Before I get into the meat of the article, I’d like to share what happened in Israel during and after the War of Independence (1948-), lasting about 20-25 years.

Most new immigrants lived in kibbutzim, and in kibbutzim, a kind of ‘collective’, the children spent most of their times in children’s houses. They slept there too. Once a week they spent some time with their parents ( every kibbutz had their own schedule)

99% of the children who grew up in the kibbutzim became emotionally healthy, powerful youth and adults. Even the ‘runts’ were happier, healthier, stronger, than today’s people in Israel.

They won wars, and the country was a happy place.

Then when the danger on the country lessened, parents

I republished an article, that is as important as anything you’ll ever learn, if you wanted to live a life of an expanding human being…

Response when I first published it: no echo. Response this time: no echo. Nobody heard it. Nobody saw it. Nobody was interested.

The article is pinpointing the reason why you have what you have, and not what you want to have.

Read the original article: Are you willing to become a prosperous “neighborhood”?

One of my students wrote: ‘I don’t know yet why I run from it, why is it uncomfortable for me to take responsibility’

This is an excellent question.

Why? Because every person that has ever been confronted, yes, confronted with the possibility to having their responsibility gene activated, has, so far, chosen not to use it, not to benefit from it.

What is responsibility in terms of the world? Blame. Duty. No fun.

What do I know about eliminating pests?

A few years ago, all of a sudden, there were tons of flies in my house. I am not sure how it happened, but it was a real pain.

Picking them off with a fly swatter, one by one, was “good fun” but not very effective.

I did a lot of reading, and found that

1. you can’t eliminate flies
2. you can manage flies

Flies, just like other pests, seem to live for one purpose: to reproduce. They eat to reproduce, they are lead by every fiber of their being to reproduce.

So, if you can find out what attracts them to where the other sex is, and you can trap them there, then you can manage their population.

Flies can be attracted by pheromone

I don’t believe in miracles. I don’t believe in spirits, angels, gods, dead people talking, walking, I don’t even believe in soul surviving your death. But I like magicians and magic tricks.

When you watch magic, it seems easy. It seems fast. I seems magical… doesn’t it?

Real magic takes hours, weeks, months worth of preparation, manufacturing of special equipment, without those most magic tricks will never happen.

I won’t mention the lots of practice here, because it doesn’t fit my agenda… lol.

I only rarely talk to other “spiritual teachers” or “energy practitioners”, because I am not attracted to them, we don’t seem to have anything in common.

But occasionally life throws one my way, and I have to talk to them.

This happened this past week, and it just hit me that I learned something important: they are magicians.

If you want to achieve something bigger in your life, I think you’ll find this tool both helpful and interesting…

…especially if you’re not quite sure exactly what to do to make your success happen.

When I first had the urge to ‘be a success’ (I was in my late 30’s) I had NO IDEA what to do or how to start. I just quit architecture, and I didn’t know what to do next.

So, I read lots of books about success, getting conflicting advice, getting advice that wasn’t applicable in my situation, had a lot of false starts, and I remained confused about what to do. [note]Then I read the book ‘What color is your parachute

Do you remember the pie chart of all knowledge? The circle, the pie, represents all facts in the universe?

A tiny slice you know and you know that you know it. It is your address, it is your name, it is facts that you can prove.
Another tiny slice is all the things you know that you don’t know. For example you know that you don’t speak Japanese, unless, of course, you do.
The rest of the pie is the things that you don’t know that you don’t know. Some of it you think you know, but what you think is just isn’t so.

I love books that start slow, that allow me to be in the midst of things, give me insight into the character, the past of the character… simply said: that gives me a rounded picture without actually reducing the observations to assessment. The book allows me to make my own judgments, so it’s active reading: the story is co-created between the author and myself.

I even watch television that way… Netflix television, where I can stop the screen and reflect, sometimes for 10-15 minutes before I turn the movie or episode back on.

Now, contrast that with how you read.

Is Christie Marie Sheldon A Fraud? This question keeps repeating in the searches on my site. The simple answer: I don’t know.

Hey, what is a fraud? Who is a fraud? If you promise something and you don’t keep your promise, that’s fraud. If you get in someone with false promises… that’s fraud.

If she says she is god, then she is a fraud. She is not god. Does she say that? I don’t think so.

If she says she can raise your vibration, then she is a fraud. In that regard.

She and her programs won’t raise your vibration permanently. But you will feel better while you listen to her… I probably would too… What else is she promising?
