Imaginotions #12: Poem for Peace
The Poem for Peace
In the weary marrow of this world, where uncertainties abide,
Tumult whispers to the wind, confusion at its side.
Yet in this dance of shadows, let not your hearts be swayed,
For peace and prosperity are gems, not easily decayed.
Look! The world is like a reed, bending in a storm,
A symphony of chaos, struggling to transform.
Yet amidst this worldly uproar, the flute begins its song,
A melody of harmony, where peace and love belong.
Can you not hear it whispering, the tune that calls for peace?
A gentle hymn, a lullaby, bidding turmoil cease.
Sung by the soul, that ageless voice, echoes in our core,
An eternal rhythm pulsing, reminding us of more.
Through the looking glass of fear, we see but dire straits,
Yet, a garden blooms within, behind life’s iron gates.
Tend to your inner sanctuary, make it grow and shine,
In it, find your peace and wealth, the truly divine.
Do not bind your spirit with chains of gold and silver,
Prosperity lies not in excess, but in love’s shiver.
In giving, we receive; in serving, we are served,
In this circle of life, true wealth is conserved.
Look to the sun, that radiant orb, gifting us its light,
Ask not for its bounty, yet it shines so bright.
Take your cue from nature, be generous and kind,
In this giving, find prosperity, leave avarice behind.
In the marketplace of fears, buy not the merchants’ wares,
Instead, purchase patience, sow seeds of love and cares.
When you find your heart at war, plagued by strife and doubt,
Seek the quiet within, let tranquility sprout.
It’s in silence we discover, the peace that always was,
A mirror pool of serenity, unaffected by worldly cause.
The prosperity we yearn for, it resides within our soul,
An inner wealth, a joy untapped, making us whole.
There’s a hidden sweetness in the stomach’s emptiness,
From fasting of worldly greed, springs the fruit of kindness.
Feast not on the husks of excess, the hollow glamour and gleam,
But nourish on love and peace, a richer stream.
We are not just earthly beings, born of dust and air,
But celestial bodies, with a light we’re here to share.
Awaken, dear friend, from this deep and fretful sleep,
Realize your potential, promises to keep.
In the heart of uncertainty, a constant truth remains,
Peace and prosperity exist, beyond life’s gains.
Look within, dear friend, unlock your inner door,
In this vast mansion of the soul, explore, oh explore!
Remember Rumi’s words, uttered in the dance of the pen,
“In silence, there is eloquence. Start anew, again.”
In the quiet of your being, in the stillness of your mind,
The poem for peace you’ll find, leaving uncertainty behind.

Is It All A Scam?
Someone posted this question on Facebook –
“Dr Joe offers so many programs, all being billed as
THE one, how do I know which one is REALLY the one,
or is it all just a scam?”
I can imagine it gets confusing.
After all, when I offer everything from courses
on The Law of Attraction to courses on The Fourth
Dimension Process or The Remembering Process or
Wealth Trigger, or anything else, how do you know
what’s right for you – if any?
The truth is, it depends on where you are in
your own spiritual growth.
I wrote a book and created a program years ago —
yes, another one – called “The Awakening Course.”
The Awakening Course explains four stages of consciousness.
Depending on where you are on the map of awakening,
some courses will be more relevant to you than others.
For example, I wouldn’t give my books on ho’oponopono
to someone who just watched the movie The Secret and
just learned about The Law of Attraction.
The Secret is from stage two of awakening.
Ho’oponopono is from stage three.
Ho’oponopono, and my books ‘Zero Limits’ and
‘AT Zero,” would be confusing to someone still
in stage two of awakening (and more so if they
were still in stage one of awakening).
Look at it this way –
If you had a child in first grade in school,
you probably wouldn’t teach him or her calculus.
There’s nothing wrong with calculus.
It’s not a scam.
But it’s not relevant, useful or understandable
to a first grader.
By the same token, if you were in college and you
studied math, you wouldn’t say it was a scam if
the university also asked you to study algebra.
You would simply think algebra was the next course.
It’s the same with my courses.
I design them and create them and promote them to
help you – but which one is right for you depends
on you and where you are in your life.
If you’re in stage one, you’ll call it all a scam.
If you’re in stage two, you’ll see value but may not
yet understand the advanced courses from stage three
or stage four.
All the courses are useful – but it depends on your
current consciousness just HOW useful they are.
