               Computers run many areas of today's life.
           When they malfunction, work stops, chaos reigns.

     Our minds are the most powerful computers known to man. The
mind's computer is programmed through the sum of all of our
experiences and our genetic make up.  Many times these programs do not
support the life that you now choose to live resulting in stress, poor
self worth, failure and illness.  To correct these Life Program
Malfunctions we must learn to begin Reprogramming our own Human
Biocomputer.

     To better see how computers relate to our own life program, let's
examine the relationship between the Electronic computer and the Human
Biocomputer inside each one of us.

There are four essential parts to all computer systems,
     1 - Input
     2 - Output
     3 - Processor
     4 - Memory

Here is a comparison of each part as it applies to the electronic
computer and to the human biocomputer system.

Input:
     Computer:
          Keyboard, tape and disk drives, network interfaces,
          switches and many other sensing devices.
     Human Biocomputer:
          The five senses, intuition and the super senses
          (such as developed by the blind).

Output:
     Computer:
          Video displays, printers, tape or disk drives,
          networks, or any other controlled device.
     Human Biocomputer:
          Our life, including success or failures, dreams, and any
          subtle shift in how you feel, including muscle strength.

Processor:
     Computer:
          This is the main part of the computer where all decisions,
          computation and control takes place.
     Human Biocomputer:
          The mind handles all of the processor functions for the
          body.  DNA has been shown to handle processor functions
          at the cellular level.

Memory:
     Computer:
          The computer memory consists of:  RAM, ROM, tape and disk
          media and is used to store information and programs that
          control what the computer does.
     Human Biocomputer:
          The mind also serves the memory function.  Genetic code also
          holds much data that the biocomputer uses in decision
          making.  Any negative data effects our lives adversely.

     In addition, all computers require programs to tell the processor
what to do.  The processor will always do exactly what it is told even
if it is not what the programmer really intends.

     Likewise, our own life experiences and genetic codes create
programs and beliefs that control how we see ourselves and the world.
These programmed behaviors often prevent us from accepting compliments
from others because of poor self image.  They can also keep us from
seeking better employment because of poor self worth.  Such glitches
in our own life program can destroy our potential for success,
happiness and our health.

     Diagnostic programs for computers allow the programmer to isolate
and test single bits of data to identify glitches in their programs.
Once identified, the correction is made simply by entering the
corrected codes. Each one of us has a diagnostic program already
loaded in our own computer memory.  This program will allow us to
isolate the glitches in our own life program that create stress and
keep us from succeeding.

     A simple test, called the Stress Indicator Test, is done by
measuring the strength of an isolated muscle. This method of testing,
called Kinesiology, was introduced into the United States from France
in the 1950s by Dr. George Goodheart of Chicago.  Many volumes have
been written on it's use.  Two of the best reference books for the
layman on this subject are "Touch for Health" by Dr. John Thie D.C.
and "Your Body Doesn't Lie" by Dr. John Diamond M.D.

     To experience how this works lets try an experiment. It is
important to complete the experiment as the full impact of this
message cannot be understood without doing it.

STRESS INDICATOR TEST

These instructions describe how two people can do the Stress Indicator
Test. This test is gentle.  Do not overpower your partner or influence
the outcome of the test.

STEP 1:
Have the partner being tested stand erect, right arm relaxed at side
of body. Left arm held straight out, parallel to the floor.

STEP 2:
Face your partner, standing about 18" apart and in front of the
outstretched arm.  Place left hand on his/her right shoulder to
support him/her.  With the fingers of your right hand, touch his/her
left arm just above the wrist.

STEP 3:
Be neutral in your thinking as you test so you do not influence the
outcome. Do not look into the eyes of the person being tested.

STEP 4:
Tell your partner you are going to press the arm down and to "hold" or
"lock" the arm so it won't go down when you press.  Press the arm down
gently and firmly, just enough to feel the "lock" in the muscle.  The
deltoid muscle will "lock" like the leg of a card table when the
muscle is switched on.  Any other response should be considered
switched off.

STEP 5:
Ask your partner to say, "yes."  Say "Hold, one, two." Press the arm
down gently to determine how the switched-on muscle feels.  Ask your
partner to say "no."  Say "hold, one, two."  Again press the arm down
gently this time to determine how the switched-off  muscle feels.
Repeat until you have mastered the different reactions.

     Now say or think of something pleasant and then test using the
instructions in the preceding paragraphs.  The muscle should have a
firm lock.  Now say or picture something sad and retest.

