Dear Subscribers,
We extend continued thanks to persons from all over the United States and Canada for your interest in our Transforming Dragons Personality Transformation Program TM (TDPTP). We are gratified at the growing awareness of a larger purpose behind our work; that is, transforming neurological chaos into coherence one brain at a time. We are also striving to awaken people to more of their full potential through TDPTP. We have also inaugurated a network for awakening individuals to facilitate each other in the continuation of their expanding awareness.
What to Expect After Listening
by Gerald Vind, PhD
The TDPTP program uses a listener’s imagination to recreate an alternative experience for them. Listener’s are guided into a mental/emotional state as if they are a fetus inside their mother’s womb. And then, they are presented four different positive alternative imaginary experiences that the listener’s brain accepts as real (or more desirable that their actual past).
Listeners positive emotional experiences have both a cognitive and an emotional component that are experienced in their respective parts of the brain: the neocortex and limbic system. Through the listener’s process, there is a re-framing of their emotional neurochemical coding and emotional response thresholds.
Most listeners to the TDPTP audio presentation experience a positive emotional story-content of the four TD modules associated with their imaginary parents. The negative and maladaptive early programming that we call "dragons" are re-imprinted with positive parental images and comforting relational experiences.
There is a shift that takes place through the re-framing process, that is, a new pattern of associations between the listener’s neurochemical foundations and their outer world are developed. The results are part of an ongoing process that begins immediately, and yet the listener’s awareness of changes are often obscured by the shifts that happen to their basic emotional foundations. Changes occur over a period of months and even years, and they are best revealed through regular introspective entries in a journal or diary.
Going through the TDPTP experience has the added benefit of expanding a listener’s awareness about themselves and their relationships with both parents, and with others; and in addition the listener’s view of the world expands. Also, listeners develop a sense of empowerment from the TDPTP process as they shift their view of themselves from being at the effect of others, to being at cause (the creative source) in all of their life experiences.

The Developing Phenomena
by Claire Papin
The community of professionals who are finding great value in prenatal re-imprinting, and similar modalities, is growing at a rapid pace. I recently interviewed Dr Bruce Lipton on my radio program about his latest, and very popular book, The Biology of Belief. He spoke highly of prenatal re-imprinting as one of the select few healing modalities that he recommends.
Similar works to prenatal re-imprinting (See: www.pnri.net) have also been very beneficial. One in particular that Dr. Vind especially encourages is for pregnant mothers and expectant fathers is to communicate with their unborn child regularly with positive intention, nurturing messages, and loving energy. Dr Vind not only wants to help those who are already born with his prenatal re-imprinting work, but also those who are yet to come into this world.
One book in particular that addresses this type of work is, Communing with the Spirit of Your Unborn Child by Dawson Church. For those who are expecting a baby, or concerned with the issues of raising a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthy child in a culture mostly focused on the material world. Church draws on the latest research in prenatal awareness. Whether you’re speaking to your own unborn child, or having a prenatal re-imprinting session for yourself, the idea is the same…to connect with the beautiful being inside and nurture that being with great Love.
Imagine a world where more and more members of the human race have a start in life, or even a restart, that gives them the confidence and unencumbered creativity and courage to live and share a life that they truly are happy living. I believe the world would begin to look very different, and begin to transform to a greater state of harmony and peace…a thriving world with endless possibilities for prosperity, abundance, good health, joy, and sustainability. A place a lot like heaven! “Impossible” some might say…but that kind of transformation has already begun, and tools such as Transforming Dragons are helping this greater awareness reach many more.

