The
State
Of
Affairs
Massachusetts,
the
state
or
Commonwealth
where
I'm
located,
is
embroiled
in
political
scandals
as is
many
states
at
the
present.
The
federal
government
has
their
scandals
as
well.
Both
sides
of
the
political
spectrum
and
in
many
departments.
Companies
of
various
sizes
and
scopes
are
also
in
the
news,
seemingly
daily,
for shenanigans
of
their
own.
The
Catholic
Church
even
has
their
horrendous
scandals.
As is
other
religious
and
supposedly
sacred
institutions.
Wherever
one
looks
these
days
throughout
the
world
including
at
the
smallest
level
in
marriages
and
families
to
the
entire
world,
scandal
upon
scandal.
Issue
upon
issue.
Problem
upon
problem.
What
am I
saying
and
why
am I
bringing
this
State
of
Affairs
up on
this AGS
Life Academy
site?
How
does
this
relate
to AGS
Life Academy?
Excellent
question.
Two
Ways
Of
Life
- The
Give
Way
&
The
Get
Way
As
one
astute
individual
stated
it
when
talking
to
heads
of
state
around
the
world
years
ago,
there
are
two
ways
of
life.
The
"Give"
way
and
the
"Get"
way.
One
way
produces
peace,
prosperity
and
happiness
galore.
The
other
way
produces
strife,
hatred
and
chaos
which
leads
to
war,
death
and
destruction.
One
way
thinks
how
can I
help
others?
Serve
others
as
THEY
need
to be
served?
While
the
other
way
thinks
what's
in it
for
ME?
With
the
emphasis
on
the
ME.
When
one
understands
the
fundamentals
of
human
nature
and
human
life
and
where
it
all
leads
and
is
leading,
the
above
State
of
Affairs
has
everything
to do
with
this
site.
As
one
individual
said,
"Right
is
now
wrong
and
wrong
is
now
right.
Black
is
now
white
and
white
is
now
black.
An
upside
down
inside
out
world.
And
the
poor
low
man
on
the
totem
pole
- the
masses,
us -
is,
for
the
most
part,
at
the
mercy
of it
all."
And
people
of
all
walks
of
life are
growing
in
their
displeasure
(to
say
it
mildly)
with
their
leaders
at
all
levels
in
the
home
and
in
business,
industry
and
government.
They
are upset.
Families
are
upset.
All
over
the
world.
Actually,
the
masses
are
seething
with
anger
as I
am.
It is
building
quickly.
On an
individual
basis
and
in
the
masses.
But,
where
will
it
lead?
It
is
quickly
overshadowing
the
positives
and
those
who
really
do
want
to
produce
quality
products
and
services.
More
and
more
are
telling
me
they
don't
have
the
leadership
to
back
up
what
they
want
to
do.
And
in
many
instances
are
slacking
off
accordingly,
themselves.
That
anger
is
about
to
explode
into
social
and
racial
chaos
and
rioting.
Soon.
When?
I
don't
know.
No
man
does.
But,
if
one
steps
back,
they
can
see
the
trend
which
says
perhaps
later
this
year,
maybe.
Or
then,
perhaps,
next.
When
it
does,
it
won't
be
pretty.
It is
so
massive.
I'm
a
little,
no-name
nobody
with
a big
mouth sometimes that
is
willing
to
put
some
ideas
on
paper
or a
website
like
this,
hopefully,
to
help
others
in a
positive
uplifting
sort
of
giving
way.
Looking
back
over
my
lifetime,
I've
been
blessed.
And,
I've
had
my
share
of problems as well.
Hindsight,
all
due
to
cause
and
effect.
When
I
have
followed
the
rules,
I've
been
blessed.
And
when
I
disobeyed
those
rules,
let's
say I
wasn't
blessed.
In
all
too
many
cases,
I
have
learned
what
it is
like
to be
a
what
could
easily
be
called
a basket
case
of
basket cases.
All
due
to
cause
and effect.
I
am
not
looking
to
exalt
myself,
but
to
teach.
To
impart
some
of
the
knowledge
and
experiences,
both
good
and
bad,
I've
acquired.
Why?
Simply,
to
help
others. I've been a teacher in one capacity or another
most of my life. I enjoy doing that. Teaching others
to help themselves. Either
so
they
don't
have
to do
some
of
the
things
I've done and
others
have done to have scars as we may have for
or to
do
things
right
from
the
get-go. So others may learn
from
our
mistakes.
Our
trials
by
errors
as
well
as
some
of
the
great
things
as
well.
Quite
frankly,
this
is
all
positive
in
another
direction
as
well.
Extremely
very
positive.
Especially
for AGS
Life
Academy
students
of
all
ages.
They
will
also
be ready
for
the
incredible
opportunities
just
ahead.
Those
opportunities
are
mind-blowing
awesome
to
say
the
least.
Beautifully
sensational!
Roger
Babson
Back
in
the
1920s
and
1930s,
there
were national
annual
conventions
in
Chicago
of
bankers,
CEOs
and
various
high
level
leaders
of
the
nation.
The
speaker
at
one
of
these,
was
Roger
Babson.
This
occasion
was
at
the
height
of
prosperity
with
all
signs
pointing
up.
In
his
speech,
he
predicted
the
country
would
be in
recession
by
the
following
year.
All
the
attendees
laughed
him
to
scorn.
But,
during
that
year,
the
economy
did
tank
and
there
was a
recession.
And a
bad
recession.
The
next
year
at
that
same
national
convention,
he
was
invited
back
to
explain
how
he
knew
what
would
be
coming.
He
said
in
essence,
that
the
attendees
as
well
as
all
the
media
and
rest
of
the
country
were
looking
at
the
order
books
of
sales.
The
past
and
current
history.
He
said
he
went
down
stairs
in
the
boiler
room
and
looked
at
the
furnace
or
what
generated
those
sales.
And
he
commented
that
the
furnace
was
broken.
He
said,
when
at
least
51 %
of
the
people
have
"righteous
dealings"
with
each
other,
there
would
be
prosperity.
And
when
at
least
51 %
of
the
people
have
"unrighteous
dealings"
with
each
other,
recession
is on
the
way.
Look
around
today.
Do we
have
"righteous
dealings"
or
"unrighteous
dealings"
taking
place
most
of
the
time?
Look
back
a few
elections
when
the
United
States
nation
was
divided
with
who
individuals
wanted
as
their
leader.
A
nation
divided
against
itself
cannot
stand.
We're
worse
today
then
we
were
just
a few
years
ago.
Isn't
that
the
State
of
Affairs
listed
above?
Think
where
is it
all
leading?
What
am I
getting
at?
Good
question.
Let
me
address
it
this
way.
History
and
cycles
repeat
itself
and
themselves
Winston
Churchill
is
the
one
that
said,
"The
farther
back
you
look,
the
farther
forward
you
can
see."
In
other
words,
study
history
to
see
the
future.
Right
now,
the
cycle
of
negatives,
dishonesty,
greed,
corruption,
and
all
sorts
of
other
bad
traits
are
in
full
bloom.
Wouldn't
you
agree
with
me in
that
statement?
Or
just
about
in
full
bloom.
Well,
I
believe
there
are
lots
of
people
that
are
part
of
the
masses
that
are
upset
yet
don't
know
what
they
can
do.
Someone
said
exactly
that
to me
yesterday.
They
didn't
know
what
to
do,
but
felt
they
just
couldn't
sit
back
idle
allowing
all
this
"stuff"
(not
their
word)
to
just
happen.
History
teaches
us
that
cycles
repeat
themselves.
So
this
negative
cycle
of
the
world's
State
of
Affairs
will
turn
positive
very
shortly.
The
unfortunate
thing
is
because
the
negatives
this
time
around
are
so
huge,
along
with
nuclear
weapons
and
weapons
of
mass
destruction
are
so prevalent,
the
number
one
issue
is
man's
survival
and
what
happens
after
that.
There
is a
solution
There
is a
solution.
A few
see
it.
Most
do
not.
I'm
not
looking
at
the
current
State
of
Affairs
situation
right
now.
But,
beyond
that
and
its
immediate
fulfillment.
I'm
looking
in
the
future.
On
the
other
side
of
this
devastation.
What
it
all
ushers
in.
That
is
what
this
Academy
is
all
about.
If
you
wish,
during
the
full
bloom
of
the
current
State
of
Affairs
preparing
for
what
it
ushers
in.
Getting
people
to be
receptive
to
the
future
as
things
begin
to
fall
apart
...
and
worse...
and
then
giving
them
a
path
to
seek
an
alternative
path
of
peace,
prosperity
and
happiness.
Look
at
the
media,
selected
media,
from
throughout
the
world.
You
should
be
able
to
see
what
is
coming.
No
one
can
stop
what
is
coming.
Due
to
human
nature
and
other
issues,
the
train
of
events
in
the
world
is in
motion
and
won't
stop
until
it
crashes
and
burns.
That
is a
given.
But,
one
can
plan
now
to
prepare
for
when
the
train
does
crash
and
think
what
will
be
needed
as
the
train
crashes
and
thereafter.