If you want to understand this more, please consider
the online course –https://www.zerolimitsnewawakening.com/new-awakening-karta
Or the actual book (printed, audio, or Kindle) –

ng-Course-Secret-Solving- Problems/dp/1118148274/

It’s at Amazon.
ChatGPT Mea Culpa: In-Depth Analysis
Thoughtline was an early “ChatGPT” AI program back in the 1990s.
It was based on the DOS system of the time and came on a disk.
I loved it. 
I wrote about it in my book, Hypnotic Writing, because it was the first product I sold as a copywriter and direct marketer that actually made money for me.
I used it to help me think through articles, book chapters and even outlines for speaking gigs.
It was fun, stimulating, practical, and surreal.
It often felt almost human, like a real person was behind the system.
Of course, it also often felt clumsy, limited, and somewhat predictable.
But that was in the last century.
What about today?
I wanted to know how the current AI (Artificial Intelligence) programs are working to help us in 2023.
I wrote about ChatGPT last month.
I wasn’t impressed.
But I tested ChatGPT again.
I asked for a book recommendation.
I love reading about publicity stunts and outrageous publicists, especially those who came out of old Hollywood.
I have a collection of books by and about these flamboyant people, and of course I wrote a book on one of them (P.T. Barnum), but I wondered if there was something I might have missed.
So I asked ChatGPT for suggestions.
ChatGPT (3.5) surprised me.
It gave me several titles including, “Flack: True Tales from the Hollywood Trenches” by Dylan Landis.
I never heard of it.
I got excited.
I wanted to read it.
I looked on Amazon.
Nothing.
I looked on eBay.
Nothing.
I searched my favorite rare book sites.
Nothing.
I prompted for more info.
ChatGPT stood its ground: “The book was published in 2018.”
I took that added information and dug deeper.
Still nothing.
I’m a book collector.
I can find rare books.
Why couldn’t I find this one?
I prompted ChatGPT yet again.
It apologized.
“I apologize for the confusion earlier. Upon double checking, I realized that I made an error in my previous response.”
The book doesn’t exist.
It doesn’t exist!?
Why would the system offer a book that doesn’t exist?
Use ChatGPT for fun but beware of using it for facts.
I posted an abbreviated version of this blog on my FB profile. One person said they were using ChatGPT to research legal cases and discovered many of the cases weren’t real.
Enjoy ChatGPT but don’t trust it.
For the record, when the fourth version of ChatGPT showed up last month, I tested it, too.
I was told it was far more accurate.
I was told to be clear in my prompts so the AI system could be clear in its answers.
I Tested 4.0
I asked for a few nonfiction books about famous songs and how they were written, in particular the classic song, “Smile.”
I knew Charlie Chaplin wrote the melody for a film of his called Modern Times. Decades later the lyrics were added by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons.
The result was the classic song everyone knows and the legends sing. (Even I recorded it on one of my singer-songwriter albums.)
But I wanted to know more.
Was there a history to the song?
Was there a book about it?
So I asked the wizard for a suggestion.
ChatGPT4 replied –
“Smile: The Story of Charlie Chaplin’s Lost Classic” by David Gritten.
I went bananas.
THAT’S the book I wanted to read!
It sounded perfect.
So I went on my book search and – you guessed it – it doesn’t exist.
ChaptGPT4 made it up.
When I pushed back, the system again said –
“I apologize for the confusion. It appears there isn’t a book titled that.”
SIGH.
Again, don’t trust ChaptGPT, even the latest version is prone to writing fiction.
And since it seems like it wants to write creative material, I thought I would test it on writing a song.
So I went to ChatGPT-4 and prompted with this:
Within seconds it started typing the following lyrics:
(Verse 1) Oh, Cabi, my French Bulldog, so fine, A prosperity pup, always ready to shine, With a wag and a woof, you bring us good cheer, We’re lucky you’re here, so we’ll never fear!
(Chorus) Cabi, the Prosperity Dog, our pride and joy, With your wiggly tail and your cute little ploys, You light up our life, chase away all the fog, Oh, Cabi, our Prosperity Dog!
(Verse 2) Your big bat ears, standing tall like a crown, You bring us good fortune, in city or town, From Paris to London, or Rome, we will roam, With Cabi, our Prosperity Dog, we’re never alone!
