The Inner Manager by Ron Dalrymple, PhD
The Inner Manager:
Mastering Business, Home, and Self
2nd Edition
2nd Edition
Second Edition
by Dr. Ron Dalrymple
The Inner Manager is a complete mind development course, following the
journey of a young man looking to start his own business. He visits a powerful
woman who takes him on a voyage of self-discovery, where he learns the vast
powers of his own mind and is then able to transform his world into any
crystallized creation he desires, as long as it benefits humankind. This is a
powerful book you can study and restudy for years, and pass on to your children
and grandchildren, to share the massive amount of information and insight it
contains.
About the Author
For the last half century, Dr. Ron Dalrymple has
been building a theory, a new model of the mind that leaves most mental health
experts gasping for breath and checking the exits. It is a theory so bold, few
dare imagine it.
As a 19 y.o. student at the University of Maryland
in 1969, working at NASA in a gifted student program, he was struck by a
thunderbolt that changed the course of his life. Returning from NASA to his
dorm that cold November night, he asked the fateful question, can the laws of
physics and mathematics - his major - be used to explain the various fields of
psychology (he had just taken a few classes)?
He was hit by an epiphany that floored him. He saw
the mind projecting from the brain and extending throughout space and touching
the universe, reaching out in all directions in waves of light energy. He was
told by one great physicist at NASA to go research the idea, so he did...for
almost 50 years now.
In his own words, "I graduated from Maryland
in 1971 and traveled the world, studying different languages, cultures, people,
philosophies. Then I returned to graduate school at Maryland and earned a Ph.D.
in psychology in 1984, so I could build an actual theory.
"Graduate school was brutal at Maryland, where
I met a number of artful dodgers who would do anything to put a knife in your
back. But I was wearing mental Kevlar and they could not deter me.
"I learned the value of taking nothing
personally and having a titanium will.
"I then spent years doing therapy with around
15,000 patients, to see what really worked in helping people change. I dealt
with corrupt insurance companies and endless streams of therapists, some
dedicated professionals and others lost in their egos.
"By 1999, I decided to teach full-time in
Maryland's Overseas Program, in order to review all the fields of psychology to
create the final theory.
"I taught 15 courses in psychology, in Korea,
Japan, Italy and Sicily for three years, and wrote the mind shattering Quantum
Field Psychology in April 2004, while teaching in Aviano, Italy.
"The Inner Manager was published in 1989, and
is now followed by the Second Edition. It is a powerful prelude to Quantum Field Psychology, and Paradise
Found 2015 and The Endless Question,
our two films on the subject.
"Read and watch them all now. The world is
changing fast, don't be left behind."

Milliron Monday: Dick Sheets 2 25 19
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast, Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
When I first met Dick Sheets it was at Milliron Clinic. It was March 14, 2013, a Thursday. Jody and I met Dick in the late afternoon. The clinic was empty and we had the entire reception area for memories. Dick was excited to be interviewed about his time with Dr. Smith and working at Milliron Clinic. We talked for hours - about Milliron, Pete, and life in general.
“Used to be when they had a horse that they had to put on the table, I’d be the extra help,” Dick says, pointing out the window. “I’ve dragged them up the hill a time or two. I didn’t mind it. It was part of the job; took them and dropped them in a hole way back on the ridge. I remember building all the fences and wooden gates around. I sawed every board. Sawed them at Pete’s sawmill. We started with just a real little sawmill and a shed. Pete said the sawmill was always his dream. That’s why he was a very successful man. Not very many can have their dreams like that. He worked for it; he earned it. But, Jody would take the checkbook away from him. When he’d go to the auction, boy he’d like to buy things. Actually, I wasn’t around him a whole lot. I’d be working on Pete’s other houses. I wouldn’t even see him. I built Pat and Karen’s house. It’s about two miles from the clinic by horseback, and four miles if you drive. Russ Smith helped on it - Russ, Jerry Leedy, Craig Higgins, and Jeff Davis. They were all working for Pete at the time. I liked working for Pete. He would tell me what he needed done and I wouldn’t see him for a few days. He always had me doing something different.