This
Academy
prepares
those
willing
to
open
their
eyes
and
SEE
reality
today
and
also
plan
for
the
future.
The
future
on
the
other
side.
Yes,
they
will
reap
benefits
now.
But,
I
believe
the
big
benefits
will
be on
the
"other
side".
Especially,
if
the
students
of
this
Academy
have
more
skills
and
talents
than
I
possess,
which
is
what
I
really
do
believe.
The
State
of
Affairs
is
what
this
site
and AGS
Life Academy
is
all
about.
It
really
is a
sign,
an
awesome
sign,
of
something
really
suburb
just
around
the
corner.
Are
YOU
ready
for
it?
Do
YOU
want
to be
part
of
it?
And
be a
part
of
the
leadership
to
turn
things
around?
Therefore,
AGS
Life Academy
is a
different
type
of
prep
school.
A
prep
school
of
"Street
Smarts"
and
for
the
future
for
the
masses
as
they
learn
that
they
need
to
learn.
First,
Some
Background
Years
ago,
I was
a
"Basket
Case"
of
basket
cases.
In
almost
every
way
imaginable
without
going
into
needless
detail.
So
down
and
out,
people
wondered
at
me.
Even
me.
I
wondered
about
myself.
Being
so
low I
had
gotten
to a
point
of
telling
myself,
"Enough
is
enough."
I
wanted
out
of
that
state.
Whatever
it
took.
I had
a
nice
long
conversation
with
myself
and
determined
I
would
work
hard
to
remove
myself
from
that
label
and
be
someone.
Someone
special.
To
make
a
long
story
brief
(as
if
that
is
possible
for
me,
not),
about
the
same
time,
a
sales
manager
told
me
some
things
in
how
to
double
my
income
within
6
months,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
do,
increase
my
income
from
almost
zero.
He
said
the
formula
is
simple,
but
not
easy.
He
said
read
books
first
part
of
the
day.
Select
books.
Not
just
any
books.
He
said
you
are a
product
of
what
you
read.
You
want
to be
somebody,
read
selective
books.
All
this
is
explained
elsewhere
on
this
site
(try The
Foundation)
as
that
recommendation
really
did
change
my
life
profoundly
in
many,
many
ways.
Success:
The
Glenn
Bland
Method
One
of
those
early
books
was
"Success:
The
Glenn
Bland
Method"
by
Glenn
Bland.
I was
shocked.
On
page
one
and
the
first
chapter,
Mr.
Bland
mentioned
that
many
CEOs
and
executives
read
the
Bible
first
thing
in
the
morning
before
working
and
they
credited
their
success
by
implementing
the
Bible
into
their
lives.
He
laid
out a
method
of
how
to
read
the
Bible
in a
year.
I
thought
to
myself,
"Self,
if
all
these
CEOs
and
executives
read
the
Bible
and
they
credited
the
Bible
to
their
success,
then
I
need
to
read
the
Bible
for
myself
to become
successful
as
well."
Anyway,
I did
read
the
Bible
as
Mr.
Bland
said.
It
took
about
a
year.
I
read
it
like
any
other
textbook
I've
read.
A
little
side
note
here.
To
me,
textbooks
I
read
and/or
study
have
information
I
want
to
learn
in
them. I
needed
to
read
them
to
glean
that
information.
Which
is
what
this
Academy
is
all
about.
To
get
people
to
read.
And
read
selective
books
and
in
which
order.
Again,
Mr.
Bland
sold
it as
a
means
in how
to
become
successful
like
those
executives
were
and
that
is
what
I
wanted
to be
-
successful.
You
must
understand,
I was
on
the
opposite
end
of THAT
spectrum.
I was
in
the
pits
of
the
pits
or so
low I
needed
a
step
ladder
to
climb
up to
the
surface.
So,
there
must
be
information
in
that
book
to be
gleaned
if
all
these
"influentials"
claimed
it
had
it.
And I
wanted
it.
I was
sick
and
tired
of
being
sick
and
tired.
I
was
not
religious
at
the
time,
so did
not
read
it
for
the
religious
perspective.
I
read
it
for
what
else
is in
it.
Over
The
Decades
Now
Over
the
decades
now
that
I
have
made
the
early
morning
reading
a
daily
habit
and
with
so
many
other
outstanding
textbooks
to
compare,
I can
honestly
say I
have
shockingly
and
pleasantly
so
found
that
this
textbook
- the
Bible
- is
loaded
with
insight
and
practicality
in so
many
ways.
Ways
that
are
totally
different
than
any
other
textbook.
Principles
in
how
to
live
life
as
well
as
tremendous
work
ethics
for
huge success.
The
Bible is a powerful tool in my growth I could not obtain any
other way. I am still learning and don't claim to know
"it" all. I DO claim, I, too, am a student still
proving all things and holding fast to that which has been
proven sound and right. And power like I could not believe
has come my way I could never achieve on my own. And being
corrected in the process. All positive. Super
positive.
No
other
book
teaches
so
much.
One
cannot
forget
the
spiritual
aspect
it
also
has
for
those
so
inclined.
Here, for AGS
Life Academy,
I'm
talking
about
the
non-religious
aspects.
Awesome.
So
many aspects or principles or laws just like the law of gravity,
of energy, of science, and a ton of other well known laws.
So many in
such
a
small
resource.
The
more one studies and becomes humble in the process like a little
child yearning for more learning, the more one learns and
grows. The more powerful them become. More
understanding comes. More wisdom is displayed. More
of what's great is generated towards them and surrounds them - peace, happiness,
hope, vision, accomplishments, prosperity and supernatural
healings. AND, ... less of what one really doesn't want
- anger, confusion, contention, strife, war, loss of
wealth, health problems, family and work issues and countless
other heart-wrenching miseries. Cause
and effect.
This
book has turned my life around like no other
book
has. In dramatic fashion. It can do the same for
anyone who seriously wants their life turned around. I'll
guarantee it. How's that for an endorsement?!
A
Little
Digression
This
reminds
me as
a
youth
with
my
father
in
the
strawberry
patch
of
the
garden
telling
me
all
sorts
of
great
things,
"Learn
principles
and
you
will
never
go
wrong.
Details
will
be
forgotten,
but
the
principles
will
stay
with
you.
Learn
them."
He
was a
smart
man.
I've
learned
that
is
true.
Under
stated
true.
There
really
is so
much
in
the
Bible
in
principles
in addition
to
the
religious
aspects,
one
could
easily
study
that
textbook
their
whole
life
and
still
not
learn
it
all.
I'm
still
learning.
I
don't
know
it
all
AND
don't
claim
to.
But,
what
I do
know,
I
know.
Mainly,
because
I've
proved
it as
I
teach
that
principle
throughout
this
academy.
Prove
all
things
for
YOURSELF.
Don't
put
your
faith
or
trust
in ANY
man,
including
me.
With
my
professional
background
over
the
decades,
I've
received
countless
professional
newsletters,
trade
magazines,
etc.
Many
of
them
quoted
the
Bible
and
took
points
from
the
Bible
as
the
author
would
any
other
textbook,
magazine
or
media
excerpt.
That
told
me
and
still
does,
that
certain
"professionals"
do
read
and
acknowledge
the
Bible
as
one
of
their
source
books
in
their
lives
as
well
as
profession.
Over
the
years,
I've
talked
with
countless
people
from
all
over
the
globe.
Many
times,
religion
has
come
up in
the
conversation.
People
seem
to
have
their
own
religious
beliefs
and
most
of
them
stem
from
one
of
the
three
mainstream
religions
of
the
world.
With
variations.
Hence,
I
think
it
might
be
valid
to
say
that
everyone
is
doing
their
own
thing
with
a
mainstream
undercurrent
or
flow
to
it.
A
Community
Project
Can
Teach
Us
Years
ago,
during
a
community
project
of 18
members
I was
involved
with
that
was
formed
to
create
a
town-wide
holiday
policy
for
the
school
system,
I
discovered
the
book
of
10,000
Religions
in
the
U.S.
In
that
book,
I
used
one
particular
church
and
its
43
pages
of
splits
and
offshoots
to
drive
home
a
point.
So
many
churches
use
The
Bible
supposedly
as
their
foundation.
Yet,
they
all
don't
agree
to
what
that
book
says.
That
church
wasn't
even
one
of
the
mainstream
religions
with
millions
of
members.
I
followed
that
and
several
other
churches
since
and
they
have
split
countless
times
more.
What
am I
saying?
Many
people
use
the
Bible
and are
not
ashamed
of it
or
their
religion
as
they
do
talk
about
it to
complete
strangers.
I
experience
that
quite
often.
At
all
levels
of
society.
I do
realize
one
of
the
three
things
one
does
not
talk
about
is
religion
as
that
discussion
may
create
friction
between
peoples
as
they
get
very
possessive
and
defensive
when
they
talk
about
THEIR
religion.
Hence,
splits
in
their
churches.
Religion
is
not
what
I
want
to
discuss
nor
focus
on.
And,
I do
not
believe
it is
my
place
to
prostylize
or
attempt
to
convert
others
to my
spiritual
beliefs.
I try
very
hard
to
NOT
convey
what
my
beliefs
are.
