E-Book Testimonials

"Thomas Clifford has made something useful here. This report will give you some really catchy, useful ideas.

It made me reconsider how I do what I do, so you might give it a look-see, too!" 

Chris Brogan, President, Human Business Works 

"Tom Clifford is by trade a filmmaker. For most of his life, he rarely wrote anything longer than a brief comment in the margin of a script. 

Now, though, he's producing tens of thousands of words a year, first as a Fast Company "Expert Blogger," and then as a writer for the Content Marketing Institute. 

How did Tom go from a non-writer to a prolific and much-read one? His eBook, '5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways . . . , ' holds some of his secrets."

Mark Levy, Author of "Accidental Genius: Using Writing to Generate your Best Ideas, Insight, and Content"

“Tom is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet—if you have the privilege to meet him. And he does sterling work as well. But don’t just take my word for it.

Read this free report and you’ll not just love its tone and content, but learn a lot as well.”

Sean D’Souza, Psychotactics.com

“Anyone who wants to improve their writing needs this e-book. A lot of ebooks are short because they just don’t have much substance to offer. They’re not worth your time (and so are many of the long ones, too, for that matter). Tom’s is short because he’s so good at giving you only what you need to know. 

‘5 (Ridiculously Simple) Ways to Write Faster, Better, Easier’ lives up to its promise by example as well as in the words themselves. Tom used the very same techniques he teaches you to write this book. 

And what’s in here is not just a rehash of the same tired ideas you find coming from people who have suddenly fancied themselves as writing gurus. There are tricks in here I never heard of (like the Writing Funnel) and some I had forgotten about and was glad to be reminded of (like Sporadic Writing).”

Creativity: 5 Qualities of "Divine Discontinuity"

DateTuesday, December 18, 2007 at 09:50PM

Picture%205.png

A bit off topic but I'm going for it.

Today's leading mind-body teacher, Deepak Chopra, spoke today at the United Nations.

His topic? "Consciousness and the Pursuit of Peace." In the hour plus talk, Deepak shares his insights about the power of creativity, the creation of joy at work and the evolution of human consciousness.

Here's a few take-aways in case you're interested...

There is a new paradigm currently underway. It's called "consciousness." What will be the next phase of human evolution? The survival of the wisest.

Physical stuff is not physical. The essential nature of the physical world is non-physical...it's non-stuff. Yup.

Energy and information is the raw material of the universe.

The physical world is as proportionally void as intergalactic space. Read that again...that's a lot of space!

We are flickering in and out of existence! We are in a state of discontinuity that appears continuous.

Since we are perpetually going in and out of existence, this creates the illusion of continuity. It's the same effect as watching a movie. The frames move fast enough for our eyes to experience continuity. In fact, the movie is nothing but a series of "on" and "off" signals. The exact same thing is happening in "real" life.

Where do we "go" in the "off?" What is in the "off?" What are the qualities of being in the "discontinuity"?

Here are the five attributes of the "off" or discontinuity that leading scientists so far agree on:

1. There are infinite possibilities! There is "all that was, is and will be." Since there is no energy, no space-time, no information in the "off," only an infinite amount of possibilities can exist.

2. Non-correlation. Everything is in harmony with everything else. Everything in nature is perfectly synchronized.

3. Chaos abounds! There is a proliferation of uncertainty.

4. Quantum leaps of creativity occur through that chaos.

5. The "Observer Effect." You cannot have a physical world unless there is a consciousness to witness it.

Through cyberspace, we have for the first time the ability to gather insights from the most forward thinkers alive to achieve critical mass to heal our world.

Perhaps this gives us a glimpse into where our creativity "comes from."

If you don't get it first time around, don't worry. The lecture in not for the light-hearted.

Grab a cup of tea, folks. Do not miss this.

---Tom
