Thinking With Somebody Else's Head

Vaccines have been sold as essential for our survival. And we're vaccinating a significantly larger number of kids because of it. Many hospital boards and health care systems even link incentive pay for executives and directors to their pediatric immunization rates. But there's more than a conflict of interest going on here. Vaccinations, it appears, are downright dangerous. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Re-thinking Vaccines. Well, get ready to have your eyes opened. Dr. Roberto Giraldo has brought something very interesting to Brazil since moving here from New York City. Giraldo is a Colombian medical doctor with a speciality in infectious diseases and immunology. He's worked a lot with AIDS patients all over the world and has much to say about the inverted medical system he's worked in for over 40 years. And he's been talking lately with Dr. Norberto Keppe. Keppe is the scientist behind Analytical Trilogy, which is the science I base these programs on. And they've been talking incessantly about the bad science Louis Pasteur brought to the world, and the forgotten enius of Pasteur's contemporary, Antoine Béchamp. We'll explore that a little more in our program today. If you start investigating the vaccine business, you're in for quite an eye opener. First of all, be very clear about this: vaccinations are a business. Forget all the drug industry hype about protecting our children, this is a profit-based endeavor through and through. A couple of years ago, independent market analyst, Datamonitor, commissioned a report from a vaccine analyst - and who know there even was such a thing. Hedweg Kresse was her name, and in this report she discussed the future outlook for vaccine profits. Turns out she's predicting that the introduction of high priced vaccines will induce some rapid growth in the pediatric and adolescent vaccines market. She's predicting that that market's goint to quadruple by 2016 across the U.S., France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the U.K. and Japan. They're projecting it. That means they're going to make it happen. The crucial factor, what'll make these stupendous profits possible, is the "introduction of a product into national vaccination schedules." This means they're preparing product, and marketing it through highly paid lobbyists to government officials in these countries. And then slipped in ominously right after this comment is consultant Kresses' admission that this product introdution into national vaccination schedules virtually guarantees market expansion and high coverage rates in the target population. "Coverage rates." My God, the language. That means the numbers of people who are vaccinated. You can just imagine the directors of the vaccine companies hashing it out with flow charts and projection sheets. Talking about windows of opportunity and profit margins and return on investment. Kind of chills the blood, doesn't it? But you know what else guarantees that these new high priced vaccines are adopted by various national vaccination schedules? Reimbursements. That corporate speak for payments to directors of hospital boards and health care systems based on the immunization rates they achieve in their institutions. So they're paid bonuses if they increase immunizations. That doesn't leave a very warm feeling in my heart either. With all this need for marketing, it makes you wonder about the efficacy of the marketed product, doesn't it? Kind of like junk food lobbyists pushing for their product's inclusion in school lunch programs. It's "good business" but I'm pretty sure the kids aren't going to benefit all that much. And so it is with vaccines - a dubious medical procedure with little good science behind it. Now I know this is a shock. Anything that cuts directly against the prevailing point of view always raises the hackles of some. But vaccinations, like Pasteur's Germ Theory itself, is something that's been marketed - peddled actually - by some who stand to make a ton of money by p

