Does this mean that our pal Pete won’t be sending posts to OTBKB anymore? OTBKB’s loss and Full Permission Living’s gain. Stop on by every now and again, Pete.

My new blog is called Full Permission Living.

Full Permission Living is an approach to healing and self-actualization, but moreso, it is an approach to living life as it is naturally meant to be lived.

Full Permission Living is the based on the understanding that human beings are, by first nature, sane, loving, cooperative, creative, humorous, intelligent, productive and naturally self-regulating. Full Permission Living rests on the foundation of truth that all people are entitled to live pleasure-filled, spontaneous, lives without guilt, shame or oppressive inner rules and prohibitions.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are indeed our inalienable birthrights, and all human beings do have the potential to become “healthy, wealthy and wise,” as the founders of our country realized in writing about the nature of freedom and living according to natural law over two centuries ago. It is our accumulated oppressive beliefs, individually and en masse, and the suppression of emotions that has caused us to lead lives of “quiet desperation” or engage in destructive acting out. The good news is that now, we stand at the threshold of a new era in which humanity can realize itself to be a beautiful, magnificently designed, perfect expression of the great “I Am” of the Universe, living with full permission to be exactly who and what we are.

Some of the topics that we’ll talk about on the FULL PERMISSION LIVING blog will include:

– The true nature of the Self. Who we really are as human beings, and what our rightful place is in the Universe. We will look at a variety of ways that we have come to define ourselves and how those definitions influence how we experience our lives as a result;

– The nature of feelings. We will explore how emotions work and why we even have feelings. We will discover that our emotions, which are quite literally Energy-in-Motion, are a powerful force within us from where we create our personal and collective reality just like a perfect storm;

– How we do indeed create reality will also be one of our quite fascinating topics, incorporating not only ancient wisdom and intuitive knowledge on the subject, but also discoveries from modern quantuum physics, molecular biology and neuropsychology.

– We will even take a look at… You! Yes, you! We will examine each of the basic and quite uniquely different character structures that we form in order to adapt to and survive the slings and arrows of childhood, and how they effect everything from how much money we make and who we choose to love to the curvature of our spine and the shape of our upper lip. No one escapes from forming a character structure, but we will explore how we can escape from their crippling effects on our road to fulfillment.

Other topics will include:

– health, and how to live a vibrant, fully alive life from birth to death;

– adulthood, and what it truly means to be an adult in our times, and how to enjoy all the rights and privileges and powers of maturity;

– parenthood, and what children really need most from adults, and what parents really need to know about themselves in order to help children;

– dysfunction, and what forms our deformations take, as well as how to understand their usefulness in the healing process and in one’s own personal evolution;

– relationships, and how they are the cornerstone of a fulfilled life and how we can connect to the vastness of the Universe through our connections to other human beings;

– world events, and how each of our inner lives is reflected in the collective events that we find ourselves seemingly surrounded by;

– sex and sexuality, and how the forces of love, Eros and sex are the key and solution to every human problem there is.