Hence,
my
emphasis
to
separate
the
religion
from
the
textbook.
The
Bible
as a textbook
is
outstanding
in
and
by
itself.
What
Am I
Saying?
I'm
spending
a
great
deal
of
time
explaining
my
position
of
the
Bible
as I
do
believe
it is
important
to
understand
where
I, as
the Founder and President of
this AGS
Life Academy,
am
coming
from
in
this
regard
when
I
talk
about
certain
things
in
the
website.
I
will
emphasize
this
elsewhere
some
more
to
drive
the
point
home
-
yes,
the
Bible
is a
textbook
regardless
of
one's
religion.
In
AGS
Life Academy,
it is designed as a NON-RELIGIOUS
Academy of the world. We
train
students
to
THINK.
Part
of
thinking
will
address
extremely
sensitive
as
well
as
profoundly
important
issues.
We
need
to DISCERN & then UNDERSTAND
the
fundamentals
behind
the RIGHT
and APPROPRIATE questions
to
ask
to
get
to
the
real
core
of
the
matter
or
whatever
matter
we
might
undertake
to
study.
Please
hear
me
and
understand
what
I am
saying,
would
you?
I
view
that
book
- the
Bible
- can
easily
be
treated
just
like
any
other
textbook
or
educational,
inspirational,
motivational,
how-to-do-it,
historical,
textbook
and
lots
more.
Consider
ANY
book
in
the
list
of
books
I've
read
over
the
years
(click
here)
or
any
other
book
written
in
any
language
anywhere
in
the
world,
and
to
me,
the
Bible
is
far
superior
without
any
question. It
truly
has
so
much
to
offer.
It
can
be
extremely
sensitive
due
to
its
religious
aspects,
but,
it
also
has a
different
aspect
one
can
learn
from,
aside
from
the
spiritual.
And
the
religious
aspects,
it
has
that
there
as
well.
But,
I
don't
believe
it is
my
place
to prostylize,
so I
won't
prostylize.
I
will,
however,
promote
only
the OTHER
aspects
of
the
book
I
have
grown
to respect
very
much.
Don't
Listen
To
ANY
Man -
Including
Me -
Prove
It
For
Yourself
It
can
be
done.
As an
example,
I've
heard
of
one
individual
sales
person
that
was
the
number
one
sales
person
in
his
company
and
he
credited
the
Bible
as
his
means
of
achieving
that
status.
AND,
...
he
was
NOT
religious.
Actually,
VERY
non-religious.
He
claimed
his
success
to
that
book
- The
Bible.
He
said
it is
perhaps
the
best
textbook
out
there.
An
outstanding
sales
book.
A
human
relations
book.
A
book
to
teach
how
to
live
life
abundantly
and
get
along
well
with
others
and
how
to
increase
sales
effortlessly
and
dramatically.
But
stay
away
from
its
religion.
He
said
that
book
caused
him
to be
the #
1
sales
agent
year
after
year
in
his
company.
But
again,
he
was
irreligious.
He
had
not
found
one
religion
that
followed
the
Bible
as it
said
to
follow
it
and
therefore,
was
turned
off
to
religion
in
general.
Another
individual
who
claims
to be
an atheist,
said
basically
the
same
thing,
if
all
these
religions
use
the
Bible
as
their
foundation,
then,
how
come
they
don't
all
speak
the
same
thing?
Good
point
and
excellent
question,
wouldn't
you
say
and
agree?
Again,
it is
not
my
place
to
answer
that
question
here.
I'm
not
recommending
that
-
being
irreligious
or an
atheist,
but
simply
showing
what
can
be
done
by
looking
at
that
book
differently
than
what
many
might.
Separate
Learning
To
THINK
and
UNDERSTAND
So,
separating
the
different
aspects
of
the
best
textbook
in
the
world
according
to
that
number
one
salesman
of
the
company
he
represented
can
be
done.
He
was a
prime
example.
I
think,
if I
as a
no-name
nobody
can
do
what
I'm
doing,
then
what
about
all
those
with
a lot
more
skill
and
talent
and
umph
than
I
got?
I
am an
educator
of
sorts
wanting
to
help
others.
And
have
been
most
of my
life.
In
almost
every
employment
and
other
volunteer
position
I've
ever
had.
That
has
been
my
training.
To
serve
others
and
help
others.
One
way
through
this AGS
Life Academy
is
helping
them
learn
to
THINK
and
UNDERSTAND
in
the
fullest
sense
possible.
That's
what
leaders
- the
true
leaders
-
do.
They
gather
the
facts.
They
go
back
to
the
sources
looking
at
all
sides
of an
issue
proving
what
is
right
and
what
is
not.
They
try
to
understand
the
foundation
the
issue
rests
on.
Then,
and
only
then
do
they
make
decisions
and
decisive
decisions.
Decisions
based
upon
facts
and
easily
understandable
facts
having
gone
back
to
the
source.
Keep
It
Simple,
Stupid
...
AND
...
"You'll
Never
Go
Wrong"
What
I've
learned,
the
right
and
wrongs
over
the
decades
now,
hopefully,
I can
share
with
others
so
they
can
glean
them
for
themselves
and
not
have
to go
through
some
of
the
heartache
I've
gone
through.
Hence,
as my
dad
used
to
say,
"Learn
principles
and
you'll
never
go
wrong."
Therefore,
I
say,
go
back
to
the
basics.
The
source.
Dig
for
the
facts.
Prove
ALL
things.
From
several
angles.
Don't
listen
to
ANY
human
being,
including
me.
Prove
it
for
YOURSELF.
The
days
of
politicians
and
various
leaders
of
business,
industry
AND
even
religious
organizations
lying,
being
deceptive
or
twisting
of
the
truth
is fast
coming
to an
end.
And
I,
for
one,
am
glad.
AGS
Life Academy
is
preparing
those
WILLING
students
to
take
over
in
the
next
era.
And
that
era
is
coming
quickly.
We
are
literally
at
the
cusp.
I
am
NOT
teaching
rebellion
nor
dis-obedience.
Just
the
opposite.
Government
is
everything.
Obedience
is
everything.
Follow
the
rules
and
regulations
and
government
and
be
blessed.
In
the
home,
at
work,
in
business,
in
the
land.
Wherever.
But,
don't
rebel
nor
be
dis-respectful.
There
is a
way
to
dis-obey
"un-righteous"
rules
and
regulations
using
the
word
Roger
Babson
used
in
calling
the
dealings
with
others.
That
is a
topic
found
elsewhere
as
you
follow
the
teachings
of AGS
Life Academy.
Learning
To
Discern
I
have
spent
a
great
deal
of
time
talking
about
a potentially
explosive
issue
for a
reason.
To
dissect
the
subject
- one
particular
textbook
- in
a
similar
pattern
as we
might
dissect
just
about
ANY
subject
or
ANY
topic
studied
at AGS
Life Academy.
Look
beyond
just
the
surface
down
several
layers
of
any
subject
or
any
topic.
Look
for
the
REAL
meat
or
heart
of an
issue
without
prejudice.
Emotion
is
nice
to
have
in
its
place.
But,
logic
is
also
important
to
have.
Leaders
cannot
have
just
one
without
the
other.
Good
effective
high-caliber
leaders
WILL
have
both
emotion
AND
logic.
Hence,
the
need
to
tackle
just
about
any
topic
and
any
subject
in an
uncommon
way.
Detached
from
emotion
looking
at
the
logic
in
it.
But,
after
the
research
AND
the
logic,
the
emotion
should
be
there
to
stand
up
for
what
one
believes
they
have
proved
FOR
THEMSELVES.
NOT
what
they
were
spoon
fed
by
someone
else,
even
"important"
or influential
individuals
of
any
stature.
I
look
around
and
think
of
the
decades
I've
been
here,
having
seen
and
experienced
the
good
and
the
bad
and
think
about
people
in
general,
they
really
don't
know
what
they
don't
know.
And,
I
believe
that
is
because
no
one
has showed
them
what
they
don't
know
at no
fault
of
their
own.
AND,
the
way
society
is,
the
cards
are
usually
against
people
to
begin
with.
There
is a
system
and
the
system
is
really
against
people.
But,
if
people
knew
select
things,
their
potential
would
truly
be
awesome.
Much
better
than
where
they
are
at
present,
for
sure.
They
will
have
to go
above
and
beyond
the
norm
to
develop
that
potential.
They
will
NOT
achieve
the
really,
really,
really
great
potential
following
the
herd
or
society
as
the
masses
do
things.
They
will
have
to
venture
out
and
be a
maverick
of
sorts
like
a
salmon
fighting
the
currents
to
swim
up
stream
to
spawn.
Quite
frankly,
that
motivates
me to
do
all I
can,
as
best
I
can,
and
stretch
in
the
process
to
always
attempt
to do
more
at a
higher
quality
believing
God
is
looking
over
my
shoulder
at
all
times.
That
is my
motivation.
In
other
words,
I do
believe
there
is a
God
and
have
proven
that
without
a
shadow
of a
doubt.
For
me.
