The symbol of the ego is a triangle sitting on its side. It takes tremendous force to flip it over, or to make it move.
The ego’s job is to make you safe by making you do the same things you have done, that obviously didn’t kill you.
The Ego has a lot of energy, and the art is to convince the ego to use the energy to move you forward instead of holding you back.

There is no secret, no secret ingredient to raising your vibration, to become an expanding human being.
For those of you who have been making ever tightening circles around the secret, you may call it the Truth, this article will be first a big let-down. A disappointment.
But when you look again, it gives you your life back, puts your ship under your command…
…you can become a finder instead of a seeker of the secret.
Rewarding means that you can see the fruits of your labor, and they a
Poetry, poetic, poetic mind… not part of the fabric of culture in our times.
JFK was inspiring, Trump, Biden? coarse or boring.
At the same time there is a quirk to human nature: A result that is not poetic, a result that is not uplifting, a result that is not inspiring doesn’t register as a result. So people are left with a sense of nothing important got done. No happiness, no fulfillment. Nothing to be proud of, nothing to be inspired by.
And then the second quirk: that the skill people have for poetic language is completely undeveloped.

Did you know that every revolution has been, historically, just a re-shuffling of who is going to have power over who?
When I first read Osho’s book, Rebellion, Revolution and Religiousness, I actively worked on understanding.
In Hungary we learned a lot more history than American students do, and I personally have seen revolution, and reform and all that never changed anything on the long run.
It’s like making a dish, turning it on a plate… and thinking that now it’s different. No. it is the same dish… just what was on the bottom is now on the top.

Choosing
Choice is: selecting freely, AFTER consideration.
Matsa asks: hmm, it’s puzzling – if you never choose X, didn’t you, in fact, chose Y?
My answer: are you referring to choosing sexual preference? Most people have the choice made for them, societally and biologically…
99.99% of people never actually choose consciously, instead allow something else to choose for them: how they feel, their urges, society, the other, etc.
The best example for choiceless choice is: choosing your mother… choosing your life to be the way your life is. It is weird for people. They resist how it is… but there is no other choice.

I was interviewed by my friend Laser show artist and entrepreneur Tim Bennett of Argon Management last week. I just listened to the interview and I think it’s good, he puts me on the spot a few times and makes me talk about things I didn’t think of talking about… it is definitely worth a listen.
Go to Tim’s site to listen
Tim lives in Manila, in the Philippines. In addition to doing laser shows, he has an animation company, and a training company for aspiring entrepreneurs in the Philippines.
He is one of the most likable people I know… you’ll love him, and hopefully you’ll love me.

os·cil·la·tion
noun: oscillation; plural noun: oscillations Meaning: movement back and forth at a regular speed.
“the natural oscillation of a spring”
synonyms: swinging, swing, swaying, swinging from side to side, swinging backwards and forwards, swinging back and forth, swinging to and fro
In the human condition we oscillate between two binary states, two binary opinions, two binary forces that have an “or” between the words… smart/stupid, cowardly/brave, valuable/worthless, taker/giver, etc.
We are afraid of life out of control, of sh-i-t hitting the fan, of what we will do when that happens. So we keep on controlling, suppressing, resisting, and living a shadow existence.
Whether you believe this or not will make a huge difference for you. At the bottom, at the root of this miserable life is a word, a statement, about you, that you are using your life to alternately prove and disprove. A word that sounds like a fact but it isn’t… it is an opinion, not a fact.

You don’t know who you are. You lie about it, you make up s-h-i-t, but there is not a you that you consistently are.
Landmark Education (and I think other coaches and companies as well) decided that who you are needs to be invented.
But all this invention, all this creation is on the top of an undifferentiated mess of stuff you don’t want to look at. So, whatever people in Landmark invent as themselves doesn’t last long, and has to be repeated, ad nauseum. People need to remind themselves… but that is obvious:
If you know who you are, you don’t need to be reminded of it.

Hi Sofie,
I was not able to make it to the Saturday evening Connect To Source webinar at 6:00pm last week either. I will get up early on this Saturday to be in on the 6:00am webinar on 12/17/11. I feel I really need some direction and I do understand it is part of the program. I have been reading the books, reports, and articles on your website, They are very enlightening.
I have been listening to the Unconditional Love Activator tape. Today is my 4th day and I usually listen at least 2 times a day. Today, I am so depressed and have been crying all day at everything. I do not understand. Is this depressions and crying related to your recording? I am not normally this deeply depressed about anything. Most of the depressions does seem to revolve around a problem or issue I personally have. That is why I thought they might be related.

This is a long article, and a work in progress… I am still working out this whole issue: I guess it is my life’s work. So if occasionally I don’t make sense, cut me some slack, will you? If I jump around… please just know that eventually I’ll say what I need to say, and I’ll make sense.
The reason humanity (and your life) looks the way it looks is because you are a coward.
What do I mean by that? Some people know that they are cowards, some people suspect that they may be cowards, but most people don’t know and don’t give a rat’s ass if they are cowards or not.
What am I talking about?
I am talking about humans’ delusional nature.
It takes courage to have a world view where you are responsible fo
