something of great significance. The impinging particle will be repelled in unpredictably different directions each time it is directed at the sphere. We know that this is because the sphere is actually a particle moving so rapidly that it is approaching any location from a - [Analytic Approach to Behaviour](https://prometheum.ca/analytic-approach-to-behaviour/) - In other words, we do not have to teach a person how to have healthy behaviour. That comes naturally, but only if the person’s Secure Reality is large enough to allow function in that area. But to achieve this, we must be willing to help them go deeper, to look for more than behaviour or - [On Management and Stress](https://prometheum.ca/on-management-and-stress/) - What is the Understanding Change position on mechanical stress? Since the activities that create a mechanical stress are constantly occurring there is no real state of calm that can be achieved or expected. Perfection is a pipe dream. Management of a stress cannot then be either the suppression of its evolution or the attempt to - [Mental... Illness?](https://prometheum.ca/mental-illness/) - Thus, if there is an abnormality in behaviour or mood, the person is seen to have either a disorder or a corrupted representation of himself (since physical maturity should confer emotional maturity). Often, we do not say this; we simply act out the expectation. In other words, in this line of thought, the problem exists - [Is Addiction a Disease?](https://prometheum.ca/is-addiction-a-disease/) - Is Addiction a Disease? Or a Choice? Addiction is not a disease! It is actually a completely reversible condition. To see this, let us examine what a disease is, and then look at whether the addictive behavior qualifies as such. The Webster dictionary defines a disease in two ways. First, it is a disordered or - [Understanding Stress and Distress](https://prometheum.ca/understanding-stress-and-distress/) - . - [A Look at Psychotherapy](https://prometheum.ca/a-look-at-psychotherapy/) - Psychotherapy can be a useful tool Freud’s concept of repressive neurosis where he presents the notion that a person’s normal development can be repressed by a traumatic experience has held sway for many years. More recently, new techniques have been proposed to help the therapist reach deeply into the patient’s emotions either for better effect - [Self Respect](https://prometheum.ca/self-respect/) - This process is not very different for the human being. We too have the equivalent of a tensile strength. In our bodies it is formed by the biochemical and physiological activities that maintain the integrity of the body. In our psyche, integrity is defined by the emotional attributes of wisdom, the courage that drives it, - [Coping Systems](https://prometheum.ca/coping-systems/) - Coping Systems. Coping systems are those options we use to help us survive or cope when life throws us a curve. Coping systems depend upon immediate reactive actions that are not initiated through logic. They are used to help tame the immediate threat and so survive its demands. Such stresses may come from an expressed - [Value Systems](https://prometheum.ca/value-systems/) - Therefore, waiting only delays the inevitable. Treating the coping strategies does not fix the real problem. Fixating your focus on the behaviour or the feelings will never allow you or them to solve the real problem. You have to help them discover and appreciate themselves. And that means getting them to realize that their world - [Self Esteem](https://prometheum.ca/self-esteem/) - Some people end up having little Self-Esteem and they show fear, self-doubt, and a hesitancy to display themselves as they do not feel comfortable revealing the insignificance of what they see as themselves. Some people build a fragile Self-Esteem. They use any external attachment to display a bigger picture of themselves and so feel comfortable - [Lesson from the Canoe](https://prometheum.ca/lesson-from-the-canoe/) - The Lesson of The Canoe Have you ever seen a person who has never been in a canoe before try to canoe?
