Digital delivery of Wisdom

For the body’s sustenance, complex food substances are broken down into simple building blocks and energy sources. Similarly, when complex knowledge is broken down to its irreducible minimum, it is a simple digital code or in Alpha language, “Yes” and “ No.” If these assumptions are true, then, the code on which Equilibrium Thinking, a framework and tool developed and taught by me through my website (www.eqthinking.com), through my Audio CD and through workshops is the key to the human mind. That code or key is “be at it: beat it.” With these two tools be at it, (meaning “be positive”) and beat it” (meaning beat negative), a person can navigate all the complexities of the real world. It transforms one’s emotions through enhanced emotional intelligence, one’s will through enhanced persistence quotient and one’s thoughts through reinforcing the positive and negating the negatives in his/her mind.

This thought process enabled Rajkumar Ramachandran, final year student of Vellore Institute of
Technology to overcome his negative thoughts and excel in a series of four campus placement interviews to be selected in Tata Consultancy Service. Facing the odds of stiff competition, he happened to access the website www.eqthinking.com and agreed with the premise that mere positive thinking does not enable a person to overcome the power of the deeply ingrained negatives in human nature. He learnt the new programming language for the mind from the website and within a few days broken the power of his internal conditioning to fail and instead, succeeded in overcoming his fears and tension. He continued to excel and taught many of his classmates the new programming language in which to talk to themselves. When their self talk changed, their thoughts changed, their emotions changed, their relationships changed for the better and their lives were transformed. That case study of a person who learnt my thought process without even meeting me convinced me of the ability of digital Technology to reach millions of people across the globe.

A few years earlier one John Hanson, a former
law enforcement officer in the USA sent me an email, stating that he had visited the above website and wanted an audio CD. Shortly, after he received the CD, he emailed some further questions. In the next mail, he stated that he had already experienced some changes in his mind and said that he could use it for combat conditioning of military troops.

A woman of Indian origin whose husband, a Vice President in Citicorp, N.Y. had survived narrowly the 911 attack sent me mail after being impressed by the content on the same website. She sent me feedback that it helped her overcome her post traumatic depression. Truly, eqthinking has proved to be IT with a difference- it is Insight
Technology. It is also digital as it works on a dual code of yes and no-no.

All the above examples in addition to feedback received from live Powerpoint presentations in workshops including a Videoconferencing event in which more than a thousand IT workers of Infosys in all the Infy development centers heard me convinced me that digital
Technology can be used to deliver wisdom and not mere knowledge or information. Now, a mass campaign has been launched in Tamil Nadu to reach all students in high school and colleges across the state. An eleven minute audio CD on eqthinking is played and the students are asked to access the website for further information. The schools and colleges are also asked to form eqthinking clubs to encourage eqthinking among the millions of young people in India. What President Shri APJ Abdul Kalam rightly attempted but could not fully succeed, namely imparting a 2020 vision to India’s youth can be done only through leveraging on digital Technology over a period of time.

International and Domestic Cop Books Added

January 15, 2008 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who have written books. The website added one international police author and two domestic police authors.

Gerry Mackey is a retired police officer from the Miami Beach Police Department. Gerry Mackey is the author of A Necessary End.

According to the book description of A Necessary End, “When 23 year old Katie Maguire graduated from the Miami police academy, she was ready to begin her new career with the South Beach Police Department. That's when Sergeant Steve Callaghan approached her for a special undercover assignment - as an underage prostitute. An easy detail, with very little danger. That is, until Murphy's Law took over.”

Greg Miraglia is the Dean of the Criminal Justice Training Center and Police Academy at Napa Valley College in California. He oversees one of 39 state certified law enforcement training centers in the state. Greg Miraglia began his career as a police explorer scout at the age of 15 and has since served three law enforcement agencies in positions including 9-1-1 dispatcher, reserve police officer, supervisor, division manager, and most recently as a deputy chief with the Napa Valley Railroad Police Department.

Greg Miraglia is active as a member of the Matthew Shepard Foundation Advisory Board, a faculty member of the “Stop The Hate!” program, and as a mentor for Positive Images of Santa Rosa, California. Greg Miraglia has a Masters Degree in Education Administration, a Bachelor’s Degree in Business, and is a graduate of the California P.O.S.T. Master Instructor Development Program. Greg Miraglia is the author of Coming Out From Behind The Badge: Stories Of Success And Advice From Police Officers "Out" On The Job.

According to the book description, Coming Out From Behind The Badge: Stories Of Success And Advice From Police Officers "Out" On The Job is “about how police officers can overcome law enforcement's unwritten "don't ask, don't tell" policy and live their lives as they were made to be. The book includes a collection of autobiographies of highly successful police officers from all over the country. These rarely published coming out stories of real police officers are intended to inspire the thousands of law enforcement officers who are still in the closet and who are searching for the courage to come out.”

Kuldip Sharma, joined Indian Police Service in 1976 and was allotted the Gujarat cadre. He has served as Superintendent of Police in four different districts of Gujarat including the border district of Kachchh. He has had a first hand experience of metropolitan policing during his assignment as Commissioner of Police at Rajkot, Vadodara and Surat. During the high noon of militant activity in the country, he was chosen to head the Anti-Terrorist Squad at a time when Gujarat was categorized as one of the six most hypersensitive states. Sharma Kuldip is Bachelor of Science and Laws and a PhD in Public Administration and the author of Heaven’s Light Our Guide- The Genesis of Indian Police.

According to the book description of Heaven's Light Our Guide- The Genesis of
Indian Police, “The police system in India springs from the Police Act of 1861. This was a statute created by the British in the immediate aftermath of the uprising of 1857. The field of executive police functions is enormous and covers all branches of civil administration. It has to protect human life, property, honor, religion and everything that man has created out of his constructive genius. It has to restrain every thing that degrades or destroys or arrests its progress. And it has to unite and streamline various forces to form into a smooth stream leading to the final realization of happiness and prosperity.”

Police-Writers.com now hosts 830
police officers (representing 377 police departments) and their 1752 law enforcement books in six categories, there are also listings of United States federal law enforcement employees turned authors, international police officers who have written books and civilian police personnel who have written books.
