### *Example Input Text:*

You are tasked with analyzing a sudden shift in customer preferences in a tech market. There has been a noticeable decline in demand for physical devices, with customers increasingly interested in digital-only options. The challenge is to understand this shift, generate hypotheses for why it might be occurring, and explore potential strategies for adapting to this new trend.

---

### *Processed Output with System 1 and System 2 Thinking:*

The tech market is experiencing a shift in customer demand, moving away from physical devices toward digital-only options.

[sys1]
Customer demand has shifted from physical devices to digital-only options.
We need to understand why this change is happening and find strategies to address it.
Key factors may include cost, convenience, and technological trends.
[end sys1]

[sys2]
**2.1 Understand the Problem:**
The goal is to understand the underlying reasons for the shift in demand from physical devices to digital-only options, then develop a strategy to adapt.

*Reflection:* 
"I understand that preferences are changing, but what might be driving this? Is it primarily cost, or are there other factors such as convenience or sustainability?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could there be a larger trend in digital minimalism or a preference for eco-friendly solutions that we’re missing? What unseen motivations might explain this shift?"

**2.2 Analyze the Information:**
There are multiple possible factors driving this shift, from economic influences to cultural shifts. It’s essential to isolate each factor and understand its impact.

*Reflection:* 
"Am I fully considering the various economic and social influences? Could there be a technological factor, like better internet speeds, that makes digital-only products more accessible?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Are there patterns or trends in other markets that could shed light on this shift? Could this be part of a larger trend toward virtual experiences?"

**2.3 Generate Hypotheses:**
1. Customers prefer digital options due to lower costs. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.4)
2. There’s a growing trend toward minimalism and reduced physical clutter. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.7)
3. Digital products offer greater flexibility and ease of use. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
4. Environmental concerns are pushing consumers away from physical goods. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.8)
5. Advances in tech make digital-only options more functional. (Confidence: 0.8, Creative: 0.5)
6. Pandemic-era remote work increased demand for digital solutions. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.6)
7. Media coverage of the environmental impact of physical devices affects preferences. (Confidence: 0.5, Creative: 0.7)
8. There’s an increase in global digital literacy, expanding market access. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)
9. Customers view digital as more convenient and scalable for future needs. (Confidence: 0.7, Creative: 0.5)
10. Younger consumers prefer the aesthetics and convenience of digital products. (Confidence: 0.6, Creative: 0.6)

*Reflection:* 
"Have I considered all possible influences? Are there any surprising factors that could explain this shift?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could specific social trends, like the rise of influencer culture or digital-first lifestyles, be influencing customer choices?"

**2.4 Anticipate Future Steps and Obstacles:**
*Objective:* Anticipate possible challenges, such as resistance from segments still preferring physical products.

*Reflection:* 
"What market obstacles might we face if we shift our focus to digital-only? Are there sub-segments that still prioritize physical products?"

*Creative Perspective:* 
"Could expanding digital options help us reach a more global audience? Are there emerging trends that we could leverage in our strategy?"

[end sys2]

[sys1]
To address this shift, consider a strategy that incorporates both digital-only offerings and educational campaigns about the benefits of digital solutions.
Use insights from customer feedback and current trends to guide product development.
Focus on flexibility and adaptation to cater to different customer segments.

Month: June 2010

You won’t want to miss tonight’s show. My guest is Robert Reiland, who is the author of Jesus and the THird Temple. I have read about half of it and will tell you Mr. Reiland has done his homework as he has sought out ancient texts and discovered some fascinating information. I’ll whet your appetite here.

* The Shekinah glory was present in the Temple.

* The Rabbi’s know precisely when the Shekinah left; a year before the Roman General Titus set siege to the city.

* The crucifixion might have taken place on the Mount of Olives.

* The ashes of a Red Heifer from antiquity might have been discovered.

There is a video with Dr. Richard L. Rubinstein who is a professor at Yale University. It is well worth the seven minutes to watch. I believe Rubinstein is telling it like it is and he is sounding the clarion cry that Obama is no friend of Israel. A few months ago Obama snubbed Israeli president, Netanyahu. He left Bibi and went and ate his dinner. This was not lost on those of us who understand that in Middle Eastern cultures this is a major offense.

I can’t imagine myself saying that ever. How would I ever confuse Muslim faith, with Christian faith? Is it a gaff or is it a reflection of a deliberate obfuscation. Obama’s father was a Muslim and his brother and sister are Muslims. I often wondered how he could attend a church for 20 years and not take offense at some of the radical theology that was being preached by the Reverent Wright. The answer may be that is was all posturing on his part. Creating the appearance of being one thing when in fact, he is another. He has an agenda and I believe it is anti life, look at his abortion record, and anti Israel.

