" I was unemployed for three years, and I gave up hope. I did odd jobs to keep my head above water. I was stressed out and anxious 24 hours a day.

Many times I thought I was having a heart attack, my doctor says it was anxiety. I used Triliminal, and it is magic. I had an idea while using it , to start a small odd job business.  

Before I used Triliminal, I never thought I was good enough. I was very ashamed with myself.

I do not know why, but I felt like Iit was ok to start this business, and I talked to my sister, who had a good job.

When she said "I believe in you Mike", I cried like a baby. I used Triliminal all night. I was terrified to start this business. Then, my whole family was all dressed and they went with me to do it.

I started my small business.

I passed out flyers and told everyone in my neighbourhood about it.

In the business ...

My wife cooks and bakes, my children delivers and I do the tough stuff, like handyman work.

Now, there is a long line of customers. From a few dollars as a day while unemployed to thousands a week, I was able to pay off our debts and buy our home. Life is getting very good."

I've noticed an improvement in myself since I've started using the Triliminal Phenoma, but it's not just me; my familly and friends tell me as well that I look and act way more confident.

I feel so good about it!

 

Gracia Montero

 

 

I've been drifting for many years and I was in total denial. I feel now that I've gotten back onto the path to regain balance and harmony in my life.

Thanks to you! It is no coincidence that I bumped into your Trimliminal Phenomena.

Deep down I was desperatelly looking for guidance and I think it was meant to be.

 

Gracia Montero


 

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of the amazing

 

 

" For the last 5 years I have been through great personal turmoil and I found it very difficult to stay motivated and focused.

Since listening to the Triliminal Phenomena program, my life has taken a remarkable turn-around and has opened up a whole new world to me. I am now taking action towards my goals, and have a clear direction and focus. The Triliminal Phenomena program has not only changed my life, but also my family." Joanna Wallace


Joanna Wallace

 

 

 

"I ordered Triliminal Phenomena and my life has changed so much for the better, I listen to the program everyday and sometimes while I sleep.

My confidence has hit a level I never dreamed ever existed. The Triliminal Phenomena is awesome, and the thoughts I have now are positive, and I find when someone says something negative, I respond with something positive, and I find my negative thoughts are gone, this all happened in a short period of time.

I also had a lot of anxiety, depressed and took an antidepressant, after listening to the Triliminal Phenomena I have not taken them since, I am calmer, I sleep better and feel better all around.

I recommend Triliminal Phenomena to anyone that is struggling with self issues or any issues. Believe me this is coming from one that grew up around negative surroundings."


Joanna Wallace

 

 

"I have had problems not being able to sleep for days before a meeting. Getting to the meeting was even harder. Everyone was telling me I'm doing okay, but they do not know how much it takes me to do it. I have tried exercises, new age music, talking to myself in positive ways, reading many books and listening to audio books. It has helped, but not enough.

So, I bought the Triliminal Phenomena program with a real hope that I would be ready to face "the music: again this year. I listened to the program for three days before my first presentation.

I slept a little better and to my surprise I was calm the day of the presentation. Even more, I was looking forward to taking the microphone. The presentation went very well, I may have even spoke too much and surprised many who know I don't like the microphone. I have to say I think the Triliminal Phenomena program has certainly helped me get on the right track."

