Menninger Foundation

Turns out this guy was a navi- or internal navigational engineer out of Area 51 working on the SR-71 Blackbird.

So come to find out, he actually was part of the Stargate program, um, worked with the Menninger Foundation, the Monroe Institute.

And so for over a year, I was in this Twilight Learners program, which is basically, you know, you, you get little things hooked up to your fingers and you learn to raise and lower your temperature of your hands-

Hmm

So we have to use our knowledge base for understanding what's gotten in the way of the normal healthy development.

And I have a way of thinking about that, and that was developed and honed over the years at Menninger's and doing psychological testing, that people can vary in when they get a little wobbly around how they're perceiving people.

Are they perceiving accurately what's going on? Now, for the psychotherapy audience, for this podcast, that's called reality testing.

But just simply, am I reading the room right? Or people can vary on how volatile they get, how quick to trigger, how that surge of adrenaline, how fast it comes, versus how regulated they are.

I want to talk to you about surrounding yourself with the right people.

Do you know the people you surround yourself with have had a phenomenal impact on your life? I think it was Carl Menninger from the Menninger Foundation one time said, environment is more important than heredity.

The people we're surrounded by have a greater bearing on our life and our success in life than what's built into the genes at birth.

There's genetic conditioning, there's environmental conditioning.