     Note that the muscle is generally much stronger while feeling
happy thoughts.  Even subtle stresses can cause the indicator muscle
to go weak. A computer programmer uses a diagnostic test to see if a
computer program is going to work as intended, whenever it doesn't,
he/she will then change the program so that it will.

     Now visualize several aspects of your daily life such as making a
phone call or writing your name.  Check after each visualization.
Anything that causes the muscle to go weak is showing you that that
thing is a stress to you and needs to be reprogrammed to reduce or
eliminate this stress reaction.  This will allow a much higher level
of performance when doing that particular thing.

     Writing is a very common stressor.  Reading a few lines of
printed material will often cause the stress indicator muscle to go
weak.  Picture yourself speaking to your boss, supervisor or a
subordinate at work. Consider a challenge at home or at work.  Listen
to your teenagers. Test after each one of these challenges.  All of
these common daily activities can take away your strength and add to
your overall level of stress.  The weakened muscle indicates a need to
change your programming.

     Although getting started using kinesiology is quite simple, many
factors influence the muscle check and a degree of training and
experience will help you become much more comfortable in it's use.  It
is a skill that must be mastered just like any sport, music or art.

     More important than identifying those feelings and thoughts that
can destroy self worth and self image is the ability to change the
data in your own biocomputer to support a happier, prosperous life.

     The fastest and easiest method to effect lasting change that I
have found is with the GEOTRAN(TM) codes called "Positive Points".
Any thought, feeling or emotion that indicates stress as shown by a
weakened muscle can be reprogrammed using the Positive Points as
described here.

Positive Point Instructions:

Action 1:   At the outside of left knee. While circling clockwise with
the right hand, state "two, three" (2-3).

Action 2:   2 inches below the left knee on the outside of the leg.
While circling clockwise with the right hand, state "five, three" (5-
3).

Action 3:   4 inches below the left knee on the outside of the leg.
While circling clockwise with the right hand, state "six, five" (6-5).


     The numbers somehow carry information to the memory that will
allow you to no longer react adversely to the stress trigger. Dorothy
Wood Espiau, the creator of Geotran, tells her students that the
information given reprograms your biocomputer to see the challange
through Love, Forgiveness and Choice respectively.

     These GEOTRAN codes can either be entered by oneself or by a
partner.

     Repeat the same challenge as in the Pretest and then use the
Muscle Test to see if the stress challenge still has the same
weakening effect on the muscle.  If the muscle now tests strong, the
codes have worked.

     By clearing the stress reaction (as indicated by the weakened
muscle) with the Positive Points you then restore your choice to
respond  in a stress free manner.  This can greatly enhance efficiency
and performance in many daily tasks that now wear us down
unnecessarily. Dr. John Diamond, MD, writes in his latest book "Life
Energy" that any time that the muscle tests week indicates that the
less dominant half of the brain is shut down.

     I still use the Positive Points many times a day.  Even after 6
years of using them, I am often in awe of the many times and places
that this simple exercise helps me cope with a situation.

     It is impossible in a brief note to relate the many personal
experiences I have hade using the Positive Points.  I have used them
to help me deal with situations ranging from the itch of mosquito
bites to the stress associated with having my son accosted on his way
to school and having his Levis literally ripped off of him.

     The most powerful and convincing testimonies are always those
that we experience for ourselves.  So start trying them out, see what
the Positive Points do for you.  As you use the positive points, be
aware of how you feel inside.  Such as:  "am I calm?"  or "am I
agitated?"

      One rather amusing experience I had was to demonstrate the
effect of Positive Points on an associate at work whose major stress
at the time was his supervisor who seemed to enjoy making his life
difficult.

     At first, his muscle tested very weak when just saying his bosses
name, later I had him picture his boss in his mind as standing
directly in front of him, nose to nose, and his muscle remained strong
(after using the Positive Points).

     Within 30 minutes of his leaving my office I received a phone
call telling me that he had just finished having an argument with the
boss, this was the first time he had been able to stand up for himself
when confronted by this man.

     Of follow up interest, a short time later his boss was demoted
and moved to another area while my friend was promoted to an
engineering position in his department.

     The important thing to note here is that when the muscle tests
weak it is only a symptom of a much greater problem, that of being
effected adversely by something that heretofore you have only been
able to recognize when the stress seemed to overpower you.

     Stress is cumulative, anything you do to lessen the negative
effect of stress in your life can add immeasurable benefits to you.
Positive Points are just one of many powerful corrections to your Bio-
computer memory banks available through the techniques of Geotran.
