Something or someone always tries to kill you, kill your confidence, kill your success.

It is not wrong. It is the nature of reality.

And unless you learned this really early on, you are both ineffective at life, and always pissed. Pissed, as in frustrated, angry, upset, because the way the world is doesn’t match your expectations, your picture of what is fair.

One would think I had already known this… and maybe to a certain degree I have.

But not fully. Continue reading →

Most people, even some sayings suggest that dying trying is a good thing. But that supports most people who stop at tying and never get to doing. They have the sizzle of the steak, but never deliver the steak itself.

This is the continuation of yesterday’s article.

‘Not real, not real.‘ What happens when you can say that?

I may not live much longer, but while I am alive, I’ll do the work necessary.

I slept a total of two hours last night. Then I woke up with a start… could not go back to sleep… And the experience of I am suffocating every time I put my head down is not ever going to allow me to sleep again.

So I got up, and researched chronic pulmonary obstruction disease… My symptoms are most similar to that…

Then I went back to bed and practiced for an hour to say: ‘not real, not real‘ every time the panic came up. The not real tells me relax the muscles that block the air flow. I did that 80 times in that hour.

This is not dissimilar to the Amish Horse Training Method, where what needs to be let go of is a thought, but it isn’t the thought that keeps you miserable, it’s the meaning.

So the meaning is what is not real.

‘I am suffocating‘… is not real. I noticed that there was, each time, an image or a mini-movie that triggered it. It was easier to see because I had my eyes closed……

Eighty repetitions got me to being consciously incompetent. The goal is to get myself to unconscious competence. Muscletest says another 300 successful repetitions can take me there. In the meantime my vibration has dropped, my IQ has dropped, and there is no guarantee that I’ll be able to sleep through the night even after I get competent.

But without integrity nothing works, not you, not your life. And worse than that: you can’t love yourself. And without integrity your word has no power.

When you say: ‘not real‘, you are creating with your word… and if your word has no power, then you won’t obey it. In my case, in suffocating: if I didn’t HONOR my word, I would jump up and try to stay alive… Instead, when I say not real, not real… I already relax the muscles that obstruct my airways. And when I really-really didn’t react, my eyes even stayed closed… About half of the 80 instances.

Why is this called The Amish Horse Training Method?

The Amish ties the young horse to a fence post on the side of the highway for days, about 7 days. Every vehicle passing triggers the horse until it gets it, if it gets it, that all that noise is not personal, and that he, the horse, can let go of reacting to every noise.

Only humans are so arrogant to believe that just knowing what there is to do is enough…

So I have had not one student who has achieved mastery at the Amish Horse Training Method, even though I have no students who wouldn’t need it. Because just like an untrained horse reacts to everything, you do too… And it is as dangerous as in the case of the horse: you pull your whole life in the way of the eighteen wheeler when you react.

Life well lived is a series of reps and sets… like body building.

If you don’t do them, you won’t have the body, the life that you hoped to get.

I feel faint now, so I am going to have another few sets and reps…

OK, I just added another hour. This time there were only 30 instances of me being triggered. The triggers were all pictures, but they were so fast I couldn’t catch it. The same way the spliced in triggers work in a movie: you don’t know why suddenly you want to have a Coke… I am referring to an old Colombo episode.

What I think happens that you want something… Me, I just want to lie there, no struggle… Not even knowing that I am breathing. And then the trigger creates fear, anxiety, and the body reacts with whatever the body does, and that is what needs to be released. The reaction.

You have no control over the trigger, just like the Amish horse has no power over the noise… But it can learn to control its reaction.

Most people avoid doing activities that trigger fear or anxiety.

Even though those are the perfect opportunities to become a person who is in power.

The content of the fear, the content of the anxiety doesn’t matter much. It is the meaning. The words. Not real.

There are two ways to live in the world.

One is how the eight billion lives. They are an object in a world of objects. They look at what they see as the world, and try to adjust their words to represent it. Clumsily, I might say. Resulting in eight billion people for whom everything is the same as everything else, except that not always.

In this object-world word is cheap.

A statement has a ‘word-to-world’ fit because it constitutes an attempt by the speaker to make his words ‘match’ the world in a certain sense. In contrast, a promise (or declaration) has a world-to-word fit because it constitutes an undertaking on the part of the speaker to make the world match his words. ~ from Wikipedia

The other way to live is lo live in the dominion of human being: a person living in a world of persons. In that world the word has the power. There the word creates. Not the kind of creation New Age gurus say: ‘you create your own reality’. Instead  you speak and deliver what you said.

So when I say ‘not real‘, I am not trying to change my own reality where physics don’t work. I am declaring, instructing, and delivering… I release the tension, release the anxiety, and the result is breathing that is effortless… Again and again and again, until something starts really obeying my will, and lets me be the master of my world, the captain of my ship.

Attached to the Detach Live workshop

I am going to teach speaking that way. If you haven’t made any consistent effort to actually do any of the work I teach, you are not going to be in the live session… but you are welcome to get the recording. For now it’s the same price.

Another free workshop I am planning to give, if my energy level agrees, is the complaint to purpose workshop.

So far students are coming up with inauthentic complaints, except one student. For example this complaint: My biggest complaint about my life is that I haven’t come anywhere close to discovering what my special gift is to contribute.

The real complaint is underneath it. Your real complaint is about as old as YOU are. My complaint was that I can’t get comfortable, because I am always on the edge… And that was true already when I was born… Never a smooth moment, never a moment of rest.