However far modern science and technology have fallen short of their inherent possibilities, they have taught mankind at least one lesson Nothing is impossible.
Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.
By his very success in inventing laboursaving devices, modern man has manufactured an abyss of boredom that only the privileged classes in earlier civilizations have ever fathomed.
For most Americans, progress means accepting what is new because it is new, and discarding what is old because it is old.
I would die happy if I knew that on my tombstone could be written these words, This man was an absolute fool. None of the disastrous things that he reluctantly predicted ever came to pass!
Lewis Mumford (1895-1990)
Dear Sam,
We begin our series on great personalities of the 20th century with Lewis Mumford. Of course, this is only an excuse to develop our own ideas. Those who are interested in the ideas of our characters can go to the nearest bookstore and read directly form the fountain. Anyway, for the sake of those who are not acquainted with Mumford, I will draw a brief biography.
Lewis Mumford was born in 1895 (the same year X-rays were discovered by Roentgen and the Dreyfus affair was another significant success). Mumford started his career in the US Patent Office (overseeing cement and concrete), which gave him a first person insight into technological innovation processes. Later he made contact with his late master Patrick Geddes (and other great thinkers like Victor Branford). These encounters converted him into a generalist. His writing career extended over six decades in which he made significant contributions to the literature of history, philosophy, art, and architectural criticism. Perhaps best known for his work on urban planning and the study of technology, Mumford was co-founder of the Regional Planning Association of America and, for 32 years, wrote the Sky Line column on architecture for the New Yorker. He served on the faculties of several institutions, including Stanford university, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT, and was appointed to the New York City Board of Higher Education. He received many awards, as the National Medal for Literature and The National Medal for the Arts.
His first literary work was The Story of Utopias, which advanced one of the major themes of his life the utopian (technological) literature and its impact on human development. After some other minor works (which included a beautiful book on Herman Melville, 1929), he published his first great opus, Technics and Civilization (1934), one of the first historical works on technology. It was even incorporated in the curricula of technological institutes, like Cal tech, the first technological university to have a historical course. This book was, though with some doubts, technologically oriented. After the war, his point of view, regarding this as well as other matters, changed somewhat. In 1938 he presented The Culture of Cities, the first work pertaining to the other leitmotif of his life urbanism and architecture. In the forties and fifties, Mumford produced sevearl works on the human condition, sanity, city development and arts. In 1961 appeared another major work of his, The city in History, a complete survey of the city and its cycles.
In the decisive years, during the sixties, Mumford wrote, in our humble opinion, his major work The Myth of the Machine. It was partly based on the ideas of Oswald Spengler as refined by Alfred Toynbee, and, distilling nearly sixty years of investigation, Lewis Mumford brings to a head his radical revisions of the stale popular conceptions of human and technological progress. The Myth is a fully developed historical explanation of the irrationalities that have undermined the highest achievements of modern technology - speed, mass production, automation, instant communication, and remote control. These have inevitably brought about pollution, waste, ecological disruption and human extermination. And he makes a comparison - part historical and part artistic - between the state machine of the Pyramid Age and the global cybernetic techno-machine of our strange days (the Pentagon of Power).
As the generalist work of Mumford covers practically all fields of knowledge, I propose to you to focus our dialogue on the problem of technology and life (with some linkage to his other major field urbanism). Indeed, this is a hot topic nowadays (the mad cow disease issue).
Highlights of this theme are
Mumford discussion of cybernetics and the automation of automation (Wiener)
Mumford" polemics with McLuhan and the audio-visual tribe - a humbug, in LM words
And especially, his proposal to change the actual mega-technology into the life plenitude of organic polytechnology - anticipating the ecological views of today.