It's a philosophy deeply entrenched in our North American view of life: make your money work for you, leverage your investments, make money while you sleep. But hidden behind these strategies is a massive trap. Money, which is supposed to be a means, has become the ends. Today, capital is more important than your mother. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Redefining the Relationship Between Work and Capital. One of my students, a Director at a large European supermarket chain, was lamenting the plight of human beings after returning from his summer vacation in Europe. "People seem lost," he said. "They seem very far from the basics of life. Then he went on to make an interesting parallel. When he was a boy growing up on the French island of Martinique, he became fascinated with bee-keeping. He learned the basics from his dad, then began to branch out to develop his own bee hives. Marked by a strongly competitive nature and beset with the rivalry that commonly springs up between sons and fathers, he set out to see if he could overtake his father's honey production. He studied and researched the latest bee breeding techniques to learn how to maximize production, do more with less, ramp up his production to steroid-high levels without increasing his investment substantially. He imported queen bees from France and America, bred them with his local product, and very shortly achieved impressive spikes in production levels. He admits to feeling a certain power in this, a sensation that he was creating some kind of super bee that would lead the way to continuously higher quantities of honey. But his success was short-lived. Hybrid bees, it turns out, are much more fragile than natural ones. They bred quickly and produced a big jump in honey output over the short term, but were genetically weaker and more sensitive to fluctuations in environmental cycles. What's more, their breeding cycles were totally out of sync with nature's. Bees would breed robustly, then fly out of the hive looking for flowers to pollinate, and the flowers wouldn't be out yet. Over the long term, my student realized, mucking around with nature had disastrous - and expensive - side effects. In our discussion, we were making the connections between the philosophy underlying his desires to out-produce his father, and the mania in business today to produce ever increasing profits based on projections and stockholder demands rather than natural business cycles. "If I'm to have any possibility of meeting those imposed financial goals," he told me, "Something's going to have to give. I'm going to have to take shortcuts somewhere - with employee relations or salary limits or even business ethics." So look at that dilemma. We're all twisted up inside because of exactly this struggle. Our megalomania causes us to impose our will on natural cycles so much, bending and twisting and changing everything to fit with our "getting more for less" philosophy, that we completely screw up the greater system. And then, oh, do we suffer! Because it's hard, sometimes impossible, to find our way back. Wasn't that lament exactly what Dante was articulating when he wrote, "Half-way upon the journey of our lives, I roused to find myself within a dark wood, for the straight way had been lost." This program based on Brazilian psychoanalyst and social scientist, Norberto Keppe's science of Analytical Trilogy, is an attempt to help us find the straight way again. I am always open to hearing from you about these themes. rich@richjonesvoice.com Today, we'll focus in on how much we've strayed off the path and gotten all twisted around in economics. My colleague and fellow teacher, Sofie Bergqvist, joins me today to provide some illumination provided through Keppe's book, Work and Capital. Click here to listen to this episode.

Wagner believed in Mozart, Beethoven and God. Not necessarily in that order, but in all three. Schumann called music the language that permits us to converse with the beyond. Artists carve mythology into stone and record history on canvas. So maybe it is true that through art all men are saved. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Art and Transcendence. Whenever any of my colleagues here at the International Society of Analytical Trilogy bring art and esthetics as a classroom subject, the energy changes in the room. The students, often tired and stressed out after long days, perk up and something beautiful happens. In fact, one of my good friends down here, Helena Mellander from Sweden, a very gifted singer, was recently giving a lecture to a select group of human resources professionals down here in Brazil about the leading edge strategies for dealing with stress that are emerging out of Dr. Keppe's science of Analytical Trilogy, and as part of her lecture, she sang a couple of songs. Well, let me tell you, it had a magnificent impact. Everyone felt it - the combination of knowledge/reason, and feeling/intuition. "There are certain moments that come along where your life is different afterwards," said one participant. "This was one of those moments for me." Art and spirituality go hand-in-hand. Well, they used to anyway. Consciously. But spirituality is always present with great art of any discipline. Keppe has always recognized this, and has written that art and esthetics is the basis of civilization. And incidentally, I'm writing this as I'm preparing to head off to our 6th Festival of the Arts at our Grande Hotel Trilogia in Cambuquira, Brazil this weekend. There are some wonderful things happening there that I'll be letting you know more about as time goes on. Our initiatives there are serving to bring the place to life, and it's been let go for many years, so we are witnessing a great comeback now. It's in a beautiful part of Brazil, nestled among coffee plantations, the verdant Atlantic Forest and some of the best mineral waters on the planet. It's a forgotten town in a jewel of a setting, but it's receiving new lifeblood now. As always, you can get me anytime by email if you want to know anything more about everything we are doing down here: rich@richjonesvoice.com, and I'm always happy to hear from you. Our Trilogy portal also has more information. Today, musician and Analytical Trilogy teacher, Fabrizio Billioti joins me to talk about the arts and transcendence.