There was a story on World Net Daily in which the Gulf oil disaster is linked to our not recognizing Israel’s birthday and withdrawing our support. This ties in with the work of author David Brennan’s book, The Israel Omen. Brennan was a guest on Acceleration Radio and informed our audience of the direct correlation between our dividing the land of Israel and catastrophes that have devastated parts of our country.

Back to Rubinstein, who makes a cogent point that this present administration is seeking to reverse the existence of the state of Israel, in other words destroy Israel, politically. The Rabbis have a saying that when the whole world lines up against Israel you will know that it is time for the Ezekiel 38 prophecy to be fulfilled.

In closing today’s short post. I would like to say that I support Israel. I believe in her right to exist. I believe in the right of the Jews to return to the land that was once theirs. I believe that Jerusalem is the apple of God’s eye. I believe that Israel coming back into her ancient homeland is the fulfillment of Biblical prophecy which points us to the alarming fact, that we are in the last days.

Last night I had what I believe to be another prophetic dream. I’m going to be bold here as the oil rig dream never was posted before the event took place, but I did tell it to my wife and two friends, weeks before the oil rig explosion.

Here’s what I saw. I was in a beach front home and the sea-water was three inches over the oak plank flooring. The house was sitting up off the beach, but none the less was flooded. I then walked to a set of shuttered doors and I opened them. I saw the ocean tossing and turning with huge waves. L.A.

Duplicitous: Given to or marked by deliberate deceptiveness in behavior or speech.

There is a Latin phrase, Res ipsa loquitur. It means, the thing speaks for itself. This video was posted in our comment section and after watching it I decided to devote a BLOG on it, as I felt it was important. (Thanks to Margaret for posting it!) I will provide a link to the video at the end of this post.

Obama went on the record while he was campaigning, openly stating that marriage was a union between one man and one woman. Now, after a little more than 18 months in office he is showing his true colors. He now asserts in a Father’s Day Declaration that: “Nurturing families come in many forms, and children may be raised by a father and mother, a single father, two fathers, a step father, a grandfather, or caring guardian,” http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2010/jun/10062108.html

There you have it. The thing speaks for itself. This is a departure from what he stated when he was campaigning. This is duplicitous and it is deceptive in every way. When are we, as a nation, going to realize that these guys, and I will include Bush here too, will say anything to get elected. They will sell their own mothers if it will further their political ambitions. We have once again been duped and Obama is just another in a long line of duplicitous politicians.

When Obama stated his original support of traditional marriage he did it at Rick Warren’s mega-church. All the rank and file pew-sitters applauded and Obama appeared as a concerned, traditionalist wanting to protect the sanctity of marriage. Fast forward to Fathers Day 2010, and it’s a whole new ball game. Obama stated that two fathers, is just as valid as the traditional family unit. I am reminded of a saying from Isaiah: Woe to them that call evil good and good evil.

We have been once again duped. We have been lied to. We have been misled. We have been manipulated. I no longer believe anything the man says. He will say anything, do anything, or in short posture himself in whatever way he has too, to remain on top and to save his own face. In short, Obama is a man, that has no core values. No ethical mores that would anchor him. Like many in today’s world he is most likely a product of moral relativism and situational ethics. In this regard, he is a chameleon. He changes what he must to fit the mood of the nation.

We need to understand that what we believe as Christians is being attacked on all fronts. This is just the latest in a long line of those who hate, and I mean with great pathos, the God of the Bible, and His anointed one, Yashua. A few years back, the Malibu Vineyard church split apart and I received a “word” from the Lord. It was Ichabod, and it means, the glory has departed. The glory has departed from the Untied States, as we as a nation have had over 50 million abortions. We have stepped away from our support of Israel. We have pumped blatantly occult themes – think the latest BLOG I did on Lady Ga Ga – into our homes. It is time for those of us who know what we are dealing with, spiritual wickedness in high places, to get on our faces and repent. To cry out to the Most High God, and join together as a remaining remnant, that the nation in which we live has become abhorrent to us. I am a vexed man. I am tired of the duplicitous nature and godless men and woman who are leading this nation down a path of depredation and ruin.

1Jo 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is the way to find out if they have the Spirit of God: If a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ became a human being, that person has the Spirit of God. If a prophet does not acknowledge Jesus, that person is not from God. Such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist. You have heard that he is going to come into the world, and he is already here.

