A= Attitude- One should first and foremost develop an “attitude of Gratitude” (little ‘attitude’…BIG on GRATITUDE. If you ever think that a negative attitude will earn you poistive results…read no further, you are not likely to get this. BE Open,…Be honest…Intend to BE one…One with all things…of one purpose.
B= Behaviour - We are not “how we act”…WE are want we think…this is shared by many Philosophers…many share “were are what we eat”…this is also true…or the consequences of what we eat (see below). The greatest “Quantum” leap in understanding came to me after I started understanding Quantum Physics (as well as Meta Physics) and the Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour. It is not so much as evaluating “what we see” people doing…it are the Hidden Agenda’s and the hidden assumptions people hold…all of which comes from their belief systems, values and moral integrity…now we get deep. Beauty truly is more than “skin-deep” and intention is more that “vision” eyes can see. To get to this appreciation of who people really are…and hence why they behave as they do…try coming to understand how to facilitate “Critical Discourse Analysis”

C= Consequences- We are the consequences of our behaviour and our responses to or environment…this is meant to be interpreted “Wholistically”…Whole Person, is inclusive of Internal Environments ( thoughts, feelings, morals, ethics, spirit)…and the brain chemistry that results from thoughts…but also in response to the foods we choose to eat, Physical Activity and intentional exercises (mind/body/reflection having the best resultant brain chemistry)…the least resultant inflammatory proteins…which are also a consequence of what we eat.

In Short, if we live with intention…and good stewarts to body, mind and spirit…the consequences will be positive…if we intend to heal body, mind and soul…help others.

There will be both logical consequences…you get a ticket for not wearing seat-belt because it is unlawful and unsafe to do so…there will be Natural consequences…you will get wet and cold if you stay out in a spring rain..also Natural Consequence…you are treated with a Natural Wonder consequence…if you look for the rainbow…if you are in the rain and the sun reappears suddenly (while still raining)…what does that do for your soul vs the cold wet (caught in the rain) feeling. Make another choice, …fireplace… glass of wine…feelings of warmth…and love…potential other natural consequence…tooo many glasses of wine (not logical) and yet another set of natural but many potential unfortunate consequences can evolve….now, move on to evalutate the next topic…Determinants of Behaviour…Determinants of Health….Determinants of Healing

D=Determinants- Ah yes…a HUGE topic…many streams. As mentioned it is very enlightening to begin a study of Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior. You will benefit from reviewing my other theories especially the one on Power, Oppression, Competition and Discrimination. Power is good that is not the problem….Power is the internal…what we can turn on…and turn into something good. It is the external “forces” in this Universe…the perversions of faith, grace and goodness has had HUGE consequences, That which was passed to us from the world greatest Prophets, Teachers and Wisdom of the Ages,if we capture what they trul meant, then we will do fine. The corruption that has come to most every religion , the Major ones as well as all off-shoots or New Age…and those that qualify as Cults…the brain-washing and Self-righteousness…has brought much heart-ache with them…and often price, donation or tithe…not Love.

Love is where it is at…not the Hippy-kind of love (Yes I know what I am talking about… even though not at Woodstock…was a teen through young adult during the “Age of Aquarius”.)

Intentional Living,… with unearthing of hidden agenda’s, coming to understand and evaluate the Hidden Assumptions…the Power structures…the voices heard, those voices not heard…who is the beneficiary of actions…do you take action or are just “sensitized”. It takes more than just Cultural Sensitivity…but rather Cultural Responsiveness…Depicts Action.

The Hidden Determinants of Human Behaviour are beyond Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs…but that is a good start…to appreciate the “biological” determinants,…on to Social Determinants…such as race, (this is not biologic because society has produced the discrimination that undermines /sabotages/ sacrifices of race over another) socio-economic, gender, sexual orientation,…faith/religion/culture/ethnicity. Then there are the evolving “Intellectual Determinants” -literacy, education acquirement, one’s health practices…and whether we are open to and learning about consequences of choice (such as healthy, fresh food of refined product of fast food) The final and most important determinant (one that impacts all others as it has to do with intention and ethical/moral responsibility as well as the purpose and meaning of life) is the the “Spiritual Determinants”, this too impacts choice…typically more than intellect…align with spirit and you make the right choice, because it is the right thing to do,…period. Intellectuals can trip themselves up…and more damaging is when they are corrupted to use their intellect to spread false truth…this unfortunately is happening at and increasing rate. “selling out to the highest bidder” has seduced some of the most brilliant of researchers.

Commit to it not being you…you could be corrupted if we step out of spirit to be seduced by the biological, the social…or the intellectual.

Learn to Love…if anything else you could do….learn to Love…and you learn to live.