Fantastic
Textbook
-
Perhaps
THE
Greatest
All-Around
Textbook
Of
All
Textbooks
So
Few
Know
What's
In
It,
Yet
Is
Perhaps
The #
1
Sold
Book
In
The
World
Year
After
Year.
Let
me
advance
this
concept
quickly.
The
concept
that
most
"preachers"
don't
know
what
is in
the
Bible
as
they
teach
in
many
cases
just
the
opposite
of
what
is
there.
Hence,
the
book
"10,000
Religions
in
the
United
States"
mentioned
above.
If
they
did,
why
wouldn't
they
all
be
preaching
the
same
thing?
Why
all
the
divisions?
On
preaches
one
thing
and
another
preaches
something
else.
Why?
Ever
ask
that
question?
I
did
and
the
answer
I
found
is a
topic
for a
different
venue.
Therefore,
without
getting
into
the
religious
aspect
of
this
textbook
manual
for
mankind
- the
Bible,
if I
may
remove
the
spiritual
aspect
from
our
discussion
and present
certain
generic
principles
for
individuals
to
learn
for
themselves,
they
will
be
happier
and
more
blessed
in
their
activities.
That
is
one
of
the
goals
of AGS
Life
Academy.
To
live
life
abundantly
within
6
months
while
getting
ones
life
and
finances
Rock-Solid.
Therefore,
in
that
regard
and
for
example,
Philippians
4:8
states
in
the
King
James
(the
best
translation
in
the
English
language
with
the
fewest
errors)
:
Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever
things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
things are of good report; if there be any
virtue, and if there be any praise, think on
these things.
|
|
Or,
as my
dad
used
to
teach
us
kids,
"Always
look
for
the
good
in
something
rather
than
the
negatives."
Tear
that
scripture
apart
and
understand
the
various
parts
more
fully
and
implement
that
in
your
life
and
you
can't
help
to be
better
received
by
others.
People
don't
want
to
hear
negatives
all
the
time.
They
want
the
truth.
They
want
honesty
without
impurities.
They
want
to
look
at
beauty
and
uplifting
and
encouraging
things
of
meaning
and
value.
And
they
want
to be
praised.
This
scripture
is
universal
without
religion
in
it.
Principles.
The
Bible
is
filled
with
principles,
rules
and
regulations
to be
happy
and
prosperous.
The
more
one
adheres
to
those
principles,
rules
and
regulations,
the
more
happy
and
prosperous
and
blessed
one
will
be.
By
the
same
token,
the
more
one
does
not
obey
those
principles,
rules
and
regulations,
the
more
unhappy
and
cursed
we
become.
Interesting
how
that
works,
isn't
it?
Obey
and
be
blessed.
Disobey
and
be
cursed.
Cause
and
effect.
Did
YOU
know
that
Kings
...
Did
you
know
that
past
kings
used to
hand
write
out the
first 5
books
of what
today
is
called
the
Bible
for
their
own
daily
reference
book
while
in
office?
That's
true.
These 5
books
are
considered
"The
Law"
and
some
also
include
the 6th
book
"Joshua"
as
well.
Can
we not
learn
from
multiple
kings?
Actually,
there
are 4
books -
1 &
2 Kings
& 1
& 2
Samuel
- that
are
written
to
teach
kings
in what
to do
and
what
not
do.
Good
and bad
examples
of
decisions.
Several
other
books
support
those,
such as
1 &
2
Chronicles
as
prime
examples.
Some
books
are
results
of
obedience
and
others
are for
disobedience
to the
law
while
others
describe
how to
obey
the
law,
which
provides
understanding,
knowledge
&
finally
wisdom.
Isn't
that
what
we'd
like -
understanding?
Knowledge
&
wisdom?
My
dad said there are two ways to learn. By yourself AND by
observation of others. It is usually easier to learn by
observing others as it may be less painful. He was a smart
man I've gain tremendous respect for years later.
Searching
out strong leaders over time (there doesn't seem to be any real
role-models today in any area of society I'd consider really
worth emulating) and observe who they are and learn from
them.
Have
you noticed when you do, many were Bible-reading and
Bible-believing men and women that really shaped the world
positively for long periods after themselves? Every nation
has had their well known share of these God-fearing men and
women. They crystal clearly spell out where their power
came from and it wasn't themselves.
Or, do
we
suppose
we are
better
than
kings or great leaders of the past and
don't
need to look beyond our selves? Do we think or say, there is
no God or higher being out there. I can do anything.
Who needs the support of some god?
Think
about what kings and leaders had to do
to
become
a
king? Or become some great leader? Wouldn't
YOU
like to
become
a king
someday? Or a colossal world-changing leader? There
really
is no
chance
unless
you
prepare
for the
job as
they
did...
"Copying
is the first step in developing your own style" is a saying
of a former CEO of an international organization. Why not
copy those you would like to become like? Why not a
king? Or a world-renown leader?
Leaders
at all
levels
take
the
time to
prepare
for the
"next"
level
in
their
developmental
progression.
Why not
start
from
where
YOU are
today?
You
don't
know
where
YOU
might
be in
the
future...
The
ULTIMATE
Practical
Textbook of All Time
This
textbook - the Bible - in it's original format before all the
translations to whatever language one wants could be considered
the ultimate textbook of all time. It is all about life
and every position in the universe.
As
it states in Isaiah 28:10 here a little, there a little, line
upon line, precept upon precept, dig into the textbook on any
subject of life and find out about it. It literally is
filled with information on that subject. The best
translation in English is the King James version but know the
translators have inserted certain errors in spots or used the
wrong words in places. Still, it is perfect as is and when
one learns the corrections to those errors, it is outstanding.
[A
quick side comment may be needed. One gets used to reading
the old 1611 English real fast, so please do not let that be a disincentive
in reading the book. Add extra respect to the book to
compensate for it. It is still the world's number one sold
book for a reason.]
The
longer one studies it without prejudice or pre-conceived
mis-conceived ideas, the more depth one finds and the more
respect of that textbook as a textbook. It could easily be
considered the ULTIMATE textbook of all time.
It
is about family - father, mother, child, parent, sibling,
extended relations and how to be any one of those and how to act
and how to get along with each other.
It
teaches how to be a man, a woman, a child and at whatever age
one is. From before birth to after death.
It
is about every profession imaginable - teacher, sales person, architect,
engineer, doctor or healer, ditch-digger, undertaker, employee,
worker or laborer, supervisor, manager, financial planner,
advisor, consultant, servant of whatever sort, musician, owner, you-name-the-position.
It
teaches which professions to seek and which ones not to and why.
Again,
it teaches how to do the job being the best you can be and doing
it with all your might and doing more than what is expected
without greed or bribery or corruption or ulterior
motives. It teaches how to serve others as you would want
to be served whether the details or in generalities working
together in harmony, happiness, vision, hope galore. In
short, work-ethics.
It
is about playing and how to play and how not to play and the
benefits or the curses that come depending on the choices one
makes in work or play or social living.
It
is about choices and freedom of choice and each person must be
an individual yet part of the whole and the choices one makes
affects not only the individual but the whole and profoundly at
that. It teaches to count the cost BEFORE making whatever
decision one chooses to make. And why as the consequences
can and will be far-reaching.
It
teaches human nature and the emotions and how to use them
appropriately to your advantage and everyone else's advantage as
well. Love, joy, happiness, hope, hate, anger, bitterness,
violence, chaos & war - they are all talked about in this
one super textbook. Also, honesty, integrity, courage,
respect, lies, deception, dis-respect, dishonor, and more.
They are all there.
It
is about nature and how to value it and use it and treat it so
it will always be there to continue blessing the inhabitants of
earth. And how to look to the stars and the universe and
learn from those as well. And the incredible potential of
man that would blow most people's minds if they truly understood
it. Wild and awesome beyond normal belief.
It
is about the past, the present and the future. About
details, generalities, concepts, yet specifics as well.
About organization, planning, implementation, monitoring,
correcting at each step of the way in every field or industry
one wants to consider. It truly is awesome when one really
understands it is a TEXTBOOK to be used.
Daily.
As
we students were trained in the Swiss organization and
management college I went to, "Everything has a
place. Everything in it's place." That includes
time to enjoy life as one should enjoy life. Everything in
it's own time. Balanced. Not one area over another.
The
Bible states don't be naive about the book or anything for that
matter. Prove it and one proves anything by simply
following and doing it. Is it accurate or isn't it?
1Thessalonians 5:21
Prove all things; hold fast that which is
good.
|
|
The
Bible is extremely accurate. It is never wrong. What
other book can make that statement?
And,
if the implementation doesn't give the results you may be
looking for instantaneously, there may be reasons for that
outcome. Perhaps, you don't understand enough of what it
tells you (perhaps taking things out of context) ... or ... your
attitude wasn't right (maybe not humble enough ... or ... other
negative gimmie type attitude vs. giving, serving type attitude)
... or ... you didn't implement what you read correctly ... or
... it is teaching patience. That last word is important
in this day and age of instant gratification and wants now.
In
other words, it is not the Bible that is wrong. It is the
person attempting to interpret the Bible their own way doing
their own thing implementing it the way that seems right in
their own mind or heart. Let the Bible interpret
itself. The Bible is accurate and as it says, scripture
cannot be broken.