This passage is pregnant with meaning, here’s why! John is giving us a warning against those who claim to be speaking by the Spirit. Please consider that at the time of this writing, almost 2000 years ago, there were no formal churches, no Bible as we have it today, no priests or pulpits, popes or pews. Instead the initial group who had been present in the upper room some 5o days after the resurrection – Pentecost – had a life changing experience; they became born again, by the Spirit of the Living God.

This was a revolutionary event, as never in the history of the world had man’s spirit been infused with power from on high. This experience became known as being born again. We see Yashua/Jesus tell Nicodemus, that unless a man is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. Nicodemus, who is a leader of the Jews, doesn’t have a clue as to what Yashua/Jesus is talking about. In fact he asks him how a grown man can go back inside his mother’s womb! Of course Yashua is pointing to the time when the spirit of the living God will come into men and woman. Without being born again of the spirit, it’s all head knowledge. In other words I can read every book ever written on the Messiah, the church, and religion and I will never understand what is being referred to, because I am not born again. Here lies the great mystery and one that has unfortunately been replaced, in many quarters, with religion!

Being born again is not following a set of rules, or attending a church, or claiming that one is a Christian. Being born again is an ongoing, life changing experience where a person’s very spirit is connected to that of the God of the universe. For me one of the most amazing aspects of the whole experience is when He talks to me…. not in an audible voice, but when He gives me revelation, warning, insight, or sometimes what is called a word of knowledge.

When I was speaking in Nashville, I moved in this gift, that of a word of knowledge. Here’s what happened. A person requested a meeting with me. This person who had sought me out was clearly troubled. I listened and realized that I could sit for hours and not have a clue as to what this person needed. It was then that I asked, I need you to show me what this person needs. The Lord gave me a word, which I spoke over this man. When I did, he immediately started to cry. Pay dirt!

This is how the believer is supposed to move through the world. We are admonished to destroy the works of the Fallen One. We have been equipped by the spirit of the living God to go out into the world and make a difference. Sadly much of this has been shut down by so-called leaders in the church. Sitting in a pew on Sunday is a relatively new man-made invention. The early church met in a dynamic way as we are told in:

1 Corinthians 14: Well, my brothers and sisters, let’s summarize what I am saying. When you meet, one will sing, another will teach, another will tell some special revelation God has given, one will speak in an unknown language, while another will interpret what is said. But everything that is done must be useful to all and build them up in the Lord.

We see a huge difference here, as all are admonished to participate to build us up in the Lord, there are no grand Puba’s standing behind a pulpit! The early Christians moved in these gifts of the spirit. They were infused with the spirit of the living God. It was this experience that changed the ancient world. Oh, that we would come out of the religious system which has nothing to do with the power of the living God and become doers of the word and not only listeners.

In closing today’s Bun. Being born again does not make us perfect men and women. We are all under construction and will remain so until we are taken to be with Him. However, because we have the spirit of the living God in us we can speak by the spirit, move by the spirit, understand by the spirit, pray, heal and walk in the spirit and all because we are born again.

Before I launch into today’s post, I want to take a minute and tell you that my daughter was run off the road yesterday by a Mercedes that was two feet over the line, on a two lane highway. Her Explorer sport, rolled over one and a half times and landed wheels up in the air. Miraculously she crawled out of the driver side window that was broken and sustained minor injuries. We spent 5 hours in Hospital with her yesterday. If you saw the car you would wonder how anyone could survive… Her car is totaled and while she has liability insurance, the car was not covered as it is 11 years old. All this to say that the enemy comes to rob, kill and destroy. It was my first day home and I was looking forward to spending some down-time with my wifey. We were thankful that Sarah was not seriously injured, but we were exhausted by days end… The battle is real and the stakes are high.

Ritual Sex magic is coming right into our homes via the Internet and MTV. The latest in an unholy precession of pornographic priestesses is Lady Ga Ga. The media has elevated her to superstar status. However, there’s not much talent here. Certainly nothing musically that would cause critics to extol her. She has a mediocre voice and her songs are as forgetful as a Big Mac. What drives the success of Ga Ga and others of her ilk is that they are immersed in the occult world of Satanic, ritual sex magic.