He revolutionized the field of medicine, and has numerous institutions named after him for his efforts. He was one of the most celebrated scientists of his time, and a giant in medical circles even today. He supposedly proved the Germ Theory of disease, the basis of most medical education. But Louis Pasteur's science was highly questionable. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Debunking the Germ Theory of Disease. Well, we are entering sacred territory today on our program. Pasteur's ideas have been sacrosanct for at least a century, and all significant medical research is based on his proposals. The multi-billion dollar industry that is cancer, AIDS and numerous other disease research initiatives if firmly entrenched in our western world, as is the powerful pharmaceutical industry, and even the areas of immunology and vaccination. Not much of modern medicine is untouched by Pasteur's influence. But in looking at his life, you enter a world of subterfuge, deception and just plain wrong conclusions that were cynically adopted by Carnegie and Rockefeller in the U.S. and used to influence medical research and education in most of the developed world. And for one distinct purpose - to sell pharmaceuticals that there were developing form the waste products from their coal and oil industries. That's right ... there were serious ulterior motives at play in the promotion of Pasteur's questionable scientific conclusions. Not the first time this has happened of course. Henry Ford was instrumental in leading the move in America for the creation of the suburbs. "We shall solve the city problem by leaving the city," he stated, thereby combining his social vision with his economic self-interest. You can sell a lot more cars if people are commuting back and forth for miles every day. This blatant manipulation for economic reasons is not new to us, is it? Were any of us surprised to find former vice-president Dick Cheney's company, Halliburton, picked to lead the re-building of Iraq shortly after its former CEO pushed so hard for the war that would necessitate the re-building? But what may surprise you is that there was an entirely different scientific view than Pasteur's being elaborated at the same time - in total opposition to Pasteur's ideas - and this science is the more certain one, as proven by research in many locations, including our International Society of Analytical Trilogy here in Brazil. And, of course, 2500 years of Chinese medicine. That more complete science came from the formidable research of French biologist and medical doctor, Antoine Bechamp, and who has ever heard of him? Incredible, isn't it? His work is far more in line with Dr. Keppe's studies in psychosomatic medicine, and this truly deserves our attention today. As always, you can check out all of our work on our Trilogy portal site, or email me anytime and I'll guide you in the right direction so you can learn more about Norberto Keppe's great science. Today, medical doctor and infectious disease specialist, Dr. Roberto Giraldo joins me to talk about Bechamp's lost but important science. Click here to listen to this episode.

The literature is full of advice about what you need to do to attain it. You'll hear loads about purpose, about forming habits, about listening and motivating and focus. And we read the books and watch the videos and pop in the CDs on the commute to work. We do the visioning they recommend, we pay for the coaching. But we're missing one important understanding. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, the Psychological Habits of Highly Successful People. This is a follow-up to a Podcast I produced a month or so ago with psychoanalyst, Leo Lima. Leo joins me again today to penetrate a little deeper into this area of success. To be honest, this is not something we understand well in North America actually. For all our focus and purported reverence for it, I think we just feel, frankly, traumatized by the subject - or at least by the focus on only one aspect of success, that being the financial/fame aspect of it. We've had decades of Dale Carnegie and Napoleon Hill and the thousands of others with the recipe for success, and if we haven't achieved it within those narrow parameters, don't you think we start to feel a little desperate? Either that or we just check out completely, look at it all with an ironic and disparaging gaze, host another martini or hug another tree and congratulate ourselves for living a balanced life far from the craziness of the corporate climb. But this misses the point, too. Because there is something to all this success stuff. We don't have all this focus on it for no reason. The problem is we're asking the wrong questions. Instead of worrying about what we need to do to achieve success, what time management system we need to adopt or what habits we need to strengthen, we need to understand a metaphysical point: success is natural to the human being. We are made for this already. It's not something we need to build or reinforce - although there is certainly work and effort and discipline required. The whole thing is much more subtle and profound than that. We have all we need to operate at maximum capacity already. But we have attitudes - psychopathology in Norberto Keppe's language - against that capacity. This is some pretty revolutionary research that's being revealed from the International Society of Analytical Trilogy in Brazil where I produce these programs. And the content of Thinking with Somebody Else's Head arrives from these pioneering discoveries about the psychological and spiritual state of the human being. Our psyche, it turns out, has been understood, and its comprehension through Dr. Norberto Keppe's science leads us to far different conclusions than the vast bulk of published material that graces the book shelves and TV talk shows up to now. This makes Keppe's work among the most vital knowledge available on the planet today, which you'll hear in a moment. Keppe divulges all of his wisdom in over 30 books that contribute significantly to the intellectual treasury of mankind. You can explore those on our Trilogy portal site. I'd also like to invite you to participate with us in our call-in psychology show, Healing Through Consciousness. Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco, vice-president of Keppe's International Society of Analytical Trilogy, joins me every week to take your calls and questions about specific areas of your life that you'd like some clarification on. We record every Monday at 2:00 pm ET - through Skype. Healingthroughconsciousness is our Skype name, so just enter us in your Skype contact list and you're set to go. Joneshealing@gmail.com is our email address if you prefer to be more anonymous. So today, I asked Leo Lima to join me again to continue our discussion about success. We had a lot of very positive response to our Re-Defining Success Podcast a few weeks ago. So let's dive in again to the Psychological Habits of Highly Successful People.