Like
a Giant Jigsaw Puzzle
The
Bible when taken piece by piece goes together only one
way. Just like a giant jigsaw puzzle.
I
like to use the analogy of a million piece jigsaw puzzle.
If you start with the outer edge putting them together, you will
get the dimensions of the whole. With the outline of the
Bible in place as well, you will discover the meaning purpose of
life like you never enjoyed before. An awesome incredible
potential of the entire universe as well. A new respect of
the Bible as a textbook like none other.
Then,
like with the puzzle, select all the pieces that have the same
colors and lines in them. Put them together. Perhaps
a house or a barn or trees or water or a human or two.
Whatever pieces that "might" fit together fairly
easily.
These
are like our life. Find all the easy scriptures dealing
with a particular subject, such as any desire one can think of
or any problem in life, and read them all. Don't skip
any. Each has meaning to add to the others. Read
them all.
And
meditate on them thinking how they fit together. Which one
comes first, and then the next and so forth. And how does
it fit with everything else you've read and studied? Until
the whole subject or topic is addressed. Just like that
barn or house or water in the puzzle.
As
the more individual pictures within the puzzle that comes
together, the secret dimension of life comes together. All
from continuous studying. Remember, it goes together only
one way. It really is fun to do puzzles and it is fun to
study the Bible in discovering how it goes together so life can
be lived incredibly. Usually, not the way we may
originally thought.
This
puzzle called the Bible is a useful, practical every-day tool in
our quest of living life abundantly as the result of our
studying will produce fantastic results.
Again,
prove all things and hold fast that which is true. Learn
those "laws" or principles that produce the blessings
and those that produce the curses depending on personal
choices. These principles are laws that when obeyed will
do just that - bring blessings. And, when disobeyed, will
bring curses. Then, choose the positives vs. the
negatives. Can't fail with this simple approach.
A
fascinating study
There
is so much more one could say about this textbook AS
A TEXTBOOK, but let the above wet the appetite to look
at the book differently than what you may have before.
This
could be the only textbook one really needs in life to live life
abundantly. The Principles of Living Life Abundantly to
the highest degree possible geared to the individual as well as
the masses.
The
more one studies, the more one learns, the happier one
becomes. Never ending. So, the man who studies and
meditates on what they study and implements that which is true
may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works and
lives life more abundantly than they could ever imagine in all 7
areas of life. And those around that wise perpetual
student will do likewise.
Won't
that be a wonderful world then? Everyone doing what
produces great majestic things.
YOU
... Can Be Just Like A Number 1 Salesman Of A Company
Years
ago, I heard of a salesman that was very nonreligious.
He definitely was not religious in his ways. Yet, he did
read the Bible, especially Proverbs' 31 chapters, and became the number 1
salesman of his company quickly.
He said Proverbs teaches
how to be a winner. How to be wise. How to be
instructed and judge justice and to "perceive"
discernment. It teaches understanding and how to do
that. And prosperity enough to fill the barns.
It
is considered "wisdom literature". Proverbs was written by Solomon, who
was considered the wisest man that ever lived.
It is all about
knowledge, wisdom, human nature, how to live life. That #
1 salesman spent time to learn that and he credited that to his
being # 1. Can YOU do the same and can't you become #1 in whatever field you
are in or go after as he did with his company?
I
will also add that you can't help but increase the happiness,
joy, peace profoundly in your life with others gravitating to
you in positive and uplifting ways ... IF ... you employment
some of what you read in this book.
For
example, how many supervisors or managers read Proverbs 29 and
verse 2 and think? It reads ...
When
the righteous are in authority, the people
rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the
people mourn.
|
|
In
other words, be nice to the employees and they will in turn be
nice back to you, the supervisor or manager. They will do
what you ask willingly, diligently and well. Isn't that
what you'd like? If you demand and especially in an
unfriendly manner, you raise a certain amount of anger and
hostility and in that regard, how would YOU feel when someone
does that to YOU? A certain amount of rebellion? How
would you perform your tasks if your supervisor did that to you?
Keep
in mind a verse soon after - Proverbs 29 and verse 14...
The
king that faithfully judgeth the poor, his
throne shall be established for ever.

Show
Me Your Library And I'll Show You Who YOU Are
Show me your library and I'll show you who you are. As
it has been said before, you are what you eat and I say, you are
what you read, what you listen to, what you see. In other
words, show me your library, what went into your mind and I'll
show you what you currently are.
If you want to change, let's change what goes into the mind
whether through the eyes, the ears or the touch. Sometimes
even the mind directly. Anyone can be changed. I'm a
product of that process. Not yet perfect by any means, but
I do believe huge improvements for my own benefit and more
importantly, for others. If you knew me before, you would
say dramatic difference. Night and day difference.
You, too, can be changed. But, ... ONLY ... IF ... YOU
want to be changed. A person changed against their will is
the same person still. YOU alone MUST want to be changed
AND you CAN BE changed. I propose the Academy is an
excellent way to begin that change. A well-rounded
energizing change that will attract others to you quickly.
Try it. What do you have to loose. I did and am
truly glad of the results ... so far.
Simple
technique to become wise
Why
not read Proverbs and learn the principles. That number 1
salesman said he read them daily first thing in the morning, one
chapter a day based upon the day of the month. Whatever
the day of the month was, that was the chapter he read that
day. I.e. the 14th of the month, he read the 14th
Chapter. The 23rd day of the month, he read Chapter 23 and
so forth. Month in and month out. Again, that is
what he credited on his becoming # 1 in his company.
So,
my challenge to all those who want to be number 1 in their
company at whatever level they are presently ... or ... seek
whatever level,
why not read Proverbs daily and in 6 months, see where you are?
So,
bottom line, may I suggest get wisdom. Get
understanding. Become # 1 in YOUR company or YOUR
environment ... and prosper handsomely.
A
Right & A Privilege
It is a right and a privilege to learn what is here at AGS
Life Academy.
Out of all those who check out this site, how many is that in
comparison to the entire population of the earth? It is a
right as it is open to anyone. It is a privilege as not
everyone speaks or understands English, even though this is
designed for 3rd grade English. Eventually, this
Academy will be translated into other languages as outlined in
the Organizational
Chart.
Being
a realist, I know not everyone who comes here, will go through
the Academy fully and conclude it, whether Auditing
or For Credit - the Certificate
Program
or the Diploma
Program
or one of the other
Programs
still to be developed.
How strong do YOU believe that? I do and I'm the Founder
and President. That is how and why it was
established. It should be an honor to first, know about
this site and second, go through it completely and third,
practice what was learned.
The result will be individuals set apart as superior in
character and all sorts of positives they could not acquire any
other way. That others will look up to and want to be
like. A right for all. Yet, a privilege to react
taking advantage of what's here at the Academy AND then do or to
practice these Principles of Living as fully as possible.
Now,
that is POWER. Real power. Power multiplied by power
to the ultimate degree possible and beyond. And it can be the
students for the taking. Simple as that. I wish you,
the reader, fully understood this and how awesome YOUR potential
really is. My heart aches deeply that people limit
themselves in the ways they do.
The
Bible is probably and arguably the most practical textbook one could ever ask
for when truly understood what's in it. Not what preachers
say, but what is actually in it.
My
Place
Again,
I do
not
believe
it is
my
place
to prostylize
and
will
not.
Besides,
I am
not
ordained
to
any
religious
office
or
consider
myself
as anybody
worthy
enough
to
teach
spiritual
principles.
I try
hard to
hide
what
religious
affiliation
I'm
with
but
willing
to and will
stand
up and
defend
my
beliefs
and
religion
if
necessary.
I'm not
ashamed
of
it.
I want
people
to
prove
all
things
for
themselves
and
judge
for
themselves
and not
based
on what
I do or
don't
do.
Hopefully,
I will
do what
is
right
but
know I
am
still
human
and not
perfect
yet. I do make mistakes.
For
these reasons and more, I do not include the Bible in one of the
10 textbooks
used in AGS
Life Academy
and do not promote it as one of those needing to be used in the
6 month program. It SHOULD be without the promotion but
that is a personal choice. And, again, not my place to prostylize.
Actually, ideally, ... IF ... I were to recommend the books I'd really like to
recommend, they would be those geared around the Bible and understanding that
textbook of all textbooks. The textbooks listed here at the Academy would
be a distant second choice to the ones I'd ideally like to recommend. All
others are even further away from the top choice. For those so inclined,
write me personally and ask for those books. Many of those are free,
including the postage. I will not disclose them to you otherwise.
Again, it is NOT my place to prostylize and even mentioning
the books I'm not going to be doing. They are, however, all-purpose, non-denominational
books and would help one get to know their Bibles for what is actually
in it. Not what mainstream Christianity or mainstream
religion purports. But notice, they are not
mentioned.
It
is my earnest belief that God should be THE first priority in
life. And with
Him, one can achieve greatness. And all the other rewards that are truly blessings. Without Him, one
cannot. Simple as that. Happiness really comes
by obeying His rules and His regulations and they are not
grievous nor burdensome.
