Linkage For Life (University of You & FreeEach)
Jack Carney, Beijing, China
“Most human problems and their further problem-causing 'solutions' are created by fear of freedom and can never be 'solved' -- rather, they are 'dissolved' in the primordial solution of freedom." Jack
“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"Libertarianism: The radical notion that other people are not your property." Anonymous
"The most dangerous members of our society are those grownups whose powers of influence are adult but whose motives and responses are infantile." E.A. Overstreet
   
The Collectivist Alpha-Ape on my left symbolizes those who I oppose
the evolutionary stunted Politicians-Technocrats-Managers-Bankers-Educators-Lawyers --
the Power Elite of the Welfare-Warfare-Corporate State and the New (& Old) World (Dis) Order
who "Shepherd" the Ids & Superegos of the "Sheeple" and direct their persons.
To become free you must first know why you are not free.

Linking Freedom to Responsibility, Sympathy, Knowledge
“Most people want self-determination for themselves and subjection for others;
some want subjection for everyone; only a few want self-determination for everyone.” Thomas Szasz
"A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves." Bertrand de Jouvenel
Ellwood P. Cubberley (famous American educator) wrote in his Columbia Teachers College Dissertation of 1905
that schools were to be factories "in which raw products, children, are to be shaped and formed into finished products...
manufactured like nails, and the specifications for manufacturing will come from government and industry."

Ni Hao! Hello!
This is Jack coming to you from his home-office in Beijing – Welcome to my website!
I hope I can be of unique use to you.
Whether I teach English, culture or business courses, personality Type,
consult with couples having relationship problems...whatever...
what I'm really trying to do is this:
To help myself and you locate – and then, if we so choose – break those "links"
of our genetic and social-cultural conditioning that serve force and fear,
so we can then create more consciously caring linkages with the Human Condition,
and turn the love of learning into the learning of love.

I begin with four propositions:
1. You are absolutely free to do anything, except this:
you cannot justly initiate (act out first) physical aggression, for ANY reason --
there is NO moral justification for physically aggressing against another person.
2. You can't control another person --
you might be able to force them to do what you want
but in the end this will not satisfy either of you.
3. You are always trying to control yourself and your world
to obtain whatever you most value at the time
in the best ways you can manage -- even when
the ways you choose are harmful to yourself or others --
only YOU are responsible for the choices you make.
4. EVERY freely entered into relationship, is an exchange of services/goods
from Greatest Love to having your shoes shined,
where each believes he receives more than he gives,
or else the interaction would not be undertaken --
therefore, what we are giving and taking from each other, is who we are.
Some of the areas of learning I enjoy exploring:
Learn about your own and others' personalities
16 Types, 4 Temperaments & 5 Traits--and why we act the way we do.
Learn how to effectively cope with conflict and relate better
to your wife/husband, children, in-laws, friends and workmates.
Learn how differently Westerners and Chinese actually think and perceive
(cultural-cognitive differences) their worlds.
Learn the Art of Living and Loving
from the ancient and modern philosophers, poets and artists.

for no extra cost in the small fee to be charged for my services and goods.
2. Consultant for Individuals, Couples and Organizations
When I "consult", I try to create the conditions that allow each individual to be:
- Valued as an end in themselves as well as a means to another’s end
- A meaningful whole that is part of other meaningful wholes
- Free to determine their actions and be responsible for the consequences
- Informed of influences that involve and evolve them
- Treated as an interdependent adult rather than as an independent adolescent or dependent child
3. Worker With Words
I many years of experience working as an editor with undergrad and postgrad students and businesspersons,
helping them draft and craft theses, personal statements and business plans. My very wide range of reading and study
across many disciplines make me a deep and unique resource for writers wanting to go beyond the usual academic
conformity or standard business models. Personal before professional, my rich human experience is on tap, so use me!

Unzip those lips!!! Learn to speak and understand useful English.

building better relationships with those you love -- and learn English at the same time.
Learn to communicate in specific kinds of English such as for marketing, finance, science, medical, etc.
5. Unique Resource Locator
I fit my name: I am a "Jack of all Trades, Master of None",
that is, I know a little about a lot, and am interested in many things.

The chances are I will be able to find the resource you need, even if you don't yet know you need it!
The Roles I Enact to Help You G.R.O.W. 
Growing Through Whoa to WOW! (W.orld O.f W.onder)
G.uide – I point out obstacles in your way that might be too obvious for you to see (more about this later);
and lend a supportive shoulder when you are dizzy with freedom;
or an able hand-up when you have fallen through your familiar net of security.
R.esourcer – I provision you to have the means to stand alone
and understand yourself and others so as to make better choices
that increase your own and others’ self-determination.
O.rganizer – I help you execute your own authentic order
without going out of control into the control of others.
W.indow – I open opportunities to see yourself through others
and others through yourself.
“While we are alive, therefore, what we have to give to each other is at one and the same time the simplest yet most sublime gift--ourselves." James J. Lynch