The biggest 20th century one killed millions. An outbreak in the mid-20th century killed far less. '68 was the last big one, but back in the '90s, a flu bug supposedly from birds caused a panic for awhile in Toronto. I was affected by that one, but not by fever or other tell-tale symptoms. Nope. The Rolling Stones canceled back then ... and I had box seats. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, let's take a critical look at the Swine Flu. We're very impacted by inverted science, as we've explored many times on this program. Scientists since Pasteur see all sorts of nefarious things in the microbes swimming in their Petri dishes. We have vaccines for this, medicines for that, radical radiation treatments to kill this and that disease. But we miss a key point when we look down at the microbic level to find the source of our maladies, and that is that disease doesn't really come from that level. Our materialistic philosophy introduced by Aristotle's great inversion that we understand reality through the senses has led us deeper and deeper into the quirks and quarks, and further and further from the universal understanding that Aristotle's master, Plato, suggested was inside us. "Infused science" he called it, saying we were born with it. Brazilian psychoanalyst and social scientist, Norberto Keppe, agrees with that. He talks about the universal concepts we possess. "Divine concepts inside the human being," is how he puts it. And this corrects Aristotle's metaphysical error: the lesser things don't create the greater, we could say. Meaning tiny viruses could never really CAUSE our maladies. They're there many times, but what lets them take hold is something bigger - the state of our psychological lives, which directly affects our immune system. Dr. Roberto Giraldo is a Colombian doctor, a specialist in internal medicine with a major in infectious diseases and clinical tropical medicine, and he's perhaps a perfect guy to talk about this. He works with AIDS and cancer patients all over the world, and he doesn't believe much in the Swine Flu scare. Click here to listen to this episode.

Everyone has weighed in with opinions on the subject. The comments flow endlessly from book titles and magazine articles. Our predominating materialistic world view limits our discussion of it to fields of money or fame. But as our defining economic structure crumbles before our very eyes, we'd be well advised to try to redefine it. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Re-defining Success. Before we begin, I'd like to remind you of our other radio project ... a new show I'm developing with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco, a frequent contributor here, called Healing Through Consciousness. This is a program focused on offering advice and counseling to you for any problems or difficulties that you want help with. We regularly take calls and emails to delve deeper into those difficult problems that you haven't been able to solve or get on top of. All the information about how to participate is on our site. Or feel free to write me anytime: rich@richjonesvoice.com There is much exciting and important emerging from the Brazilian school of Analytical Trilogy, the science I base these programs on. Our radio programs develop and spread those ideas, so do take the time to find out more. You'll be glad you did. We've approached the idea of success in a popular Thinking with Somebody Else's Head program way back in January of 2007, but I'd like to come at it again, this time from a little more metaphysical point of view. We're very limited in talking about success today because of the economic bias we bring to any discussion on the subject. From the Forbes List to winners on the Apprentice, we give a lot of airtime to success defined by an extremely narrow range of parameters. And that makes us very shallow and it deteriorates our cultural and even intellectual experience. Lily Tomlin expressed it well when she said, "Sometimes I worry about being a success in a mediocre world." Amen, Ms. Tomlin. What's the value of that? But there is a hunger for more. There has to be. Tell me there is. It's why I'm putting all this energy and time into this Podcast. Actually, we see evidence that people are seeking more in the acceptance of Norberto Keppe's TV show around the world - and Keppe's show is the polar opposite of the completely irrelevant discourse that defines today's TV talk show. And there's more evidence, too, in the worldwide acceptance flowing to Britain's Got Talent winner, Susan Boyle, an ordinary, anything but the usual collagen-lipped, air-brushed, made-by-marketing, limited talent wonder we're normally spoon-fed by our mediocrity-addicted media. We're hungry for authenticity. I often think of Keppe's Analytical Trilogy like the water of truth on our parched earth. So let's look at success in that light today. Psychoanalyst Leo Lima joins me today. Click here to listen to this episode.

