ONE OF MY HEROES
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin

DR. ANTHONY FAUCI Bravery, courage, and valor. This is the name of a value.  I use a test to identify the 10 top values of a client.  These values are never wrong.  A person may be a long way from them, may be wandering or lost with these values, but they are always there.  And once they are identified and the person is used to the one or two that don’t sound like them, everyone remarks about how much they learn about themselves, and how they never have to ask, “Who am I?” One of the exercises I use is to ask each client to identify a “hero” who has that same value. Then we ..read more

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES….

..….is wrong in the decision NOT to require owners of businesses over 100 to require that their workers are vaccinated. And this is why. The basis of law is not a morality based on anything but this: The highest order of law is to insure the value of human life. It is not to insure the value of individual rights first.  Individual rights are subject to the same morality: the value of human life. An employer is responsible for the health of his/her employees in the workplace when there is a vaccine that protects other workers from getting a disease because they are not vaccinated.&nb ..read more

MY INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS ARE?
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin
2y ago
What are they?  What do you think they are, these “individual rights” that allow you to say “I do whatever I please,” or “no one is going to push me around, no one is going to take away my rights.”  Your reasoning has evolved to what I would call stage 4.  You have gotten to a place where you got away with doing this in one way or another.  Even you believe that you have individual rights that can’t be crossed.  Write them down.  What are they?  Your individual rights are accountable to what, to whom, to what standard?  You have some lame idea of your p ..read more

You Are Wrong

You think getting vaccinated is an infringement on your individual liberties? YOU ARE WRONG It is time for President to Biden tell the nation that vaccination is not a personal freedom if you want to be a free American. It is not a matter of individual rights, it’s a matter of having to recognize the greater good of the democracy and the health of the larger community.  If you want to be an American, get a vaccination. At this point it is not a matter of individualism or individual rights. The moral choice is what is a world emergency and for democracy, which guarantees the rights o ..read more

Conversations That Change Us Forever
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin
2y ago
ANCHORS. There are conversations that have made us who we are. These conversatons anchor us throughout our lives. They change but theuy remain the same. And we return to them to find who we are. Who did you share them with? What were you doing when you did? How were they being? What was this guide’s striking characteristic? What made them different? You stopped your usual banter & didn’t defend yourself. If you did, it was short-lived, you forgot it, or you had to stop it. You stopped defending you. You stopped blaming. You stopped that sputtering thought & talk & you listened. At ..read more

TOO HOT TO HANDLE
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog

Your life was too hot to handle.  You couldn’t do it any longer.  Sleepless nights and anxious days and always wondering who saw, who knew, who could tell.  One day you told them; you were gone.  Work, school, a job that was the best job, a career start and you were primed and supposed to be good.  It got the best of you.  Even if you are still there pretending.   You talk to a therapist about it.  You took pills and stopped because they made you………not what you thought and not helpful.  One a day in the toile ..read more

We have gone through a period of quieting everything down.  I remember when someone told me that they were not going to wait for a new normal, they would wait to welcome back what had been.  A few months of sitting alone from much of what we did before, of not driving and going, of stillness, has given us a time for reflection and a time for new learning.   We found out that we didn’t want to commute.  We started to calculate the amount of time on the road.  All of the new technology like Zoom, which had been preceded by Go to Meeting, came ou ..read more

Unequal Access to the Promises of Freedom
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin
3y ago
Unequal access to the promises of freedom is the result of a “law and order” mentality of self-righteousness and hubris. It’s been a long time since I posted on Facebook. It has been a time to reflect and to focus my attention on what is emerging. I took the time to research and build the next tier of this work. I could not have imagined that the research and work I was doing would have what’s happening today as the evidence it is for what I’ve created.  Self-sabotage seemed a long way off from what people wanted to even hear about. Now it is a world-wide phenomenon. It is what we’re in ..read more

THE BRAIN’S BIGGER PICTURE
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin
5y ago
The left side of the brain, the left hemisphere, is that part of the brain that all through our lives helps us grow in our capacity for secure, healthy attachments and more workable, comfortable and loving relationships. Insecure, unhealthy attachments come from negative feelings and from DownSpiral living. The DownSpiral narrows us, makes us suspicious and insecure, so it easy to understand why insecure or unhealthy attachments of any kind are the outcome of narrowing 
and negativity. Secure attachment that is easier and more reciprocal comes from UpSpiral living, where positive feelings an ..read more

LIFE ON THE SIDELINES
The Applied Neuroscience Institute Blog
by Dr. William K Larkin
5y ago
Everything nicely in place in your life? Feeling settled and contented? We have allowed a culture of youth, driven by consumerism, to be the cover for our retirement from the task of growing wiser, more expansive, keeping busy creating the rapid interconnectedness of billions of neurons that are building the complex stages of reasoning, possible only in the later stage of brain development. We learn to become spectators far too early in life, living life on the sidelines, dimming our belief that our evolving brain is in high gear, all the days of our lives. The evolution of the brain and its ..read more