It does not matter the
circumstances, if one turns themself to God and begins to
learn His rules and His regulations as evidenced in His training
manual called The Bible, AND does them (practice them), one
cannot help but make progress beyond their wildest expectations.
These laws as presented here at AGS
Life Academy
are not dependent on whether you believe there is a
God or not. Again, this Academy is
NON-RELIGIOUS.
Obviously,
to me, God is the missing dimension in how
and why one lives. There is NO other substitute.
None. But, that is an individual choice.
John
6:44 says paraphrased that no man can come to Him without Him first calling
you. At that point, you have two choices - either listen
and obey and follow that calling or disobey and be cursed even
more. Those not called at the moment don't know God or who
and what He is and it doesn't matter how much studying they may
do.
Yes,
I do wish above all else, that everyone knew my God and practiced
what He teaches. This world would be a different
world. Yet, I am also a realist and know that is
not reality ... at this time.
Bottom
line, it is not my place to prostylize. I do believe,
however, that I may teach certain basic cause
and effect
principles in how to live and
if you do them, you, too, regardless if you believe there is a
God or don't, will be blessed accordingly.
Joy, happiness, hope, and all sorts of positives
can come your way when you learn the Academy's principles.
And the heartaches, sufferings or worse while living life can be
diminished. Yet, to me, achieving TRUE success can only
come from learning about and getting to know who and what is God
and the purpose of mankind on earth.
Therefore,
I take great pains to separate the principles that generate the
benefits sought vs. the spiritual aspect of the Bible. YOU
choose what YOU want to when it comes to your choices and reap
the consequences according to those choices.
Hence,
prove all things for YOURself and hold fast to that. Don't
put your faith or trust in any person, including me.
YOU
Own It
In
the meantime, assuming you learn these principles of living AND
practice them, you will eliminate many causes
for wrong outcomes in life. This whole Academy is a
launching pad for you, the student, to do your own studying and
evaluation proving what is true and what is not for yourself so
you will KNOW deep within you how to go forward. YOU own
the consequences for whatever decisions YOU make. No one
else does.
My comments here in The Full Disclosure
are so that YOU may understand where I, the author, is coming
from. As said elsewhere, I am a nobody. A
nothing. With my share of faults and scars from bad
living. Yes, I have begun to turn my life around and turn
some of those negatives into positives. The blessings are
truly incredible for doing so. Therefore, I know what
works AND what doesn't ... the hard way. I am still
learning not knowing everything.
I strongly therefore, suggest if you consider using this tool,
this Academy, as one
of your textbooks, you will be blessed in doing so. But,
again, this is only a suggestion from me personally and not part
of the formal AGS
Life Academy.
I do
believe
it is
important
to
know
where
people
are
coming
from
and
what
motivates
them.
Now
you
know
that
about
me.
Stop
Going
To
Church
Now
that is
a blunt statement,
especially,
for one
that
claims
they
believe
in God. And, I presume an attention getter.
Most
"Christians"
or
so-called
"Christians follow a man or men and have never proved what
they believe. Can YOU
prove
yours?
Consider
taking
the
challenge,
when
you go
to
church, if you do go to church, open up
your
Bible
and see
whether
your
preacher
quotes
or mis-quotes
or
doesn't
even
use the
Bible
in
their
sounding
nice
message.
Simple
challenge.
Prove
me
wrong.
What
source
book do
they
use in
their
religion?
Then,
do they
believe
their
source
book or
don't
they?
Believe
as in
follow
it.
Talk is
cheap.
Results
are
what
counts.
Do they
FOLLOW
it?
ALL of
it?
I
have proven what I believe. And am still learning as I
said before.
What
Am I
saying?
What
am I
saying?
I am
saying
prove
all
things
for
YOURSELF
and
hold
fast
that
which
is
true.
Discern
what is
right
and
what is
not.
Be like
the
salmon swimming up
stream
to spawn
fighting
the ragging currents attempting to drag it back down stream.
Live
what
YOU
believe.
But,
prove
what
YOU
believe,
whatever
that
is.
I
contend
most
people
don't
know
what
they
don't
know.
They
just
have
not
been
trained
to
know.
And
that is
what AGS
Life
Academy
teaches.
With
all due
respect,
stop
being
ignorant.
I
challenge
you to
discover
what
YOU
don't
know
that
you
don't
know.
Stop
living
the way
what
other
people
tell
you to
live.
Stop
living
a false
religion
that
they
nor you
can
prove
is
true.
Take my
challenge
for 6
months
and
then
determine
which
way to
go.
I
suggest
to take
a few
months
off
from
going
to
church
and
read
your
Bible.
Find
out
what it
says.
Really
says.
It took
me a
full
year
and I
was
shocked.
In most
cases,
I found
that
most
preachers
teach
just
the
opposite
to what
is in
that
book.
With no
authority
to do
so.
That's
wrong
in my
mind.
Hypocrites.
If
it is
true,
you
will be
stronger
in the
process.
If
false,
you
will
know
it.
An
either
or
situation.
Both
ways,
in the
end,
you
will be
stronger
for
taking
the
challenge.
Read
and
prove
and
hold
fast
that
which
is
true.
Again,
it is
not my
place
to
prostylize,
so am
not
going
to do
that.
Just
offer
you a
challenge.
Prove
your
religion
and
does it
match
up with
whatever
source
book
you
claim
is the
foundation
of
it?
If not,
then
why
observe
it?
Hence,
take a
few
months
off
from
going
to
church
and
prove
the
foundation
of your
religion.
You
probably
will
get
more
out of
NOT
going
to
church
than
going.
And,
become
a
stronger
person
in the
process.
That
really
is an
outstanding
source
book
for
life
and how
to live
it
abundantly.
And
watch
people
flock
to you
like a
magnet.
And be
shocked
pleasantly
so
about
your
character
improving
substantially.
This
is part
of AGS
Life
Academy
and
what it
is all
about.
To
raise
your
standards
while
getting
you to
THINK
and
DISCERN
and NOT
accepting
what
anyone,
including
me,
tells
you.
Will
YOU
take me
up on
my
challenge?
[Please
note, I
am
purposefully
not
telling
you my
religion
as that
is not
my
place.]
Stop
going
to
church
while
you
prove
your
religion?
That's
what
motivates
me
Having
shared
my
story
about
what
motivates
me
and
where
I am
coming
from,
please
do
not
underestimate
the
value
of
the
Bible
as a
textbook
of
how
to
live
life
abundantly
beyond
your
wildest
imagination.
Regardless
of
your
religious
background.
Remember,
the
Bible
is
NOT
one
of
the
recommended
textbooks
of
the 6
months
Foundation
of AGS
Life
Academy
or for
that
matter
anywhere
else on
this
site.
Only here
on the
full
disclosure
page.
Yet,
it is
recommended
EXTRA
reading.
Read
it
with
an
open
mind
and
attempt
to
understand
what
it is
saying
while
removing
the
religion
as
you
read
and
study
it.
Human
nature,
history,
sales,
leadership,
work
ethics,
motivation,
relationship
building,
inspiration,
hope,
love,
peace,
prosperity,
encouragement
is
all there.
And
more.
It
has
also
religion
as
well.
But,
again,
remove
the
religious
aspect
as
you
read
and
study
it.
Treat
it
like
any
other
textbook. Think
how
many
religions
supposedly
use
that
one
book
as
their
textbook
they
found
their
religion
on
and
yet
are
so
different
from
each
other.
Therefore,
please
look
beyond
that
and
look
deeper
into
the
book.
Try
to
grasp
the
principles
of
the
textbook
as a
textbook.
The
all-around
practical
principles
of
how
to
live
life
in
general.
There
really
is so
much
there.
All
THAT
So Now
A
Little
Heart
To
Heart
More
Full
Disclosure
I
have
been
rich
and
I've
been
poor.
I have
also
been
treated
as
royalty
and
also as
a
beggar.
The
positive
achievements
and
accomplishments
associated
to me I
believe
the
credit
goes to
the
Great
God of
the
entire
universe.
Again,
I take
no
credit
as
there
still
is way
too
much
rotten
carnal
human
nature
in this
hunk of
mud
called
me.
Again,
it is
not my
place
to prostylize
so will
not go
into my
spiritual
beliefs.
Just suffice
it to
say, I
do
believe
in a
God and
that He
should
get ALL
the
credit
for ANY
of my
positive
achievements
while,
unfortunately,
I will
retain
the
human
fruits
I'm
ashamed
of that
led to
this
Academy.
I
really
do not
want
others
to have
the
scars
I've
acquired
over
the
decades.
A
basket
case is
an
under-statement.
But,
others
may be
in a
similar
situation
as I've
been in
and
want
out.
They,
too,
may be
saying
enough
is
enough.
There
must be
a
better
way to
live
life.
They
may be
hungering
and
thirsting
as the
expression
goes
for a
better
life.
That
life of
theirs
currently
is
the
pits to
say it
nicely.
I
understand
that
emotion.
That
feeling.
That
situation.
And no
one
seems
willing
to
help.
Nothing
but
nothing
goes
right.
And,
now I can
honestly
say, if
I can
do it,
so can
just
about
anyone.
Without
exception.
I
believe
that
profoundly.