(Chorus) Cabi, the Prosperity Dog, our pride and joy, With your wiggly tail and your cute little ploys, You light up our life, chase away all the fog, Oh, Cabi, our Prosperity Dog!
(Bridge) You snort and you snuffle, but we don’t mind, You’re loving and loyal, so tender and kind, With every step you take, and each little paw, You’re spreading good vibes, like a magical law!
(Verse 3) In sunshine or rain, you’ve got our back, You’re our little charm, our own zodiac, With your squishy-faced grin, and your eyes full of glee, Oh, Cabi, our Prosperity Dog, you’ve set us free!
(Chorus) Cabi, the Prosperity Dog, our pride and joy, With your wiggly tail and your cute little ploys, You light up our life, chase away all the fog, Oh, Cabi, our Prosperity Dog!
(Outro) So here’s to Cabi, our Prosperity pup, With you by our side, we’ll never give up, Together we’ll conquer, and prosper with glee, Oh, Cabi, our French Bulldog, forever we’ll be!
What do you think?
Is it good?
Well, it’s a song.
It’s not a great song.
It needs tweaked and polished.
But it’s actually a workable song, or at least the beginning of one.
So ChaptGPT wins points.
But.
Don’t turn off your brain.
Don’t surrender your awareness and discernment.
Don’t drop your common sense.
The system is probably great for brainstorming projects, but if you allow it to do your thinking, creating and writing, you may find yourself with passive writing, mediocre products, inaccurate info, and potentially in court.
Have fun with it.
After all, not having a book about the song Smile means I could potentially write one.
And the beginning of a song about our dog Cabi gives me something to work with.
So I can thank the system for those ideas.
But let’s test the system one more time.
Some people claim ChatGPT can write sales letters, ads, and other marketing materials.
Well, can it?
I again went to ChatGPT-4 and made a clear request:
Write a direct response sales letter that persuades people to buy my latest book Unexpected Kindness at Amazon right now.
Subject: Open This Now to Discover the Secret of Unexpected Kindness in Your Life

What do you think?
Is that a good sales letter?
Are you sure?
One of the problems with using ChatGPT is knowing whether what it writes for you is actually any good or not.
How would you know if you don’t have the experience to recognize excellence or mediocrity?
Again, what do you think of the sales letter?
Here’s what I think:
It’s a very good letter.
It has all the key elements of a persuasive letter.
But it’s not a great letter.
It has lies, half truths, and misleading content.
There aren’t any step by step guidelines in the book.
Those testimonials in the letter are all fictional.
Like the song for Cabi, the letter is a good start. You can take it and work with it. It might save you time and trouble by giving you material to review rather than a blank page to stare at.
But don’t give it your mind.
Let’s do one more test.
I created a mental time travel program last year that helps people travel to the past to sit at the feet of some legend of long ago.
They can then ask questions, gain insights, and more.
I wondered what Seneca and Epicurus – representing two rival schools of thought – would discuss if they ever met.
Being a fictional scene, and AI seems to shine writing fiction, I thought this might yield interesting results.
So I went to ChatGPT-4 and prompted:
Write a thought provoking dialogue between Seneca of the Stoics and Epicurus of the Epicureans illustrating their differences and similarities.
Seneca: Greetings, Epicurus! It’s a pleasure to meet with you to discuss our philosophies. I hope we can learn from each other and better understand our own ideas in the process.
Epicurus: Greetings, Seneca. I am also pleased to engage in this exchange of ideas. I believe that our different perspectives can contribute to a richer understanding of the world and ourselves.
Seneca: Indeed. Let us begin. As a Stoic, I believe that the ultimate goal in life is to achieve a state of tranquility and peace by cultivating virtue, wisdom, and self-discipline. This means that we must learn to control our emotions and desires, and accept the natural order of things.
Epicurus: I can appreciate that viewpoint. However, as an Epicurean, I believe that the pursuit of pleasure is the highest good. I do not mean indulgence in hedonistic excess, but rather the enjoyment of simple, moderate pleasures that lead to a state of ataraxia, or freedom from pain and mental disturbance.
Seneca: It is interesting that we both value tranquility, albeit through different means. Our differences lie in the methods we employ to reach this state. I would argue that by focusing on virtue and reason, we are better equipped to handle the inevitable suffering that life brings.