“I was thinking about that time he broke his ankle,” Dick continues. “Pete had assigned me and Russ Smith to build a fence. We were working on the fence when he came down the creek bank to check on our progress. He was drinking a Pepsi, stepped on a rock, and went down! He twisted his ankle and didn’t spill a drop of Pepsi! ‘Oh, hell!’ He had a few choice words. We had to carry him over to get his truck. Someone took Pete to the emergency room. His bone was sticking out. They sent him up to Columbus. They gave him some kind of pain killer at the emergency room that he was allergic to. He was tough, because when he got back, it wasn’t very long until he hobbled down to the clinic on crutches. He was laid up awhile,” Dick says. “It was a bad break, but he came down to work every day. They reset his ankle and put a plate in it. Later, they removed the plate.
“One thing I remember about Pete; he was a hard worker himself,” Dick says. “He wouldn’t ask me or anybody else to do anything that he wouldn’t do. He’d get right down in the mud just the same as us. I worked on all the barns, the house he lived in, and all that. I always found work here. I know I’d still be working if I was able. I’ve worked all my life. Pete had big dreams and he made them work. Behind the clinic garage, there wasn’t anything just some piles of dirt and lumber. When we started I never dreamed it would turn out like that. He knew what he wanted. I remember we were working on an old abandoned highway bridge in New Marshfield. The bridge went over the top of the railroad track. It was wintertime. It was cold. The engineers told Pete he could have the old timbers from the bridge. That’s what we used to build the sawmill. We tore down the bridge to get the lumber. I was afraid he was going to get killed when we were tearing down the bridge. He was on the skidder and one of those steel beams came at him. Pete thought the skidder would hold it when we cut the leg off the beam. It didn’t. When Russ cut the steel beam, it jerked the skidder back. Pete was wise enough to turn the cable so the beam fell loose. The beam fell into the ravine. I told him that if that had been any of the other guys, they’d been dead. Pete said his instinct kicked in. Didn’t seem to shake him up. He just knew."
Last Friday, February 22, 2019, we remembered the family of Dr. Smith. It was on February 22, 2010 that Dr. Smith left to his Heaven home. Garrison Keillor said it best, "When a loved one dies, memories fade, there being one less person to remember it, and you are left disinherited, unarmed, semi-literate, an exile. It's like losing your computer and there's no backup."
When I mention to hard working people, like Dick, to take it easy and rest, the response is usually I'll rest when I die. Rest? No, I'm sure that he and Pete will find something to do.

Milliron Monday: Elliotsville Road 2 18 19
Abbott "Pete" Smith, D.V.M.
June 16, 1938 - February 22, 2010
Welcome to Milliron Monday where every Monday we celebrate the legacy of Pete Smith, D.V.M., and Milliron: Abbott “Pete” Smith, D.V.M. The Biography (Monday Creek Publishing 2017). A graduate of Colorado State University and a well-known veterinarian in southeast, Ohio, Dr. Smith continues to motivate and inspire.
Arriving in Athens in the Fall of 1963, Pete and his family rented a farmhouse on the outskirts of the city. Known as the "Taylor" property, the house was for sale, but out of the Smith's price range. With only the ground floor of the two-story house inhabitable, and only a little land surrounding the house, it didn't fit the Smith's lifestyle - horses, dogs, and fast-moving children. It would be temporary. Starboy, Jody's gelding, and Tinker Toy, Jessica's pony, had to be moved to Dr. Phillip's place for pasture.
Pete worked long hours as the new vet in town. While he was building his practice, Jody maintained the household. She enjoyed riding Starboy in her leisure time. After a while, Pete found the time to string electric fence at the farmhouse so that Starboy and Tinker Toy could be close to the family. Jody often saddled Starboy, put the children onboard - one in the front, one in the back - and rode the nearby trails.
What mother takes her two children horseback riding, all on the same horse? Jody Smith, the veterinarian's wife. A brave thing to do, even in the best of scenarios. But, Jody was a seasoned equestrian; Jessica and Pat were resilient.
Elliotsville Road was where children grew, horses ruled, and the Smith family became a part of the Ohio Valley; the valley where Pete Smith became a respected veterinarian and a part of the season-changing community that he loved.