As you are interested in technological media (i.e. your essay on the Internet), here is a first istrike courtesy Mr. Mumford
.... It is to replace human autonomy in every form by an up-to-date electronic model of the megamachine. The mass media, he demonstrates, are apos;put out before they are thought outapos;. In fact, apos;their being put out tends to cancel the possibility of their being thought out at all. Precisely. Here McLuhan gives the whole show away. Because every technical apparatus is an extension of mans bodily organs, including his brain, this peripheral structure, by Mcluhans analysis, must, by its very mass and ubiquity, replace all autonomous needs or desires since now for us apos;technology is a part our bodiesapos;, no detachment or divorce is possible. apos;Once we have surrendered our senses and nervous systems to the private manipulations of those who would try to benefit from taking a lease on our eyes and ears and nerves, we dont really have any rights (read autonomy) leftapos; .
This latter point might well be taken as a warning to disengage ourselves, as soon as possible, from the power system so menacingly described for McLuhan it leads, rather, to a demand for unconditional surrender. apos;Under electric technologyapos;, he observes, apos;the entire business of man becomes learning and knowingapos;. Apart from the fact that this is a pathetically academic picture of the potentialities of man, the kind of learning and knowing that McLuhan becomes enraptured over is precisely that which can be programmed on a computer apos;We are now in position...apos;, he observes, apos;to transfer the entire show to the memory of a computerapos;. No better formula could be found for arresting and ultimately suppressing human development...
Well, this is my opening movement, Your turn, Mr. Vaknin.
Dear RCM,
Good to renew our dialogues. I will get istraight to the point, or, rather, to the points. I intend to deal with each and every one of them extensively - but, as is our habit, I am just mapping the territory.
1. Is it meaningful to discuss technology separate from life, as opposed to life, or compared to life? Is it not the inevitable product of life, a determinant of life and part of its definition? Francis Bacon and, centuries later, the visionary Ernst Kapp, thought of technology as a means to conquer and master nature - an expression of the classic dichotomy between observer and observed. But there could be other ways of looking at it (consider, for instance, the seminal work of Friedrich Dessauer). Kapp was the first to talk of technology as organ projection (preceding McLuhan by more than a century). Freud wrote in Civilization and its Discontents Man has, as it were, become a kind of prosthetic god. When he puts on all his auxiliary organs he is truly magnificent; but those organs have not grown on to him and they still give him much trouble at times.
2. On the whole, has technology contributed to human development or arrested it?
3. Even if we accept that technology is alien to life, a foreign implant and a potential menace - what frame of reference can accommodate the new convergence between life and technology (mainly medical technology and biotechnology)? What are cyborgs - life or technology? What about clones? Artificial implants? Life sustaining devices (like heart-kidney machines)? Future implants of chips in human brains? Designer babies, tailored to specifications by genetic engineering? What about ARTIFICIAL intelligence?
4. Is technology IN-human or A-human? In other words, are the main, immutable and dominant attributes of technology alien to humans, to the human spirit, or to the human brain? Is this possible at all? Is such non-human technology likely to be developed by artificial intelligence machines in the future? Finally, is this kind of technology automatically ANTI-human as well? Mumford" classification of all technologies to polytechnic (human-friendly) and monotechnic (human averse) springs to mind.
5. Is the impact technology has on the INDIVIDUAL necessarily identical or even comparable to the impact it has on human collectives and societies? Think Internet - the answer in this case is clearly NEGATIVE.
6. Is it possible to define what is technology at all?
If we adopt Monsma" definition of technology (1986) as the systematic treatment of an art - is art to be treated as a variant of technology? Robert Merton" definition is a non-definition because it is so broad it encompasses all teleological human actions any complex of standardized means for attaining a predetermined result. Jacques Ellul resorted to tautology the totality of methods
rationally arrived at and having absolute efficiency in every field of human activity (1964). H.D. Lasswell (whose work is mainly media-related) proffered an operative definition the ensemble of practices by which one uses available resources to achieve certain valued ends. It is clear how unclear and indefensible these definitions are.
7. The use of technology involves choices and the exercise of free will. Does technology enhance our ability to exercise free will - or does it detract from it? Is there an inherent and insolvable contradiction between technology and ethical and moral percepts? Put more simply is technology inherently unethical and immoral or a-moral? If so, is it fatalistic, or deterministic, as Thurstein Veblen suggested (in Engineers and the Price System)? To rephrase the question; does technology DETERMINE our choices and actions? Does it CONSTRAIN our possibilities and LIMIT our potentials? We are all acquainted with utopias (and dystopias) based on technological advances (just recall the millenarian fervour with which electricity, the telegraph, railways, the radio, television and the Internet were greeted). Technology seems to shape cultures, societies, ideals and expectations. It is an ACTIVE participant in social dynamics. This is the essence of Mumford" megamachine, the rigid, hierarchical social organization. Contrast this with Dessauer" view of technology as a kind of moral and aesthetic statement or doing, a direct way of interacting with things-in-themselves. The latter" views place technology neatly in the Kantian framework of categorical imperatives.
8. Is technology IN ITSELF neutral? Can the the undeniable harm caused by technology be caused, as McLuhan put it, by HUMAN mis-use and abuse [It] is not that there is anything good or bad about [technology] but that unconsciousness of the effect of any force is a disaster, especially a force that we have made ourselves. If so, why blame technology and exonerate ourselves? Displacing the blame is a classic psychological defence mechanism but it leads to fatal behavioural rigidities and pathological thinking.