Hundreds of years before the meteoric rise of Cisco Systems or Qualcomm stock prices, Semper Augustus tulip bulbs were selling for the price of a house in Holland. Tulipmania was in full swing in the 1600s, and it looked much like the dotcom madness of the 1990s. It crashed eventually, of course, but caused little lasting damage. Could the same thing be true today? Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, the Stock Market Crash's Silver Lining. Of course, it should be pointed out that in all the madness surrounding the trade in rare and exotic tulip bulbs, the Amsterdam Stock Exchange never got in on the deal. Madness it was, with speculators brokering deals in taverns and bars, and some bulbs changing hands 10 times in a day. It's not much of a stretch to fast forward to images of amateur day-traders hunched over PCs and trying to make fast cash on gambling that kozmo.com stock prices will go down at some time in the future. But the big difference between 1636 and 2008 is that our stock markets, from the Nasdaq to the Nikkei, are heavily involved. And so today's worldwide stock market crash is marked by at least 2 things that distinguish it from the Holland of the 1600s: 1. It's worldwide 2. It's having a big impact on the economy Could there really be anything good about this? Well, not if you're looking at the situation form a traditional point of view. But the economic view of someone who understands the psyche of the human being and the distortions of society that spring from that psyche can shine a lot of light on the situation. This can help us see what's going on from a new perspective, and can even lead the way to correcting our distrotion and setting society on the right track again. We've looked at this aspect of the impact of Man's psyche on society in a number of our podcasts, and I encourage you to look through the Thinking with Somebody Else's Head archives for those. I can steer you in the right direction, of course, at rich@richjonesvoice.com Gilbert Gambucci has been studying Brazilian psychoanalyst Dr. Norberto Keppe's economic viewpoint on all this for the past couple of months and is putting together a blog to explore many of Dr. Keppe's ideas - especially as they relate to society. That blog - featuring great video of Keppe - is at www.promiseland.info. Check it out. Gilbert joins me today to explore the silver lining behind the crash of the stock market.

Its victim list is a long one that includes some of the most famous personalities of the 20th century. But it's the less well-known stories that make us catch our breath. The quiet, intelligent teenager down the street who overdoses. The cousin who doesn't make it through rehab. The childhood friend who gets in with the wrong crowd and is shot in a drug deal gone sour. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Drugs and Power. It's been awhile since I've posted an episode of TWSEH. I've been busy with a new and related project to let you know about ... a live radio call-in show I've been conducting with Dr. Claudia Bernhardt Pacheco, vice-president of the International Society of Analytical Trilogy here in São Paulo. Claudia's a much in-demand Trilogical psychoanalyst with extensive international experience in treating all manner of human relationship, health, work and personal issues. My idea for the past copule of years has been to create a forum where she and I could take live calls from listeners and offer our unique perspective on the problem. You see, I receive many emails from listeners to this Podcast asking specific questions about problems or difficulties. There's the young woman from the Balkans who's terrified of AIDS. The young guy in the Pacific Northwest who's concerned about his inability to stop sabotaging his relationships. The 2 brothers who struggle with depression. I help them as much as I can - I do special Podcasts on the themes, I write personally to all who write to me, I suggest books and other resources. But I cannot do what a psychoanalyst trained by Dr. Norberto Keppe can do. Keppe's science of Analytical Trilogy is vast, and provides an analysis of the human psyche that no one - not Freud or Klein or Jung or Rogers, any of them - was able to accomplish. And that means that when this science is applied in a therapeutic way to personal or social issues, the analysis that emerges is right on the target. And that's what we want to do with this live call-in radio show. We're calling the program, Healing Through Consciousness, and all the information is on our site at www.healingthroughconsciousness.com, or of course you can email me at rich@richjonesvoice.com. This show is a marvellous opportunity to get some real overview of your problems or issues or questions about anything. So do join us. Our Podcast today is taken from our program actually, and entails Dr. Claudia's long response to a listener's question, about ... drugs. That enormous social problem. And the war on drugs? Welll, that's a deceiving name. Anyone who saw Ridley Scott's American Gangster film saw the movement of drugs into the U.S. from the Vietnam War. Afghanistan opium production climbed back to 96% of the world production after the American-led invasion there after 9/11. In some circles, the introduction of hallucinogenic drugs into the changing consciousness of the '60s was a direct plan to subvert that idealistic movement. And then there's the CIA's Bluebird Project to remember - a planned study to analyze the effect of drugs on mind control ... and we can imange what's happened with all that research. So when the question came up on our Healing Through Consciousness show, Dr. Pacheco jumped right into the heat of it. She's no stranger to the issue in truth, having published a searing critique of the role of governments and so-called law enforcement agencies in organized drug trafficking back in the late '80s. The American Drug Multinational she called it, and it pulled no punches. And Claudia didn't pull any punches in how she answered our caller's question either. Click here to listen to this episode.

