For the last 140 years, scholars have been preoccupied with identifying the exact factors that influence one’s IQ. The numerous studies on the subject have led most scientists nowadays to the belief that one’s IQ is determined by a variety of both genetic and environmental factors, although there is contention about the exact weight of each.

The majority of studies on intelligence have shown that environmental factors account for about 25% of the differences in...

Learning what causes dreams can be directly related to what is happening in our minds when we are asleep. In many cases people who are having many dreams have things in there lives that are causing them to dream and in many cases the answer is to resolve the issue that the person has.

Some people have the relationships of their dreams, but most people don’t. Most people are secretly suffering and settling — stuck wishing things were better without much chance of change.

What’s the difference? What keeps people trapped in dead end situations?

There are three main reasons why people don’t have the relationships of their dreams.

Reason #1: Blaming their partner for the problems. “It’s all their...

Carl Jung discovered the unique method of dream interpretation. I continued his research, discovered the meaning of more dream symbols and the existence of a wild and primitive conscience that causes craziness to our conscience.

If you learn how to interpret your dreams by using this scientific method, you will be able to penetrate the hidden world of the unconscious and anti-conscience, in addition to understanding how your human conscience works. What does this mean?...

I was a huge fan of Michael Jackson.  A lot of grown men would be embarrassed to admit that, but not me.  Not only was he a brilliant performer and songwriter that defined the 1980’s which made up most of my adolescence, there was something else that caused me to feel I had a special understanding of who he was.  That something else was his longing for a lost childhood and the battle within himself to both be a man while recouping some of the lost innocence he felt...

What's with the weird title? Long story short, I made one little technical error while backing up my PC before reformatting the hard drive and lost EVERYTHING. Articles, ebooks and the latest edit of the book I've been working on for over 5 years. I lost all passwords, my virtual daily planner, contacts, programs, everything.