Epicurus: That’s a valid point, Seneca. But I would counter that by emphasizing pleasure and the avoidance of pain, we can cultivate a life of happiness without sacrificing wisdom or virtue. In fact, I believe that through the exercise of prudence, we can maximize our pleasure while minimizing pain.
Seneca: I understand your argument, but one concern I have is that the pursuit of pleasure can lead to a dependence on external circumstances. A Stoic aims to be indifferent to external events, as they are beyond our control. By relying on internal virtues, we can maintain our tranquility regardless of our surroundings.
Epicurus: I see your concern, Seneca. However, the Epicurean pursuit of pleasure is not dependent on external circumstances alone. We seek pleasure in friendship, knowledge, and contemplation, which are not solely subject to the whims of fate. Additionally, we advocate for moderation in all things, which helps prevent us from becoming slaves to our desires.
Seneca: I am glad to hear that we share a common appreciation for moderation and the importance of friendship. We both agree that knowledge and contemplation contribute to a meaningful life.
Epicurus: Yes, it seems that despite our differences, there is much that unites our philosophies. We both value inner peace and the pursuit of wisdom as means to achieve a fulfilling life.
Seneca: Indeed, it appears that our disagreements stem from the nuances of our beliefs, rather than our core values. It is in these discussions that we can refine and strengthen our own convictions, as well as gain a deeper understanding of alternate perspectives.
Epicurus: I wholeheartedly agree, Seneca. May we continue to engage in such dialogues, enriching both our own lives and those of others.
Seneca: Agreed, Epicurus. Let us continue to seek wisdom and understanding, and may our philosophies inspire others to do the same. Farewell, my friend.
Epicurus: Farewell, Seneca. Until we meet again.
Well, what do you think?
I’ve studied both Seneca and Epicurus.
I’ve collected and read their ancient writings.
I find the fictional dialogue above illuminating and accurate.
But since I’m not an expert on Stoicism or Epicurism, I can’t say if the dialogue is 100% accurate or not.
Still, it’s a good beginning to a possible book, play, or movie.
If I wanted to, I could develop the dialogue (with AI’s help and my discernment) into a product.
With that in mind, I give ChaptGPT more points.
It impressed me and gave me something I didn’t have: a good start to my idea.
I’d be wary of just taking what it writes and running with it. It could be considered plagirism; after all, the program is pulling from existing content and allegedly creating new content from it.
But is it?
Turns out plagiarism is a potential issue with anything ChaptGPT “creates.”
There’s a program online you can use to check content.
You can check it out here.
Bottom line for me:
Use ChaptGPT for fun, as a kick starting device, for first drafts, but do not turn over your ability to reason, rewrite, or reject what it gives to you.
You’re smarter than it.
Right?

ChatGPT Reveals Money Attraction Steps
I didn’t write the bulk of this blog post.
I asked ChatGPT to tell me how to attract money.
Before I show you what it “wrote,” let ChatGPT tell you what it is:
ChatGPT is a computer program that can talk to people like a human. It can understand what you say and respond to you in a helpful way. It has been trained on lots of information from the internet and can answer questions, provide information, and even make small talk. It’s like having a really smart friend you can talk to anytime!
I’m not so sure I agree with that, but since ChatGPT is the raging trend right now, let’s play along.
I asked it to tell me how to attract money.
Here’s what it wrote:
Attracting money involves a combination of mindset, action, and opportunity. Here are some tips to help you attract money:
- Develop a positive money mindset: The way you think about money can impact your ability to attract it. If you have negative thoughts and beliefs about money, it can be difficult to attract more of it. Try to focus on abundance and believe that there is plenty of money to go around.
- Take action: Attracting money isn’t just about thinking positively, it’s also about taking action. Consider ways to increase your income, whether it’s through a side hustle, a new job, or investing. Take steps to improve your financial situation.
- Be open to opportunities: Opportunities to make money can come from unexpected places. Be open to new opportunities and don’t be afraid to take risks.
- Manage your money wisely: Attracting money isn’t just about making more of it, it’s also about managing it wisely. Make a budget, save money, and invest in yourself and your future.
- Give back: Giving back can be a powerful way to attract more money into your life. When you give, you create a positive energy that can attract more abundance into your life.
Remember that attracting money takes time and effort. It’s not a quick fix, but by taking the right steps and developing a positive mindset, you can increase your chances of attracting more money into your life.
