Become More of Who you Truly Are

If we had more Don Tolmans in this country, we would not be overweight, have diabetes, heart problems, and a medical - pharmaceutical complex that takes billions out of our economy each year. He Rocks!

Don Tolman

A Modern Day "Einstein" of Self-Care & Self-Education...

Don Tolman has been referred to as a modern day "Einstein".

When you experience his raw genius for the first time and the

brilliantly captivating way in which he delivers his profound

message, you'll see why.

Don will take you on a truly amazing journey of discovery by

introducing two major revolutions that are upon us - Self-Care and

Self-Education. The centrepiece of his powerful message is an

understanding as to how you can live a life free from disease by

embracing the 7 Principles of Health.

Don has worked with some of the world's most prestigious cancer

institutes throughout his journey. Called in by Doctors to provide

alternative perspectives to traditional treaments and therapy, he

has guided countless patients ‘written off’ by the medical system

back to full recovery.

Don is also an expert in creating applied pre-imagined curriculums

of accelerated learning where he teaches adults and children to

maximise their learning, creativity and achievement through

Imagination.

Known to thousands as a brilliant public speaker, Don has travelled

the globe delivering his unique and empowering presentations. He

has been a return guest on the Donahue Show, Entertainment

Tonight and ABC Talk Radio in the US and Mornings with

Kerri-Anne in Australia. TV talk show host, Phil Donahue, stated

upon Don appearing on his show, “Like what he says or not; it’s

people like Don Tolman who, in their own unique way, will impact

social change.”

His revolutionary discoveries in the field of whole food nutrition

earned him the right to speak at some of the world's leading health

and technology organisations such as the Massachusetts Institute

of Technology (MIT), the Health Research Academy at Cornell

University in New York City and the prestigious Johns Hopkins

Hospital in Baltimore.

Don’s commitment to learning about health and the human body is

evidenced by the fact that he has completed a 40 day, water-only

fast, 3 times and has also inspired many others through this

incredible, ‘health-transforming’ experience.

In 2006, in Australia he jammed switchboards after appearing on

Channel 10 and in New Zealand a planned 5 minute TV interview

on The Good-Morning Show extended for 35 minutes, such was the

interest in what Don had to say.

Don is a distinguished communications facilitator and

vocabulary-enhancement trainer. He has studied in-depth, areas of

applied behavioral and cognitive science, as well as neurology,

semiotics, operant conditioning and Gestalt Theorem.

Through his experimentation with nutrition and extended fasting

and his experience in applying the 7 Principles of Health to many

terminally ill patients over many years, Don has also made it his

mission to inform people about how to de-mystify disease and live

a healthy life full of happiness and vitality.

In 2006, after 3 years in the making, Don released his much

awaited, 1,600 page, 2 volume, encyclopedia of wholefood

medicine, the Farmacist Desk Reference. Today, Don travels the

globe sharing the wisdom of Self-Care and Self-Education with

thousands of people through his events and programs.

Want to Go Through Eight Turbocharged Lifetimes in a Day?

user-pic Want to Go Through Eight Turbocharged Lifetimes in a Day?
By: Bean Jones

Spielberg.jpgBy the Book. If all you need to know is Steven Spielberg's business moves, you don't need to read over 400 pages to get the information you want.


Biographies are great reads, but there are times when you wish that you could have easy access to all the highlights of a certain person's life. This is especially true for those who want to focus on, say, the career moves of the movers and shakers of the industry.

Cashmap Lifelines: 2009's Wealthiest Americans is a course that features insightful "maps" to the lives of Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, Michael Dell, Larry Ellison, Bill Gates, Steven Spielberg, Donald Trump, and Oprah Winfrey.

The Cashmap Lifelines maps systematically pinpoint the milestones that contributed to the success--as well as the setbacks--of each person's life. It even features icons for easy reference.

Snapshot 2009-05-27 13-41-17.jpg

What's even cooler is the fact that each Cashmaps Lifelines map consists of just one page. Thus, you can indeed go through eight biographies in just one day. You can even print out each one and take it with you.

A Call For Conscious Evolution

A Call to Conscious Evolution
Sponsored by: Evolutionary Leaders
The Obama administration has contacted the Evolutionary Leaders Counsel to solicit a visionary
statement on how to transform our planet. Their brilliant response is below. If these luminous
principles resonate with you, please copy the link below into your computer web browser
to sign on as a supporter of their letter of intent.
President Obama asked that any statement made by the Counsel be supported by at least
10,000 signatures; the goal is 100,000.  Our current count is over 35,000.  We can gather at least a million signatures, since we Cultural Creatives now comprise one-fourth of the U.S. adult population! So please spread the news.
As the Hopi Elders predicted, that "We are the ones we've been waiting for." Now it's time
for us to stand up and be counted.

