Over the past several decades, the quest to develop the ultimate machine for achieving optimal human development has accelerated, whereas Mike Hu, the premier writer/speaker on understanding conditioning, maintains that those efforts are unnecessary and often counterproductive, for it is the human being itself that is the embodiment of this supreme intelligence, and all that is necessary to access its remarkable capabilities is an awareness of those functions. In this 60-minute video classic, he begins by reminding viewer/participants that the beneficial effect of exercise is simply that of producing optimal, efficient respiration and circulation, and ironically enough, that can best be achieved by moving the parts of the body which are generally overlooked -- the head, hands, and feet -- except when they fail to function properly due to this neglect. Yet even then, the remedy for the deterioration in these areas never seems to include the well-proven observation that increasing the circulation specifically and directly to those areas, is the basic, primary maintenance of every individual.
The basic movement emphasizes maximal respiration capabilities, while a variation shows how once these fundamentals are understood, there is no limit to its bodybuilding/strengthening potential, because the body provides its own resistance safely and naturally, in adding a "twist" to the movement. It's all so logical and self-evident that one will likely comment, "Why didn't I think of that sooner?" Sooner or later -- it doesn't matter; some things just can't be denied.
Just as he did in revolutionizing the dialogue on Understanding Conditioning, Mike Hu turns his attention to observations on personal financial management, stock market investing, Values, and the evolving world picture -- in terms nearly everyone can understand. If you have always wanted to find an inviting discussion on the stock market phenomenon and how easy it is to participate, this 60 minute video is for you, while market pros' will recognize the basic truths that they so often lose in trying to outsmart the market with their complicated schemes. Particularly noteworthy are his pioneering insights on the use of margin debt, tax implications, trends of the evolving 21st Century consciousness, and life in all its considerations.
Probably the greatest challenge to freedom in these times is not the threat from "the outside" but the enemy among us who insists they know what is best -- for our own good, and we the people, should never be allowed to make those decisions for ourselves. Many, on hearing this, think nothing of it -- for those others are the "experts," and who are we to dare to question that authority? The authoritarian personality pretends to this unquestionable authority while the real authorities and authors of original ideas fully expect to be challenged -- and welcome them. These latter knoww that if it is a matter of inquiry into the truth of these matters, they can take on all challengers; that makes their day. Meanwhile, the pretenders only can insist ever more forcefully that you must believe that they are the experts, and for that reason, don't have to account to anybody. These are con-artists and are found in every field of human activity. They have to be challenged.
Independent writer/researcher Mike Hu focuses on life at the cutting edge of innovation and discovery -- which he feels is largely a conditioned predisposition available to all people, no matter what economic or educational status. Certain subcultures discourage this independence and integrity of thought -- preferring to achieve compliance through coercion, intimidation and subjugation, and so there is always the struggle for those who will dominate and those who will be led -- which is a waste of precious energy.

*State-of-the-art Health products worth a try: Ionic Breeze air filters, air-support sleep systems, full-spectrum compact fluorescent bulbs (6500k or higher), guaifenesen as an anti-aging, anabolic (bodybuilding) supplement -- obviating the need for any other. It is used effectively in the treatment of fibromyalgia, as well as being the common ingredient in most cough remedies. There is no known negative longterm side-effects but with apparently, many longterm positive ones. What is surprising is its effectiveness at pain relief -- as in arthritis, etc. A Harvard researcher notes that it is one of the most effective muscle relaxants and natural sleep inducers. Probably the great "undiscovered" nutraceutical of this time. A must for smokers and those with chronic respiratory symptoms. Curiously, but not surprisingly, the label advises against taking it for longterm, chronic symptoms. Read this fascinating unfolding story that promises to revolutionize how we regard many of the chronic conditions we've come to regard as the normal experience of "aging" and deterioration -- through the above "guaifenesen" link. It's a whole other world and gives a powerful thrust to the concept of alternative medicine/health practices. It seems to have the same restorative, anabolic (bodybuilding) effects -- without the negative side-effects of steroids.