They're forecasting possible energy price hikes of 30 - 50% this year. On top of a recession, it's hardly good news. We've been warned about this for at least 30 years, but we've been dinosaur slow in adapting to the warnings. Obama's got his New Energy for America Plan ... but is it possible we're too late to change? Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, The Keppe Motor: Revolutionizing Science, Technology and Energy. You know, sometimes there's so much happening at our International Society of Analytical Trilogy in São Paulo, Brazil, I literally don't know where to begin to bring you up to speed. The revolutionary discoveries and landmark psycho and sociological wisdom emerging from this Brazilian school of Analytical Trilogy founded by Dr. Norberto Keppe are impressive. Dr. Keppe's TV show is now being aired in 45 countries and 221 channels worldwide. Episodes of this podcast have been downloaded over 250,000 times. Our newspaper here has a weekly circulation of 50,000. Dr. Keppe's clinic is one of the largest private clinics in Latin America and is home to ground-breaking work in psychosomatic medicine coordinated by Dr. Claudia Pacheco - a frequent contributor to Thinking with Somebody Else's Head and my co-host on an upcoming live Internet radio call-in show on bbsradio.com beginning March 10, 2009 at 10:00 a.m. ET. Well, there's lots more to say, but you get the picture I'm sure. This is a hot-bed of the newest research into human potential and psychological science. And it's rock-solid stuff, let me assure you. No matter what area you want to enter - relationships, health, money, corruption and power, the arts - you'll find a persepective here that is new, fresh, provocative, and causes us to re-think most of what we think we know. In a good way. Check out our portal site to get an overview of some of what we're doing: www.trilogia.ws Maybe the hottest development here these days is the Keppe Motor, a light-years development in the capturing of free, essential energy. Let's find out all about that, and something about the revolutionary new physics principles behind it, too, with one of the inventors, engineer Cesar Soos. Click here to listen to this episode.

Philosopher David Hume called it the most contentious issue in metaphysics. Actually, nearly every major figure in the history of philosophy has weighed in on the topic somewhere in their work. Free will ... the capacity of rational agents to choose a course of action from among various alternatives. Is the issue really that complicated? Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Liberating ourselves from our free will. Well, Hume was right. The issue of the free will is contentious. And I'll be diving into the controversy, too, in a moment. A fascinating subject. But first, a number of you have been writing to ask that I let you know about the new call-in radio show I'm launching with world-renowned author and psychoanalyst, Dr. Claudia Pacheco. I'm not surprised there's so much interest. You who've been listening to this Podcast over the past year and a half must've come to appreciate the clarity and wisdom of the science behind this show. It's called Analytical Trilogy, and it's not an easy science to encapsulate in a sentence or two. Analytical Trilogy is essentially a union of theology, philosophy and science that gives us a comprehensive view of the psychology of the human being and the reflections of this human psychology on the greater social structures we live within. Our political structures, our wars, our education systems of lack thereof, our environmental challenges ... all have their birthplace inside the human psyche. And no one in history has clarified that better than the man behind Analytical Trilogy, Dr. Norberto Keppe. Whether it be something every psychologist or human potential workshop leader has weighed in on - like depression or self-esteem or self-sabotage - or something no one talks about - like the psychology behind the pathology of power - when we turn the Trilogical lens on the topic, you hear a perspective you've never heard before. And it lands. It feels right. It just "makes sense," as many of you writing to me have confirmed. And we'll be doing that kind of analysis, live, with Dr. Pacheco and I taking your calls and emails and answering your concerns personally. Can you imagine how impactful that will be? So, I'd like to keep you informed about that. We're projecting our first show to be on Mar. 10 at 10 a.m. ET (NY time) on BBS Radio - bbsradio.com But do get on my mailing list to stay informed: rich@richjonesvoice.com. Looking forward to hearing from you. Now, today, liberty and our free will. You know, we in the western world have this idea that we're really free, and that we're also really quite socially evolved. We have recycling programs in place, we're advanced in our social programs. And we also think that we're super tolerant and welcoming of all other points of view and cultural traiditons. Well, certainly we have that idea in Canada. We pride ourselves on our open-mindedness. But underneath our politically correct external persona, there is a high degree of censorship and intransigence. And all that means we're not really so accepting after all of ideas and philosophies that stray from what we perceive as our superior beliefs and ways of doing things. Go against that, and you'll find you're not really free to give that opinion. Sofie Bergqvist is a Swedish educator and lecturer and translator of a number of Norberto Keppe's books, and she joins me today. Click here to listen to this episode.