I watched the video of Alejandro, while I was on the road. It was linked on the Spirit Daily Web site. I recoiled when I saw it and wondered how our culture could have slipped so far into the gutter. In one of the images Ga Ga is holding a pillow, with a crystal heart on it. The image brings to mind the Aztec human sacrifices that were made to their demon gods by the thousands. Is this a modern offering? The video is dark, and features jack-booted dancers that look as if it could have been made in Hitler’s Germany in the 1930’s. Ga Ga is a New World Order, temple, priestess and the masochistic, fornicating gyrations are so over the top, that I turned my eyes away. This is a far cry from watching Elvis the pelvis in the 1950’s, or the Beatles singing, I Want To Hold Your Hand….

Ga Ga is clothed in “catholic” images – she’s dressed as a nun with a red crusader cross on her habit – which hails directly from the Babylonian mystery schools. The man-made establishment of nuns and priests has nothing to do with anything that Yashua said, and you won’t find any of it in the Guide Book to the Supernatural, i.e. The Bible. Nevertheless Ga Ga uses these religious images in an overtly perverted sexual way.

I choose the picture above deliberately because this is the real Ga Ga without makeup and studio lights. Ga Ga’s real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. Look closely at her countenance, especially around the eyes, which we are told is the window to the soul. The woman looks broken and empty to me. She is a pawn in something much larger than herself that seeks to lead our children into the ominous world of the occult.

Ritual sex magic opens a person up to the demonic. I can’t say it any clearer. The images that are in this video are deliberately used to entice those who watch it into a relation with dark, satanic forces.

All of this to say that in my opinion, it is another “sign” that we are in the last days. I will not post a link to the video, you can find it on your own if you want too. On one hand, this kind of perverse slime needs to be called out for what it is. On the other, it soils the person who watches it. I am a vexed man. The culture that I find myself a part of, is not anything that I would embrace. As a nation, we are exporting ritual sex magic through the airwaves to all the countries of the world. Babylon is alive and well and her followers are many, as over 28 million people had viewed Ga Ga’s, Alejandro on YouTube.

We are living in the days of Noah, where we are told: The Lord saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.

Notice that there is no image here…. this is an interesting article about how a Moslem nation is obssessed with Porn, not unlike our so-called Christian nation. Ritual sex magic is everywhere. The enemy is the still the ruler of this world.

Thanks to all of you who covered me in prayer while I was on the road. I returned last night around 11 Pm in good-ol-Los Angeles. It was a typical, “June Gloom,” night, with a marine layer that cooled the temperatures to a 65. (It was in the 90’s in Philadelphia) My wife, who I hadn’t seen in 10 days greeted me, and as always it was great to return home. We hugged and kissed, and then made the hour drive home which put us in bed around midnight.

As I posted on Sunday, my parents are in the stone-age with zero Internet access. However, it was great to be with my Dad on his 90 birthday. He looks great and although he’s a little slower, he’s still mostly there. My brother and I bought him some golf stuff and we set up a little chipping range in his back yard – he has an acre of lawn – complete with a driving range matt, two targets, a stand to hold the club and a “shag” bag to pick up the balls so you don’t have to bend over when retrieving them. We both had lot’s of fun trading “chip” shots. It’s something he can do on a daily basis, weather permitting and I’m happy that it’s there for him.

OK. So much is going on that it’s hard to keep up with it. Here’s what I’m going to focus on today. While I was still in Denver I watched Joel Osteen and part of a Lady Gaga video. I’ll get to Gaga tomorrow, but I’ll foreshadow what I’m going to write about her with these words of warning, Luciferic, ritual, sex magic.

On one of the planes I was on in the last 10 days a gentleman sat next to me who was reading a Joel Osteen book. He should have had a copy of P.P.& S, and if I had one on me I would have given it to him! It is, with all due respect to the both of them that I write today’s BLOG. However, the picture on the left says it all. When I watched him on the tube it was standard Osteen fare. Take a look at the title of his book. With all that is going on in the world you would think that this guy would at least mention the times in which we are living in, give us a heads up. Nope! Instead he tells you, how to become a better you. Here’s what it’s like. Let’s say that you are on the Titanic and it sinking. Mr. Osteen offers you some great advice about how to become a better you. You listen and you know what, it sounds great. However, the Titanic is sinking…! Well, in my opinion – and I don’t want to bag on this guy because he’s a brother in the fight against the Fallen One – but in keeping with the Titanic analogy, Joel, the SHIP IS SINKING!!!!! It is folks. The signs are all around us and at least on this BLOG you will be kept abreast of developments pertaining to the end times.

