Abstract: A majority of people ignore the fundamental forces that can best ensure their survival, health and growth and above all, the associated behaviours that can maintain their wellness all throughout life. This is probably because very few educational, health or social programs are covering the topic and those programs which do so, are far from covering it thoroughly. The existing programs are rather specific Illness Prevention programs, not comprehensive Health and Wellness programs focussing on the real energetic fields and forces that we know do support life. Today's medical practices are still based on a passive approach: most practicing behave as if the patient was not alive, or if alive, not intelligent enough to understand the sources of his sufferings. So, the interventionists rarely take the time to explain to them what the source of their problems really are. Most doctors are paid to provide illness treatment (by the act), not for improving Healthiness and Well-being of patients. As a result, diseases continue to spread over among the population and the costs of Health Care keeps increasing at a rate never attained before. Moreover, new technology tools and more sophisticated medication which allow sick people to temper their sufferings and to live longer will also have the effect to significantly increase the rate of cost of Health Care in the future. In the mean time, there are no real indication of significant Health and Well-being improvement in most of the Western countries at the moment. And finally, there are few if any known comprehensive non-linear process that could be used as a base for the elaboration of successful Health and Wellness programs.    In Canada, the Health Care direct costs for 2002 are already in the excess of 100 Billion Can$. An American study done by Health and Wellness Solutions Inc. reports that Health Care did cost over 1,000 Billion US$ in United States during the year 2001, that most of that money was spent on treatment rather than prevention and that according to many health experts, 90% of these diseases could have been prevented because that's how many were stress related diseases, An increasing number of health experts recognize that "unresolved stress" has become a silent killer. According to the stated study, "unresolved stress" is the main cause of cardiovascular, neurological, digestive and psychological problems. And today's psychologists know very well the causes of "unresolved stress" and the different ways to resolve them: long term emotional problems that can be resolved through behavioural changes. As we know, the emotions act as triggers (through the psychosomatic network) in the development of peptide molecules and hormones that ensure health and well-being or to the contrary, disorderly favour the development of illnesses and ultimately conduce to death.    The "Passport To Wellness" PTW non-linear process is one that is based on the natural but invisible forces - information, perception, meaning, expectation, participation, behaviour coordination, adaptation and feedback - that sustain life and act directly on the individuals' emotions and associated behaviours.   Figure No.3 shows the duality of these invisible forces.     The "Passport To Wellness" PTW non-linear process is one of the main chapter of a new unpublished book entitled 'The Spiral of Life' which attempts to highlight the possible impacts of the most recent discoveries from Quantum physics, Chaos theory and Self organizing systems and bring a new vision of complex living systems' behaviours such as those of humans and human organizations. Other related chapters like Complex systems imprints, Mind process network, Comprehensive thinking and Creative imagination from which the "Passport To Wellness" process has been deduced from, are also available upon request.     Please note that the expressions 'Mind process network', 'Comprehensive thinking' and 'Creative imagination' abundantly stated all throughout the text, should however, be considered as non-patent citations.
