It is an interesting question, because I truly have not touched this blog since the middle of 2008. So why, at the beginning of 2010 over a year and a half later, have I chosen to come back onto the blogging scene? Well, the truth is: I have not actually returned to the blogging scene in the same way that I was once present. Instead, my focus has turned over time to various new ideas, not all of which I will be able to cover here in this blog. For one thing, the amount of material that I have covered since I stopped writing here a long time ago is simply insane. It would take me forever to sit here and write it all out.

Instead what I hope to do is to write out some of the more interesting pieces of information that I stumble upon. And, in the midst of developing a lot more of my own sorts of theories I have managed to create a number of new tools, technologies, and sets of tools that are meant to be used together which I call: Mental Technologies. They will aid many different people for whatever purpose it is they choose. I am currently working on a new book which talks about something I will reveal in brief here for just a moment: it’s called the Long Term Survival Model.

The Long Term Survival Model essentially says why we are here, why we exist, in terms of Darwinian evolution. It is also a theory that attempts to bring a deeper understanding to what should be the true definition of the word “survival.” When I left the blogosphere to vanish into relative obscurity (actually it was to go to college and pursue other projects for a while) much of the internet was feasting on the fad that was: The Law of Attraction.

What did everyone quickly find out about the Law of Attraction? For one thing, we all found out: you cannot just kick back and think about something and expect magic to happen. Hopefully everyone knows that and hopefully anyone who is just entering into the whole idea will learn that entire idea very quickly. People are chasing pop culture phenomena like the Law of Attraction to try and get a handle on their own improvement.

People do not realize that most of the time they are being narrow minded in their life pursuits. I do not want to be rude and I certainly do not want to be mean to anyone reading this, but the fact of the matter is that most people fail because they only want to achieve one thing for themselves instead of wanting to achieve everything for everyone, including themselves. There is a big difference between these two concepts. For example, a person who scours blogs and the internet looking to pull themselves out of credit card debt might peruse various blogs on internet marketing or multilevel schemes – never really getting anywhere because they fail to realize the root of their problem.

The root of their problem is them.

Everything I have touched base on here actually encompasses a huge amount of information. Not only are people seeking quick fixes everywhere in today’s society, but they are doing it at an alarming rate and without a care for what the real information often actually is. Instead of being scientific, many are simply being enthusiastic. Enthusiasm is great but it is not going to tell you how to solve your financial problems or how to make you healthier or how to improve the relationship you have with your loved ones.

Science tells you that.

That is sort of a controversial statement for me to make and I realize that for many there are a wide range of truths outside of science. However, let us think about what science really is for a moment. Or rather: the scientific method, which is the key to solving any problem beyond any shadow of doubt. You first form a hypothesis, then perform an experiment, then record and measure the results, then at last: you make a conclusion. This is an oversimplified way of stating what the scientific method is, but you would be amazed how many people are ignoring even the simplified version.

Here is an example of how people often overlook rational solutions: in relationships people often get into arguments. During these arguments one person in the couple might assert “See? He/She is treating me like a jerk!” when in reality, it could simply be miscommunication. People are relying on their emotional centers rather than their logical centers. This is bad and it is flat out dangerous.

But I am not simply writing on this blog again out of pure concern for the public’s well being or anything like that. I genuinely have some extremely powerful information that I am excited to share with everyone who wishes to hear it! In the coming months, I will describe in detail what much of this content is all about.

In addition to writing a new book, I have a number of other projects under construction. While this website will receive dozens of new articles, I have literally hundreds more which will be part of students’ learning curriculum in a new training program I am designing which will be modular in design; students will be able to choose whether or not they pursue an entire program which covers various different areas all at once or they will be able to purchase individual modules which will enable them to work on specific, focused areas.

I am working on designing a school for human fulfillment. Please note that I am using the word: fulfillment here and not potential. Potential is fantastic – it means possibilities. But a lot of personal development oriented websites and many of the big “gurus” out there always talk about getting you closer to your ‘potential’ whilst I am going to be bold and say no, let us advance far beyond merely potential: let’s fulfill! Let us get to the maximum capacity!

So what all will the content on this newly refurbished website cover? In essence, the first things I hope to touch base on are:

• The science of personal development – the world has turned its back on science too much of the time in too many places. It is time we started being very honest with ourselves as to what works and what does not work! Hundreds of different personal development programs out there are teaching you to do different things but which among them actually have tested their techniques empirically, and scientifically? Are Steve Pavlina or Anthony Robbins always right? Should Jack Canfield really be credible? We shall find out!<
• Philosophic overhaul and questioning our assumptions – first and foremost I wish that people would question their assumptions about themselves. This is a hugely necessary step that I want to see happen a lot more often than it does. Instead of narrowly focusing on one problem like your finances or your relationships, why not take a more ‘gestalt’ approach and focus on yourself as a whole, for example?
• Duplication of success! – when I am successfully empowering others through this website or the products that I release I hope that those who benefit from the teachings will in turn spread the word and duplicate their success in others. Doing this will make the world a better place for others and when the world is a better place for others it is also a better place for me because we are all connected.

So keep tuning in – I look forward to getting back into this game of blogging and letting everyone know the things they have missed out on in my time away. The very first thing I will do which will be in my next post is to go over a number of things that I was wrong about in my previous writings. Yes, indeed I was wrong and I am openly admitting it!

Perhaps even more fun, I will also discuss various other topics and people who are both wrong and right, and why.

I realize a lot of you are probably coming here from search engines. Rest assured – the original posts for this website will soon be back online and fully restored. In the mean time I’ve taken the time to go ahead and put up a temporary layout and let all visitors know what is going on. I am planning on relaunching this site with a different sort of approach than what had originally been done.

Instead of nothing but the old blog posts I will continue writing a few new entries as well as shifting the focus toward some new projects. For one thing, a new book is in the works and it’s some pretty crazy, revolutionary sort of stuff. You can read all about it, plus other projects, over at my personal website, ScottLee.name, where I’ve written an entry called A Renovation of Business and Personal Lifestyle in 2010.

In the mean time, I would like to invite you to continue checking back here as things are slowly rebuilt and reinvented. Not only will all of the original posts be back online soon, but new articles and information on upcoming products I have in the works will be as well!

Where Have I Been?

Lots of places. Particularly, I’ve been working on Barton Police: The Online Comedy Series. Here’s a quick little trailer that we released a while back to get the ball rolling with the release of the first episode. We’re currently in the process of building a viewership and are working on releasing a DVD.

1/23/10 – EDIT: Everything has been fully restored. I’ll be working on new content in the coming months!