The Science Within TDPTP - NEURAL CIRCUITS
by Gerald Vind, PhD
Everything that we experience has a correspondence in neural circuits that form networks in our brain. Mental/emotional problems do not exist in a specific area of our brain. These problems are the result of dysfunctional or maladaptive interactions between various areas of our brain, especially with areas that are in (or near) the innermost part of our brain. These areas are the first to be imprinted while we are growing inside our mother's womb; and negatively imprinted in a foundational neurochemical code that is formed by our mother's response to extreme stress.
Okay, there are some readers who’s eyes glaze over with the nomenclature and descriptions of the detail inner-working of the human brain. Nonetheless, it is worthwhile to at least scan the major brain areas involved in our emotional neural circuits. The top seven are:
- Amygdala (ah-meg-dah-lah) - Our primal emotional center that activates our autonomic nervous system to prepare us to fight or flee; and this activation often occurs without our conscious awareness. It performs primary roles in the formation and storage of memories associated with emotional events, and participates in modulating memory consolidation.
- Anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG) - Manages our attention, and it is part of the cingulate cortex and is an integral part of the limbic system. The ACG is involved with emotion formation and processing, learning, and memory.
- Basal ganglia - A group of nuclei interconnected with the cerebral cortex, thalamus and brainstem; and it is associated with the functions of motor control, cognition, emotions and learning.
-
Hippocampus - It has an essential role in the formation of new memories about experiences, thus it is crucial to learning. It also plays a role in spatial memory and navigation.
- Hypothalamus - Our internal regulator: It links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland.
- Intraparietal Sulcus (IPS) - Performs an important perceptual binding function of multiple features from multiple sensory stimuli, forming them into a coherent memory. The IPS is also involved in interpreting the intent of others.
- Thalamus - Our sensory switchboard: It has strong reciprocal interconnections involved with consciousness; and it plays a major role in regulating sleep, arousal, and the level of awareness and brain activity.
There, that wasn’t so difficult. And now you have a better idea of what is involved in neural circuits. The actual interaction is complex, and yet we can understand that many varied circuits and loops operate within our brain. These circuits begin to form "grooves" before we are born, and these pre-birth neural circuit patterns shape our subsequent development and personality.
During our growth inside our mother's womb, our neural circuits are imprinted with varied patterns or orchestrations of neurochemicals that correspond to patterns of stress-related emotional neurochemicals released by our mother.
During fetal development, depletion of certain neurotransmitter systems (norepinephrine, serotonin, and dopamine) as a result of severe and repetitive maternal stress can abnormally influence neuronal and synaptic development. This can produce abnormal neural circuitry, and thus, abnormal neural networks may be formed between areas that do not normally interact directly.
Our neural circuits are formed and conditioned to patterns of response, and thresholds of sensitivity that form the foundations of our personality in a primary neurochemical language, that is, in a molecular code. After we are born, we strive in various ways to create a world around us that recreates the same prenatal neurochemical patterns of emotional activation, no matter how dysfunctional that may be.
However, we now know that these foundational personality patterns can be re-imprinted, that is they can be changed under the right circumstance. The discoveries of Prenatal Re-Imprinting (PNRI) provide the science behind the TDPTP audio experience and give us a means to reshape the foundations of our personality.

Outside The Matrix - HEALTH CARE
by Gerald Vind, PhD
This is the second in a series of articles about the "Matrix" in which we live. The concept of a "Matrix" was introduced by the 1999 Sci-Fi motion picture titled THE MATRIX, written and directed by Andy and Larry Wachowski. (Although, Sophia Stewart claims to be the "mother" of THE MATRIX, and is suing the Wachowskies.) Nonetheless, the idea of being enslaved by a manipulated reality field has gained a broader acceptance.
We live in a world where knowledge about type 2 diabetes (knowledge that might save your eyesight or your life) is obscured by incomplete and biased information about the disease process.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, and it occurs initially through a largely unrecognized process that creates insulin resistant cells. That process is called glycation (non-enzymatic glycosylation), and it produces a sugar-protein glaze called Advanced Glycation End products (AGE) that coat cellular surfaces where millions of receptor sites respond to their cellular environment. The AGEs foul up the vital cellular protein structures on the cellular membrane surface.
While largely ignored by continuing medical education in the United States, glycation and the damaging effects of AGEs are causal factors in insulin-resistant (type 2) diabetes. Diabetics age prematurely from the effects of glycation, and to a lesser degree, we all suffer from the destructive effects of glycation. Too much sugar (glucose) in the blood stream causes damage to the cardiovascular system. This results in damage to the eyes, heart, nervous system, and kidneys.
Glucose is the fuel that runs our bodies. Glucose is transported into the interior of our cells through insulin receptor sites where the "machinery" of the cell (mitochondria) combine glucose with oxygen (from hemoglobin) to produce metabolic energy molecules (ATP). Our cardiovascular system is most vulnerable to glycation.
Research has identified triosephosphate isomerase as the single glucose-induced mediator and damaging mechanism to our cardiovascular system. In our natural cellular defense mechanism there is an enzyme called transketolase that transforms triosephosphate isomerase into a harmless form. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is necessary for the transketolase enzyme to function properly.
Unfortunately, the addition of vitamin B1 to the diet is only able to increase transketolase activity by an ineffective level of only 20%. However, research scientists in Germany developed a fat-soluble form of vitamin B1 called benfotiamine. Benfotiamine is able to increase in transketolase activity by 300%, and protect our cells from most of the damaging glycation mechanisms. Also, a substance called L-carnosine (beta-alanyl-L-histidine), is an important natural substance that declines with age; and L-carnosine supplementation has been effective in reversing the glycation process.
This information is largely unknown or ignored by the diabetes medical establishment. Causality for type 2 diabetes is wrongly attributed to a type of fat that is called viceral fat, and the build up of this fat around the major organs of the body. Viceral fat interferes with signaling between the various organs, especially the liver, and this leads to more viceral fat
Unfortunately, the medical establishment is strongly influenced by big pharmaceutical companies who may benefit from continued public ignorance. Some estimate that 900,000 people die from the complications of type 2 diabetes each year. With full knowledge outside of the Matrix, no one should die or be disabled by type 2 diabetes. Are we enslaved within a Matrix that profits from greater human suffering? Expand your awareness outside the Matrix, and see for yourself.
The problem goes far beyond diabetes. There is a sickness within the health care sector in the United States. We are lulled into complacency, and our awareness is dulled and deceived within a matrix of conformity and economic interests. The medical part of our health care sector projects an image of competence and capability that is far from the truth. Medicine is corrupted by the flow of large amounts of money; we are currently spending well over one trillion dollars annually on health care, and we are receiving far less health care than we should. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) published a study that supports that contention that doctors are the leading cause of death in the United States. (April 15, 1998; 279(15):1200-5).
Dr Joseph Mercola (www.mercola.com) tells his readers,
"The sad tragedy is that we are spending all of this money ($1.4-trillion) on disease management focused on drugs and surgery, and our return on this investment is profoundly poor. More and more people do not have the energy they need to get through the day while millions of others are suffering with painful crippling diseases because they have [unknowingly] violated basic health principles."
Most who elevate their awareness beyond the accepted "matrix" will discover that important health information is distorted and concealed to preserve economics special interests. Look beyond the matrix, and expand your awareness. Your health, and the health of your loved ones, depends on your growth and development.