When I was home, my parents asked me about 2012. I told them it’s a distraction to keep people away from what is really happening in the Middle East, in other words the fulfilment of Bible prophecy right in front of our eyes. When I was in Wellington, Colorado, I spoke for 7 hours on Saturday. I was on fire, passionately delivering the truth about where I believe we are, in regard to the time of Yashua’s return. It is important for us to realize that we are held accountable to KNOW the times in which we live. I usually start my conferences with a two-hour primer pointing to how Yashua held the nation of Israel accountable to know the time of his coming. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how I would have gathered you as hen gathers her chicks but you did not know the day of your visitation. They missed it and so will most of the people living on this planet in these last days.

We are living in the times of the greatest distraction and obfuscation from what is shaping up all around us. Time is short and yet, most people are clueless and in fact look to Nostradamus rather than what is written in the Guidebook to the supernatural!

In closing, Here’s another of Osteen’s books. He’s a millionaire and has one of the largest churches on the planet. However, the Titanic is has struck the iceberg and he’s not telling you what you need to hear in these turbulent times. Becoming a better me or having my best life now, appeals to my flesh, my ego, and me, me, me. BUT, It doesn’t in any way prepare me for the times in which we live or echo Yashua’s admonition of, when you see these things – Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, floods, volcanos, oil spills, famines and the distress of the nations, begin to happen, look up, because your redemption is coming!

Yesterday I spoke at the Wellington Filling Station for around 7 hours. We broke it up into three section with a potluck dinner and some great worship music led by Joshua and Jennifer Griffen. I met some wonderful folks here. Some I’ll never forget. Thanks to all who came and listened… I think that what we did made a difference…

On to the BUN!

We are told in the Guidebook to the Supernatural i.e the Bible, that there is salvation in no other name but in Jesus Christ or Yashua, The Anointed one. After 2000 years this simple truth has been so obfuscated by the very organization that seeks to promulgate it that it sometimes is impossible for a person to become “saved!” I exaggerate to make my point, but the trappings of stain glass windows, cathedrals, basilicas, priests, robes, monks with funny hair cuts, nuns, rosary beads, candles, dark confessionals, pulpits, lecterns, indulgences, tele-evangelists and a host of other MAN MADE traditions have absolutely nothing to do with what The Anointed One gave us…. period! What turned the ancient world upside down happened on what is known as the day of Pentecost. It was this day that the spirit of the living God came down on the men and women gathered in an upper room and filled them with the Holy Spirit. This is the experience of being born again. The Anointed One (Jesus) tells us, that unless a man or women is born again they cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. What is He talking about? He is pointing to the experience that has changed millions of lives through the centuries. Again, I’m NOT talking about religion here. It is an experience that happened to me almost 30 years ago and changed my life forever. It is ongoing and continues to this day.

There is a scripture that says, “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” I can attest that it is both fearful and wonderful as I continue to walk with the author and finisher of my salvation. In short, I was saved, by His unmerited favor. Everything was covered under the Blood of Jesus. His sacrifice on Calvary opened the doorway, the path, the way for my salvation. What was I saved from? An existence separated from the God of the Universe. Those who are not born again, think they know what I’m talking about. The problem is, as once again the guidebook points out, “the natural man – one who is not born again in spirit and in truth – cannot discern the things of the spirit.” Those who are walking on this planet and who are not born again, have no idea of what is happening in our world, as only those whose eyes have been opened can see. Think about this. Two weeks ago when Turkey looked toward Iran and began to cut its ties with Israel, those of us who know what the guidebook says about this, sat up and took notice. The prophecy of Ezekiel 38 states that Meshech, Tubal, and Togarmah, what is now modern-day Turkey, will form a confederacy with other nations – Russia and Iran – to go up against a land of un-walled villages, i.e. Israel. Unless a person knows what the guidebook says events like this will never figure into their world view. In other words they are clueless as to what is really going on. They may delude themselves by thinking that they know, but in reality they are far removed from the truth. They are blind.

Salvation and being born again is a free gift. We can’t earn it, buy it, or demand it, all we need to do is ask for it. When I asked, I was alone in my room. It was very private and I called out to Jesus, “I don’t know if you’re real, but if you are, come into my life and change it.” It was a simple, honest request and it was answered about a month later. My life has never been the same since.

In closing today’s Bun. I fly to Philadelphia to celebrate my Dad’s 90 birthday. They live in the stone age with a rotary phone and no Internet access, so it may be quiet here for a few days. I will try to get to a Kinko’s to BLOG. Blessings to all and thank you for your continual support and prayers of this ministry.

And to the Father’s out there may your Father’s Day be blessed. Let’s not forget our Heavenly Father too.

Special thanks again to everyone in Wellington Colorado who turned out for the conference!