Hence,
with my
repentance
of my
former
ways,
it is
time to
give
back.
A time
to
teach
others
they
can
improve
their
situation
as
well.
There
is
still a
lot of
work
for my
improvement
to
continue,
but in
the
meantime,
the
question
was how
could I
give
back
that
which I
have
learned?
To help
as many
people
as
possible?
I'll
address
that in
just a
moment.
But,
first,
another
little
digression.
An
Analogy
To Make
One
Think,
Hopefully
Recently,
I heard
on the
radio
some
scientists
bragging
that
they
were in
the
business
of
creating
body
parts
for the
human
body.
To
replace
them as
they
break
down.
They
have
spent
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to find
that
some of
those
body
parts,
whether
they
are
hearts,
lungs,
livers,
tubes
or
valves
or any
other
body
parts are intricately
layered
with
incredible
flexible
substances
and
different
sorts
of
membranes
at each
level
beyond
their
wildest
expectations
with
intricate
valves
and
tubes
and
other
things
they
mentioned.
They
are
having
difficulty
re-creating
some of
those
parts
and membranes
and
valves
and
things that
self-repair
themselves
and
grow in
unique
ways
each
different
than
others
and are
consistent
when
they
do.
The
more
they
studied,
the
more
they
truly
were
amazed
at the
intricacies
of the
body
parts
they
were
working
on. I
couldn't
help
but
think
in fact
the
more
they
were
disproving
evolution
without
realizing
it.
It just
jumped
out in
the
face of
the
audience.
There
could
not be
any
evolution.
There
had to
be a
higher
intelligence.
At each
step of
that
interview,
one
could
easily
ask what
they
were
saying
blatantly?
All
while
they
held
fast to
what
they
were
doing -
creating
body
parts.
There
was no
recognition
as to
the
source
of
those
parts
or how
they
were
designed,
yet, in
the
process
of
saying
nothing,
they declared
that a
higher
intelligence
than
themselves
had to
have designed
and
then
created
each
layer
and
substance
of the
body
part
they
were
trying
and
failing
constantly
to
re-create
without
acknowledging
that a
higher
intelligence
even existed.
They
failed
to
realize
evolution
cannot
be
real.
It
reminded
me of
someone
looking
at an
automobile
for the
first
time and
saying
we need
to
somehow
analyze
this
automobile
that
just
somehow
came
together
by
itself. That
somehow
miraculously
self-created
itself
or
evolved
somehow
and is
here.
in essence,
this
steel
cell
evolved
over
millions
of
years
to join
with
this
other
steel
cell to
form
this
fender
while
this
plastic
cell
evolved
over
time to
join
with
this
plastic
cell to
form a
front bumper
which
is
different
than
the
plastic
cells
that
joined
together
to form
the
back
bumper.
Then
there
is the crystal
cell
that
evolved
or did
whatever
it did
to join
other crystal
cells
to form
a
windshield.
And
rubber
cells
formed
these
incredible
round
things
called
wheels.
And
what
about
that
conglomeration
called
an
engine?
The
various
tubes
and
valves
and
other
things
in an
automobile.
So many
different
cells
and
cells
within
cells
and
intricately
inter-connected
somehow.
And
somehow
other
unknown
cells
evolved
into
various
other
body
parts
of the
automobile
so
presto,
there
it is.
The
automobile.
Let's
analyze
it so
when it
breaks
down,
we can
replace
some of
those
body
parts,
shall
we?
If
one
understands
the
concept
of the
automobile
had to
have a
manufacturer
to
begin
with,
why not
the
human
body?
It
didn't
just
evolve
into
what it
is
today
by
itself.
Obviously,
I'm
being
sarcastic
about
the
automobile
evolving.
The
human body as well as every other item in nature had to have had
some awesome engineer of an intelligence beyond what any man
could conceive, wouldn't you think?, it all is so perfect.
And so inter-twined and inter-related.
So
close
to the
creation
study
that
they
realize
it is
more
intricate
than
what
they
have
any
concept
of, one
would
think
if
those
intelligent
scientists
see
that
then
why not
acknowledge
there
had to
be a
higher
intelligent
being
than
themselves
that
created
the
human
body
and its
parts
just as
there
is a
manufacturer
of the
automobile.
It
would
seem,
now,
wouldn't
it?
Do
we
really
stop
and
think?
Or take
things
for
granted?
In
other
words,
why not
stop
and
think.
And
acknowledge
reality.
If
something
is more
intelligent
than
ourselves,
why not
learn
about
and
study
that
higher
intelligence?
Why not
find
out
about
THAT
being?
And
what He
is
doing
and
why?
What
can we
learn
about
and
from
HIM?
Have
you
ever
asked
that
question?
Why
man?
What is
his
purpose?
Where
is it
all
leading?
As
I say,
I heard
that
radio
story
about
those
scientists
and
couldn't
help
but
think
they
are so
smart
they
really
don't
ask the
basic
questions
that
stare
them
right
in the
face.
I
couldn't
help
but
think
this is
a prime
reason
for AGS
Life
Academy.
Go back
to the
basics
and
THINK. Learn
to ask
the
right
questions.
Again,
it is
not my
place
to
prostylize
my
spiritual
beliefs
nor
values,
but it
really
shouldn't
take a
genius
to see
there
must be
a
higher
being
beyond
man
that
created
all
this
marvelous
creation
and an
universe
that
really
is
beyond
the
most
intelligent
minds
of
scientists
that
spend
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
to
attempt
to
re-create
the
intricacies
they
readily
find so
marvelous
in
creation
and
refuse
to
acknowledge
the
source.
They
disprove
evolution
and yet
refuse
to
acknowledge
there
must be
a God
more
intelligent
than
man.
A Being
that
created
man.
If we
first
acknowledge
reality
- there
had to
be a
God
first -
then a
whole
bunch
of
other
legitimate
questions
will crop
up.
The
whole
bunch
of who,
what,
where, why,
how,
when
type
questions
are the
real
basic
questions
to ask,
wouldn't
you
think?
One
could
expand
the
related
questions
accordingly,
couldn't
one?
Where
is the
thinking?!?!
The
common
sense?!?!
The
basic
questions...
AGS
Life
Academy
is
needed
urgently.
I
was
shocked
but not
really
with
that
interview.
So
close
to the
trees
they
couldn't
see the
forest.
And
these
are our
leaders.
Any
question
as to
why
this
world
has the
problems
it
has?!?!?
We
don't
recognize
the
Source.
Enough
said.
Now,
back to
how I
could
give
back
for all
that
has
been
given
me...
How
This
Academy
Was
Created
I
was
talking
with a
well-traveled
seasoned
professional
speaker
asking
how do
I get
into
the
speaking
circuit.
I
thought
I had
something
to
share.
She
responded
in a
way I
did not
expect.
She
agreed
that I
did
have
lots to
share
and way
too
much
for the
speaking
circuit.
She
suggested
instead
creating
a
college
or
university
and
speak
through
that
entity.
Within
a few
weeks,
several
other
respected
individuals
basically
in
other
words
said to
do the
same
thing.
I'm
slow
and
thought
about
it over
a week
or so
pondering
the
whole
concept
of
creating
a
college.
The
idea
grew on
me, not
so much
to
flatter
my ego
or
vanity,
but to
convey
some of
the
information
I
wanted
to
convey
in the
speaking
venue.
Bottom
line, I
thought
they
were
right.
I did
have a
lot to
share
and
yes, I
could
create
a
college
of
sorts,
but not
the
typical
college
of this
world.
A
different
type of
college.
An
international
type
college.
One
that
teaches
principles
AND
character
development
AND the
basics
of
living
life
abundantly,
something
I know
a few
things
about.
I
didn't
think I
was
perfect
at each
of
those
things,
but I
did
believe
I could
help
others
achieve
a
higher
level
of
achievement
than
what I
was
seeing
in this
world
currently.
And I
could
provide
direction
for
others
- the
future
students
- to
learn
how to
think
for
themselves
and
become
a
better
person
for
themself.
Hence,
AGS
Life Academy
began.
Thanks
to one
professional's
and a
few
other
respecteds'
encouragement.
When
I
mention
to
others
what I
am
doing
and
explain
a few
of its purposes,
they
marvel
and
encourage
me on
even
more
saying
they
will
buy my
book or
broadcast
the
site in
their
circles.
I,
too,
need
the
same
encouragement
AGS
Life
Academy
students
are
getting.
I am
human
just
like
YOU
filled
with
emotions
and
needs
and
wants
and
need
them
all
filled.
Just
like
YOU.
And,
I'm
getting
them
with
this
site.
Let
me know
how I
may
help
YOU
even
more.
Please.
I've
found
that
encouraging
others
encourages
me even
more.
I'm
uplifted.
Will
you
allow
me to
encourage
you so
I may
be
encouraged
and
uplifted?
Try it
and see
for
yourself.
Encourage
others
and see
if you
are not
encouraged
and
uplifted
yourself.
Try
it
and
see
for
yourself.
Encourage
others
and
see
if
you
are
not
encouraged
and
uplifted
yourself.

Modeled
After
There
is no
school
nor
college
that
is
like
this
AGS
Life Academy.