Statement By the Evolutionary Leaders
The human family is in the midst of the
most significant transformation of consciousness
since its emergence in Africa over one hundred
thousand years ago. Consciousness has been
evolving for billions of years from the first cell
to us. We are becoming aware that through our
own consciousness the universe can know itself.
This awareness reveals incredible new potential
for our individual and collective humanity.
Simultaneously, we are the first species on
this Earth aware that we can destroy ourselves
by our own action. This may be the greatest
wake-up call to the evolution of consciousness
since the origin of Homo sapiens.
We now realize that we are affecting our
own evolution by everything we do. This knowledge
awakens in us the aspiration to become
more conscious through subjective practices including
meditation, reflection, prayer, intuition,
creativity, and conscious choice making that accelerate
our evolution in the direction of unity
consciousness and inspire us to deeply align our
collective vision.
THE CHALLENGE
At this juncture in human history, urgent
global crises challenge us to learn to live sustainably,
in harmony and gratitude with one another
and with the living universe. The changes
required of humanity are broad, deep, and far
reaching. Only by acting swiftly and creatively
can we birth a planetary culture that will bring
well-being to every form of life in the Earth community.
The good news is that a compelling new
story of our potential as a whole human species
is emerging - a story of collaboration, citizen action,
dialogue and new understandings propelled
by unprecedented levels of democratic freedom,
multicultural exchange, and access to communication
technologies. It is nothing less than the
story of our collective evolution.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACTION
We recognize that the inner and outer aspects
of life evolve together. A dramatic awakening
in consciousness will involve an equally
dramatic shift in outward aspects of our lives. In
particular, we see the following as vital opportunities
for our conscious evolution, both personally
and collectively:
Cultivating a Paradigm of Aliveness: We regard
the universe as deeply alive and conscious
by nature. In a living universe, our sense of subtle
connection and participation with life around us
is the basis for a compassionate and cooperative
approach to living.
Educating for an Evolving Consciousness:
Awakening consciousness is the foundation for all
the change we seek to see in the world. We can
work to elevate our capacity for conscious reflection
and creative action in our personal lives
as well as our collective lives as communities. We
must support research and educational strategies
that optimize human capacities and explore the
nature of consciousness.
Restoring Ecological Balance: The balance
of planetary ecosystems is fundamental to our
survival. We must reverse the pollution of our
global commons - the water, air and soil that
nourish all life. We must encourage the proliferation
of clean, renewable energy sources and expend
all necessary resources toward mitigating
the effects of climate change.
Encouraging Conscious Media: We must find
innovative ways to use the new electronic media
as the mirror of our positive evolutionary story,
investing in their capacity to reach across differences
of generation, culture, religion, wealth, and
gender to build a working consensus about our
collective future.
Engaging in Social and Political Transformation:
More sustainable ways of living will require
the support of a more conscious democracy and
vibrant civil society from which more enlightened
leaders will emerge. All individuals should be encouraged
to use their gifts to create participatory,
responsible and compassionate models of governance.
Working for Integrity in Commerce: Conscious
businesses that are aware of the scope,
depth, and long-range impacts of their actions
are key to achieving sustainability. Business must
become an ethical steward of the Earth's ecology
and consciously establish an economic basis for a
future of equitably shared abundance.Promoting
Health and Healing: The science of mind-bodyspirit
health has demonstrated the profound connection
between the health of a whole person
and the health of the system in which he or she
lives. Whole systems healing, respecting both traditional
knowledge and modern sciences, must
be supported in physical, social, and spiritual domains.
Building Global Community: The new story
is about all of us who share this planet. Together,
we can create a culture of peace that eliminates
the need for armed conflict, respecting and appreciating
the glorious diversity of our human
family. YOUR PARTICIPATION IS VITAL
Our group has done its best to articulate
possibilities for the evolution of consciousness
at this crucial moment in time. Please reflect on
this document, feel what resonates in your being
and calls forth a response on your part. We
invite you to discuss it with others, continuing this
global conversation by adding to it the wisdom
that is uniquely your own.Together, let us co-create
a new narrative of conscious evolution that is
a call to individual and collective action, birthing
the most significant transformation of consciousness
in history.

Getting to an Exceptional Life

     I want to share with you some thoughts I'm having this morning.  My life in the last few weeks has really become joyous, and I asked myself: What am I doing differently to create these wonderful days?  I suspect the following has a direct causal influence on the difference I am experiencing. 
     The first activity that I have incorporated into my daily activities is: Exercise.  I get a good start to each day by my morning walk.
     The next thing I do, almost from the moment I awake, and throughout the day is Giving Thanks: I thank God, Allah, Source, The Universe, Universal Mother, by whatever name fits for you, for all that I have, and appreciate all the people, material goods, Nature's bounty, and abundance that I now am Blessed to have. 
     The third, and probably the first I put into practice was a good healthy diet:  I eliminated meat and dairy products from my diet; not for religious purposes, purely for the harmful effects they produce in my body.  I also started eating mostly live foods, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, grains.  (and I bless them both before and during meals)
      Another change was: The associations that I allow to be a part of my life: no longer am I willing to associate with Negative people or influences such as Most News Organizations, so I seldom watch the news, no longer spend 1 - 1/2 hours reading the NY Times daily.  Those I do associate with are those both virtual online, and in real life who are positive about life and living.  Those who are inspirational: Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Bob Proctor, James Ray, John Assaraf, and many others too numerous to mention.
     When my TV blew up, I realized that almost all of the time I was devoting to it was not adding anything really to my life's purpose; just a way of wasting those precious moments one by one.  I now use the new tv to watch inspirational or educational videos that are so much more valuable.  Did not bother to re-subscribe to the cable tv.  
     A result of all this is that now I constantly look for ways to contribute to others.  I became a giver.  (Let me share with you it is one heck of a lot more fun than being a taker, always looking out for "What's In It For Me").
     So, what's in my future?  At least one book, authored and published.  I'll be a motivational speaker, I am a darn good coach and continue to develop my coaching skills.  Women have re-appeared in my life, and that really is fun - been a long time absent in that area.  Or as some say in Texas YEEEEEEEE   HAAAAAAAAA.
     Oh, one activity that I know from past personal experience is most helpful is Meditation.  I shall be incorporating that into my life also.
     Isn't this life a wondrous journey?  (Even those parts that while going through them seemed to be the most horrible)

Jim Rohn's Challenge

"Let others lead small lives, but not you.
Let others argue over small things, but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.
Let others leave their future in someone else's hands,
but not you."

Jim Rohn
