RATIONAL-EMOTIONAL INTEGRATIVE UPDATING

I have developed a method to assist individuals who are genuinely committed to the achievement of their self-liberation. I have named the method Rational-Emotional Integrative Updating (REIU).

Each person has a unique basic genetic program that defines that individual and also leads the individual through its course of life development. This genetic program has developed over the period of the four billion years of life's evolution and is passed down to us directly from our parents. Its optimal expression is achieved by a self-liberated person and is experienced by such a person as well being.

In addition, each one of us has a learned rational system and a learned emotional system, which enable us to adapt to our unique environments. For many reasons, our rational and emotional systems are generally out of date with our present realities and in conflict with each other as well as being in conflict with our basic genetic programs. This outdatedness and internal conflict prevent individuals from self-actualizing and thus cause disease (disease literally meaning deviation from the state of well being).

Civilization has been deliberately constructed to have the vast majority of individuals be used as domesticated animals to serve the agendas of a very small group. The internal conflict and outdatedness that this majority of individuals experience is no accident. Stupidity, confusion, and deviation from one's healthy genetic agenda are defining characteristics of domesticated humans and are required for civilization as it presently exists to continue.

The objective of REIU is first of all to update one's thinking and emotional responses in order to optimize one's ability to deal effectively with present day reality. In addition, its aim is to integrate the rational and emotional systems not only with each other but also with the basic genetic program in order to enhance one's self-actualization and thus one's well being.

REIU begins with a commitment to self-actualization. One directs one's life to becoming what REIU terms the True Positive Individual. A True Positive Individual is the self-actualized form of any person and will vary stylistically from one to another due to our genetic differences. A True Positive Individual is uncivilized and untamed and is, above all, self and life affirming. REIU presents a generic model of a True Positive Individual to facilitate the individual's self-transformation. It is understood, however, that the actual nature of who one is to become arises from within oneself.

Having made this commitment to one's self-actualization, the individual begins the process of updating its rational system by methodically analyzing its thoughts. It keeps what makes sense and discards the illogical, recognizing that reality works and thus has a logical explanation. Such an individual does not makes leaps of faith but operates within the limits of what it understands and accepts that at any time its understanding is limited. Nonetheless, its quest for greater knowledge continues.

REIU presents information in the form of exercises and information sources to facilitate the updating of the logic system in addition to the basic philosophical premises put forward in the book "Liberating the Caged Human Animal".

In addition to updating one's rational system, REIU strongly focuses on updating outdated learned emotional responses. To this end, it presents a method called Unconscious Updating that, once learned, can enable any learned emotional response to be updated. In the first part of my book, "Liberating the Caged Human Animal", I present a general introduction to Unconscious Updating. For those committed to the agenda presented there, I have written two more parts to the book that explain the method of Unconscious Updating in step-by-step detail.

Unconscious Updating essentially involves a technique that enables an individual to access its unconscious level of thought where learned emotional responses are developed and run. All the data relevant to one's learned emotional responses are stored in the unconscious and can be accessed and used to change these responses very much like one can change a cassette in a tape recorder. Some of the responses that may need to be updated may have developed in very early childhood, at birth, or even before birth. Unconscious Updating enables even such very early learned behavior to be updated.

Unconscious Updating presents a generic technique that can be learned by any individual of average mental ability and once learned can be applied to any learned emotional response. The two additional parts to the book that I have written present virtually all of the essential information needed to learn the method. Once the method is learned, the individual simply applies it on an ongoing basis to update whatever emotional responses are holding back its self-actualization.

An individual can learn Unconscious Updating independently with the book and some additional audio recordings that I can provide. (The second part of the book explaining the Unconscious Updating technique is available on this site in PDF format and third part to the book and audio recordings are available online to approved members. Hard copies of any of my material may be purchased by contacting me via email.). Alternatively, if one has all three parts to the book one can learn basic techniques of how to access the unconscious from other individuals experienced in this area (typically hypnotherapists). As well, I would be most happy to work personally with anyone committed to the agenda described in my book that would be interested in learning this method directly from me. I can generally teach it in the period of a few hours so that a person can then carry on independently. I would also be pleased to provide ongoing support to anyone using the method to assist in its optimal utilization. For the time being, at least, I am offering this in-person and online support at no charge.

Unconscious Updating provides the power to free oneself from being stuck in outdated emotional loops. I cannot sufficiently express how empowering this skill is. It is the difference between playing a card game and having to play endlessly with a losing hand versus discarding your losing cards in order to pick up winners.

The product of REIU is an individual committed to becoming its True Positive self, constantly examining its rational system to enhance it, and utilizing Unconscious Updating to update any outdated emotional responses that are blocking its self-actualization. It is implicit that this process of self-transformation is ongoing and lifelong. Its reward is freedom, vitality, and well being.