We've heard the spin. The rhetoric-loaded speeches that gave us goosebumps. The hand-on-the-heart pledges that promised to lead us out of the darkness. The words from the speechwriters are scarily simple to speak. But after we're all softened up, after we're primed for change, we usually get ... more of the same. Will it really be different this time? Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, Obama: Hope and Virtue. Well, this is a topic I'm more than a little interested in. Hey, I'm a product of the '60s. I've still got a little of that revolutionary flame burning in me. The same flame that burned bright for a decade or so before it dimmed in the face of assassinations and Watergate and too many strange chemicals in our bloodstreams. And, of course, the "greed-is-good" mantra intoned in stock market boardrooms that carried the promises of easy money and double-digit returns on investment to any where were quick enough to jump on the bandwagon. And now that has played itself out and revealed itself to be nothing more than what we should have known it was from the beginning - and empty promise. Empty, why? Because it was based on an inverted philosophy: that it was good - even possible - to get something for nothing. You know, the scientific discoveries that I base this program on have a powerful finality: they allow us to analyze what's going on in us and our world through a clarifying lens, and that lens is a profound understanding of the human psyche and our society, which is, after all, just a reflection of what is going on inside of us. And through this science we can conclude that life, it turns out, is not a confounding conundrum or unsolvable riddle at all. Some conclusions have been reached about us and the universe we inhabit, and those conclusions have arrived through the work of an extraordinary scientist, Brazilian psychoanalyst and social scientist, Dr. Norberto Keppe. I've been exploring this on these podcast for the past year and a half, and I'll be expanding my discussions of Keppe's synthesizing work of Analytical Trilogy - a bringing together of science with philosophy and theology - in a new Internet radio show that I'll be launching in mid-March, 2009 with Dr. Claudia Pacheco. This'll be a live call-in show where we'll address specific problems and questions brought by callers and those who write to us. This will give you a first-hand look at how Keppe's Analytical Trilogy sees the human condition and the society we live in. Get on the mailing list to be kept informed of that: rich@richjonesvoice.com Keppe's perspective on our problems is refreshing and clarifying, as you'll know if you've been listening regularly to this program. And one of the things he noted right away when he moved to New York in the early '80s was the incredible decadence the country had fallen into. Every area was in decline, and this was being hidden by the appearances of prosperity that were being given off by the enticing profits on Wall St. A lustre we now know to have been polished by considerable deception and smoke and mirrors. Keppe warned us of this at the time - warned us that moving away from ethics and goondess and beauty would continue to bring disaster. And now we're smack in the middle of the crisis he predicted. And Obama seems to be hip to that, admitting that we need to be more responsible, more ethical, get back to work. We need to "put aside childish things," as he put it. I'm joined by a couple of American today, and together we'll look at Obama's promise of hope and virtue through the lens of Analytical Trilogy. Click here to listen to this program.

Unemployment rates are the highest in 16 years. We've got massive foreclosures and forecasts of trillion dollar deficits. Our kids have A.D.D. Everything we touch causes cancer. And our football team missed the playoffs. Again. No doubt about it ... living in the 21st century is bringing a lot of stress. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, we'll dig deeper into what really causes our stress ... and more importantly, how a therapeutic science from Brazil can help us finally understand and deal with our admittedly stressful world. Here at the beginning of 2009, we have a pretty bleak outlook. Well, it's time to offer an anti-dote to all that. Some hope, if you will. And the moment I say that I realize how trite it sounds to our jaded ears. We've heard it all before, haven't we? This book, that 10-steps-to-a-greater-you, this magic pill. We're caught between wanting something to believe in and having been disappointed so many times we've stopped believing. Almost. We're cynical, sardonic, ironic as hell. But one of the problems is that we've been looking too much outside ourselves for resolution. It's tough to resolve our essential problem out there because the source of our difficulties lies inside here. And what we're exploring on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, what forms the basis of all our work at the International Society of Analytical Trilogy here in São Paulo, Brazil is a comprehensive science that gives us the consciousness needed to treat those inner demons. Norberto Keppe's Analytical Trilogy is a union of theology, philosophy and science that really fills in the blanks of our understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. As a listener wrote recently, "Keppe's greater principles make a great deal of sense." And sense is what we'd like to continue bringing in 2009. Let's try to make sense of stress today. We have a lot of if in our world. Helena Mellander is a Swedish journalist working in our Trilogical companies here in Brazil, and she's also been working for some months now to develop some deep health programs for companies based on Keppe's work. One of the principal reas of concern in these workshops is dealing with stress. Click here to listen to this episode.