None.
Nowhere.
Having
said
that,
there
is
one
college
in
Oklahoma
that
is
better
than
this
one
and
why
this
one
is
modeled
after
that
one
in
several
respects.
That
one
is a
special
college
with
extremely
limited
access
for
future
kings
of
the
world.
A
unique
high
caliber
college
none
can
duplicate.
Not
even
this
AGS
Life Academy.
There
used
to be
three
other
institutions
of
that
caliber
in
Texas,
California
and
Britain,
but a
new
headmaster
of
sorts
came
in
and
changed
the
focus
and
they
quickly
closed.
All
of
these
campuses
were
modeled
after
others
dating
back
thousands
of
years.
There
is a
unique
history
to
these
schools
to
say
the
least.
Truly,
a
great
honor
goes
with
them
as
they
were
established.
This
AGS
Life Academy
is
modeled
in
many
ways
after
the
one
in
Oklahoma,
but
no
where
near
the
caliber
of
that
one.
None
can
be.
It is
a
start,
however.
If
you
wish,
a
Prep
School.
Do
YOU
Fit
The
Mold?
This
prep
Academy,
however,
is geared
for
the
masses
of
the
world
and
is opened
up
for
anyone
in
the
world
that
would
like
to be
a
future
leader
with
a
different
attitude
and
makeup
than
most
leaders
today.
A RECEPTIVE
leader
with
vision.
A
leader
with
character
looking
to
serve
their
people
as
they
need
to be
served.
A
leader
looked
up to
and
admired
with
great
respect
and
honor.
And
who
follows
willingly
and
submissively
with
few
questions
or
problems.
Consider
the Age
Receptivity
of
potential
students.
This
AGS
Life Academy
does
not
care
about
one's
background,
race,
gender,
or
anything
else.
First,
it
considers
we
are
all
human
beings
made
up of
males
and
females
with
different
likes
and
dislikes,
strengths
and
weaknesses,
assets
and
liabilities,
wants
and
desires
in
all 7
areas
of
living
coming
with
different
backgrounds
and
cultures
from
all
over
the
world.
All
with
"baggage"
they
bring
to
the
table
with
them.
This
AGS
Life Academy
looks
to
take
that
beginning
realization
where
someone
currently
is -
male
or
female
and
their
"baggage"
(background)
- and
take
them
and
develop
them
to be
the
best
they
can
be
overcoming
whatever
shortcomings
they
may
have
(we
all
have
them
- the
shortcomings,
including
me
which
makes
none
any
better
than
another,
including
me).
The
future
is
what
this
AGS
Life Academy
is
all
about.
Your
potential.
Your
awesome
incredible
potential.
In
the
fullest
sense
of
the
expression.
This
AGS
LIFE Academy
is not
for
everyone
and it
is not
designed
that
way
Part
of
being
a
student
at
this
Academy
is an
attitude.
And
it
begins
right
now.
The
potential
you
have
in
front
of
you
will
take
sacrifice.
Study.
Work.
And THINKING.
Serious
thinking
for
yourself.
If
YOU fit
the
mold,
perhaps,
eventually,
you may
be
fortunate
enough
to
qualify
to take
courses
from
The
Master
College
in
Oklahoma.
So one
might
say,
this is
a
distant
type
prep
school
for
that
one.
There
is no
direct
connection
between
this
Academy
and
that
one
however.
Just
making
a
comparison
only
and
acknowledging
their
superiority.
This
one is
directed
to a
totally
different
market
that
one may
not
reach
in this
lifetime.
Are
YOU
Willing?
Today
is the
first
day of
the
rest of
your
life.
How do
YOU
want
YOUR
future?
Are YOU
willing
to do
what is
necessary?
Each
student
MUST
prove
things
for
themselves.
Strongly
suggested
and
recommended
DO
NOT
believe
any
being
on
earth
without
proving
it
for
yourself.
This
includes
me
and
this
website.
I'm
still
flawed
and
filled
with my
set of
problems
and
issues.
Please,
copy
only
those
things
I do
that
are
positive,
uplifting,
encouraging,
and
right.
You
will
live
with
whatever
decisions
YOU
make.
Cause
and
effect.
You
cannot
blame
someone
else,
well,
you
can
but
it
does
no
good
in
the
end.
You
are
what
YOU
determine
you
are.
This
is
done
whether
intentionally
or
unintentionally
by
what
YOU
do or
don't
do.
Therefore,
why
not
determine
that
from
this
moment
forward
you
are
going
to be
someone
super
special
AND
then
let's
go
out
and
achieve
that
goal.
That
objective.
It
really
is
that
simple.
It
must
begin
in
YOUR
own
mind.
Then,
it
can
be
achieved.
I
mean
that
very
sincerely.
It
really
is
that
simple.
Determine
where
YOU
want
to be
In
many
ways,
I'm a
product
of
that
determination.
From
extreme
"Basket
Case"
of
basket
cases.
I've
been
blessed
over
the
years
having
gone
from
nothing
to
having
lived
and
treated
as
royalty
and
then
everything
wiped
out
from
underneath
me
due
to no
cause
of my
own
and
then
truly
blessed
in
ways
I
could
not
imagine.
In
other
words,
I've
experienced
the
ups
and
downs
and
back
to
awesome
ups
again.
All
within
a
short
span
of
time.
I've
experienced
it
all.
And
that
motivates
me to
share
some
of
what
I've
learned
to
others.
I
realize
not
everyone
that
says
yes,
means
yes.
Talk
is
cheap.
It
really
is
what
is in
the
heart
that
counts.
AND,
I
don't
care
about
YOUR
background
or
YOUR
past.
Quite
frankly,
give
me
the
worst
of
the
worst.
Those,
I've
found
from
experience,
are
easier
to
transform.
They
are
more
realistic
AND
willing
to
change.
If
YOU
are
receptive,
willing
to
put
the
time
and
effort
in,
then
you
can
be
transformed.
You
can
be
changed.
You
can
be a
true
leader.
In
the
fullest
sense
of
the
word.
That
simple.
Shall
we
transform
YOU
into
being
a
high-caliber
unique
leader
with
character
that
attracts
people
around
you
admiring
you,
respecting
you,
almost
worshipping
you?
(I
don't
recommend
that,
but
some
could
do
that
based
on
seeing
what
you've
done
in
your
transformation.)
All
it
may
take
is 6
months
for
your
foundation
to be
formed.
Understand,
it
will
still
take
6
months
from
whenever
YOU
decide
to
begin...
Think
what
6
months
from
now
might
be
like.
YOU
could
be a
different
YOU
in 6
months.
Think
where
YOU
might
be
after
the
devastation
that is
coming
quickly.
Your
future
is in
YOUR
hands.
Whenever
YOU
decide.
Remember,
tomorrow
is
the
first
day
of
the
rest
of
your
life.
Why
not
start
NOW?
One
Final
Thought
Here
is one
final
thought
to
leave
you
with.
It
comes
from a
booklet
entitled The
7 Laws
of
Success
by
Herbert
W.
Armstrong,
who went from
28 years of
dire poverty to an income
in excess of
$200 million
annually
before he died
in 1986. A
man all
can
learn
from,
hence,
his Autobiography
is one
of the
textbooks
at AGS
Life
Academy.
7
Laws of Success*
One
concept towards
success:
1. Fix
the right goal
- (Completing
this 6 month The
Foundation
exercise
may assist you
in
crystallizing
your goal
setting
providing you
with a roadmap
to achieve your
objectives.)
2.
Education or
preparation -
(Learning
to understand
the whys behind
your decisions
as your
foundation
progresses
forward may
give you more
rapid peace of mind. Then, learn all you can about your subject
before discerning what you want to keep and what you want to discard
tailored to YOU transforming YOU to match YOUR right goal.)
3.
Good health -
(Isn’t
it time to
reduce the
stress in your life
while having
increased fun
improving the
quality of life
with your
family?
Learn what
causes good
health... and
... sickness or
poor health. Then implement only those secrets that causes good
health ... and ... be in good
health.)
4.
Drive, doing,
accomplishment
- (Are
you serious or
just wishing or just flapping your gums?)
5.
Resourcefulness
- (Attitude
affects all
areas of
life.
Possibly consider using
cost-effective
professionals as well as free
resources while you
retain making
all the
decisions in
your quest for
a
sound
balanced
life
based on YOUR right goal for YOU. A
super word of caution is needed in this day and age as many professionals
no longer really put
their clients first, unfortunately. It may take extra effort to find those
resources (human or other) that do and that takes resourcefulness.)
6.
Perseverance or
stick-to-itiveness
- (Regardless
of income,
assets, debts
and/or credit
status,
or
promotions
or
progressions
in life, most
new Referrals
and Clients or Students will experience
distracting
events sooner
or later.
Plan for them
with
determination
addressing
them in
advance
with flexible
alternate plans
to continue in
YOUR
progress. Then, hang on regardless of circumstances.
Many cases prove just before greatness, is the bleakest of periods.)
7.
Contact with,
guidance and
help from the
correct source
- (This
system can’t
replace THE
Master, but it
might be able
to help you
help yourself
in many ways.)