TD and Seasonal Effective Disorder (SAD)
by Dr. Joseph DiRuzzo
Dr. DiRuzzo is the originator and leading developer of the techniques of Prenatal Re-Imprinting. He is currently working on a program to enhance human mental and physical potential through a program of prenatal nurturing and enrichment.
Seasonal affective disorder is a reduction in mood, a depressed feeling that occurs seasonally. It is sometimes called the hibernation response. Norman Rosenthal, MD is the pioneer in research into seasonal affective disorder (SAD) at the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH). Dr Rosenthal coined the term for SAD, and he said that a reduction of environmental light for any reason, for example a spell of cloudy weather, is followed by a deterioration in mood.
Virtually all humans respond to seasonal variations in daily light exposure. Some respond with the mood reduction called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. So, SAD is an emotional state induced by poor quality light, a preparatory phase of hibernation. However, since humankind lacks the physiological capacity to achieve full hibernation, we can become hung up in the preliminary shut down for hibernation. These preparatory hibernation reactions are triggered by reduced light exposure that starts a physiological shutdown for the long sleep that never comes.
This hibernation response is a neurochemical reaction of our pineal gland to a reduction in the average daily intensity and full-spectrum of the light in our environment. One of the functions of our pineal gland is to register environmental exposure to light and darkness. Located in the brain behind the frontal bone of the skull, the pineal gland has been called the "third eye." It responds to reduced light levels by converting serotonin to melatonin. Melatonin then acts as a tranquilizer to prepare us for sleep.
Melatonin production is not only from reduced light as sensed by the optic nerves, but also from light sensed by the skin, particularly on the face. Certain cells in the skin are photosensitive (melanocytes, and Langerhans skin cells) and their stimulation by direct sunlight initiates a process that blocks melatonin production.
An effective therapy for treating SAD is exposure to intense light that is close to sunlight at noontime. However, it is interesting to note that Prenatal Re-Imprinting (PNRI) has been effective in treating patients with SAD. Indeed, PNRI (and thus TDPTP) is effective in altering fundamental neurochemical patterns involved in mood disorders and depression. If you are suffering from SAD try listening to your Transforming Dragons CD and prenatally experience the sunlight on your mother's face as she goes for a walk in her favorite place.

Dear AP
You asked an interesting question about the background of the mother's voice, wondering if something negative in the dark reaches of her mind might transfer to the listener. First and foremost, the voice of the mother (Claire Papin) is that of a highly evolved being who has no negative energies (subliminal or otherwise) that might be imparted to listeners. Claire, as the listener's alternative prenatal or pre-birth mother, has a very healing and nurturing voice, and she provides listeners with four positive alternative experiences that are designed to re-imprint (write over) typical negative gestational imprints. The listener must take an active role in the process (as is explained on the TD CD) using their imagination and intention to accept the alternative reality as a new foundation for their personality. This re-imprinting is a very easy process to accomplish when listeners follow the directions provided.