We put up the decorations. We send out the cards with the heartfelt wishes for peace and goodwill. We sometimes sing the songs. But the desires for peace on earth and remembrances of the real meaning have long been obscured in the frustration of finding a blasted parking spot. Joyous Christmas time is not much of that anymore. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, let's re-visit the True Meaning of Christmas. I remember in my youth waiting for the Christmas spirit. That elusive feeling of peace and spirituality that would kick in at some point in the holiday season. It could be a cold evening visit from a group of carollers that did it. Or a visit from a much-loved but little-seen relative. Or maybe Scrooge's transformation in the annual family viewing of Dickens' A Christmas Carol. And now I'm dating myself, aren't I? It even starts to sound like I'm talking about the 19th Century! But it was something that did take over at some point: the Christmas spirit. For a short time, all would really be calm, all would really be bright. But around 2:00 pm on Christmas Day, we'd all start to feel the restlessness kick in. No stores to go to. Nothing open. Nothing to do. Actually, maybe that's why they instituted Christmas Day NBA games. Everyone just go too bored. And I don't think it's any coincidence either that the 26th - Boxing Day in Canada - is the biggest sales day of the year in my country. People are so jumpy they'll start lining up at 5:30 in the cold morning to be the first to slap credit cards on the counter to get the deeply discounted Blu-Ray DVD player or next year's Christmas wrap. But let's try to return today if we can to remember the true spirit of Christmas. Let's see if we can't overcome our materialism a little to have a new spirit this year - and one that is much needed. Dr. Norberto Keppe's Analytical Trilogy gives us a beautiful perspective - a theological, philosophical and even scientific insight into what should be our most precious and spiritual time of the year.

Everybody has theories about what's causing our current economic breakdown. Those raised on the French philosophy of Sartre and Voltaire might lay the blame at the feet of society. More existential thinking would point the finger at individual responsibility. But only Norberto Keppe's new science gives us the tools to do a more complete analysis. Today on Thinking with Somebody Else's Head, we'll look at the roots of our destruction, and what we have to know about ourselves in order to stop, which is the crux of the thing, isn't it? I'm Richard Lloyd Jones. Well, one of the very clear problems we run into when tackling the issue of what's going on these days is that we always wind up in the same place. There's this theory over here, that one over there, 3 more somewhere in the middle. How in the world does the ordinary citizen make sense of it all? There are so many problems in so many areas. The Comptroller General of the U.S. shocks us on 60 Minutes by talking about fiscal cancer and all that entails. Al Gore's excellent documentray warns us that the catastrophic deep freeze produced by special effects wizards in The Day After Tomorrow movie could actually happen. Fanatics talk about Divine retribution. You can get an earful in whichever direction you turn. But is there any way to boil all this chaos and crisis down to something chewable? Is there any way to point to an overarching and principal problem? And perhaps more importantly, if there is a defining explanation, can it also offer us a solution or two? I think "yes" on all those counts. You see, our difficulties begin in our way of seeing and relating to the world. We and the society we live in are products of what's going on in our philosophies of life, in our psyches. And there's one point from which we must start in considering this: we are not the latest editions of the human species standing on the most recent rung of the evolutionary ladder. We're not like software upgrades - the latest version with considerable improvements over Zinzanthropus Man from several million years ago. This is a key aspect of Brazilian psychoanalyst, Norberto Keppe's work: that we have all perfection inside us. As nature is complets, so are we. Our problem is that we deny and even destroy what we are. This makes our problem not one of not having arrived, of not knowing any better. No. It's more serious. We know what is right, what we should do individually and collectively to have a better world, to have the paradise we should live in. We know ... but we don't do it. This is something deep inside the human psyche, which is why it took a psychoanalyst to discover it. Dr. Norberto Keppe's work is totally about helping us understand this dynamic. And it's what we explore all the time in this Podcast. And what we'll be expanding into an Internet radio show coming in January. Make sure you get on the mailing list to be informed about that: rich@richjonesvoice.com That show will be conducted with psychoanalyst, Dr. Claudia Pacheco, who joins me on today's podcast as well.