A complaint that you could just start eliminating is not a complaint we can work with. You need to feel entirely powerless about this complaint or it will be just more idle complaining. Ugh.

A complaint I can work with is like this: I am always left out. What others seem to be able to do I can’t.

Most people’s main complaint is around how they are and how what they produce is seen by others…

Examples: What I do is never enough. People want more than I can give. No matter what I do I don’t belong.

One of my possible complaint could have been: nobody loves me. It is not the truth. I can’t fix it, mainly because it is not true. Secondarily because you can’t make anyone love you.

In the purpose process we turn the complaint upside down…

the purpose would become: The only love you can feel is the love you give. So the more I love the more love I feel.

In one of the 67 steps the advice is: make your mess your message. So to the woman who complains that she hasn’t discovered her special gift… her special gift is that she hasn’t found it and therefore she is a beach ball on open sea all about herself. And she can teach how miserable that is. And also what has been turning it around, gently.

She could ADMIT that her real complaint is that people don’t recognize her ‘genius’… and THAT can be stood on its head, and shaped into a purpose: her purpose is to allow and make people shine. She may not like it, but I do. Really like it.

I had a rough night. I could barely breath, especially when I lied down. So I didn’t…

It’s been coming for about three weeks, and it didn’t respond to healing.

It felt likely that it was my last night on earth.

And I had no idea what was causing it. I sat on the edge of the bed. I sat on the chair by my computer. taking even just five steps felt like the end of me. Continue reading →

I had a flash of insight today.

I have been looking at books, movies, TV-shows and see what attracted me, and when I was not attracted, what turned me off.

I saw that I would stop reading or stop watching in the middle, if the main character isn’t made Continue reading →

Warning:

This article has the power to create a turning point for you. It probably won’t… but it is not the article’s fault. If you think you already know, if you think you are already smart… it won’t do a thing for you. So better you just leave now…

I just worked on extracting the relevant part from Sunday’s Muscletesting course recording…

The part where I am talking about the nature of the universe… I ta about the wave nature of the Universe.

What is wave nature? Continue reading →

Yesterday’s article fell flat on its face… as it was predictable in view of my almost 40 year experience.

If I started again from where YOU are, no distinctions, I would print out the ‘koan’ I heard many times from Forum Leaders:

For you everything is the same as everything else… except that not always.

1) What was your primary reason for asking for your health measurement?

I had been feeling stiffness and pain in my back for over a year and finally decided to order a health measurement from Sophie to find out what was causing it. I suspected that it was a health-related issue and that there was something out there that could help me get back to feeling normal again. I had a feeling that it was really time to seek help and that I shouldn’t wait much longer.

2) Describe what your understanding was regarding what you found out

My understanding was that I had an issue with my small and large intestines and that receiving healing from Sophie was the fastest way to start resolving the illness. If I had not chosen to receive the healing as quickly as I did, I could have gotten myself into an expensive and/or potentially dangerous situation that would require medical treatment.

3) Describe how things changed in your thinking now that you knew what was maybe off with your health?

Previously I thought that things happened to me, that I wasn’t responsible or aware of how my actions affected my life including my health. I had a suspicion that something I was doing wasn’t working well, but I probably wanted to be right about things instead of finding out what I could do differently. Now I see that I don’t need to “be right” or make myself “wrong”, I can choose to take guidance from others who may be in a better position to know what is good for me or what I would be better off not doing.

4) If you took healing: Describe how you feel now, after the completed healing?

At first, I did not feel much different after receiving the healing, but I did feel a little lighter. It took a few months for the back pain to reduce in intensity; over time I gradually started to feel better and noticed that I had more energy. I suspect some of the lifestyle changes that I made (based on Sophie’s guidance and feedback) also helped with my overall health scores and reduction in pain.

5) Can you describe to a newcomer how this remote healing thing is done? From your vantage point.

After sending a photo of yourself to Sophie, she can connect to you and determine if you have any illnesses and if they can be healed. These illnesses usually involve a blockage of energy. If I understand correctly, to heal an illness, Sophie utilizes special energies that work with the client’s consciousness, and the consciousness works with the body to restore the affected part(s) of the body to their original design (to the degree that it can be done). The healing is not necessarily permanent as the illness can come back if the root cause was not addressed.

6) Describe Sophie as a teacher and healer.

Sophie has a great deal of experience with life and what she calls “the invisible”, meaning deeper layers and dynamics of how things work that other people either have not figured out yet or don’t understand well. She uses her skills and abilities to help her clients with getting to where they want to get to, and guiding them, including showing them things they might not have realized, or providing suggestions on alternate strategies to overcome blocks they may tend to struggle with. As a healer, Sophie can work with energies to heal certain critical or potentially life-threatening issues quite quickly and virtually painlessly with little or no side effects.

7) What was your toughest moment? How did you overcome it?

One of my toughest moments was finding out that I had caused the illness, it wasn’t something just happening to me. It was difficult for me to come to terms with this, as I didn’t know I was capable of harming myself in such a way. Additionally, I thought I knew some of the basic things that a person can do to be healthy, but it seems that there were some important things that I really did not know.

8) Did you have any personal experience (e.g. The moment I understood the one-word, the moment I realized what I had misunderstood, what I did, etc…).

An “aha” moment for me was finally getting that attitudes are so important. I hadn’t realized that bringing certain attitudes can be very destructive and harmful to a person. Once I got this, I started to pay more attention to the attitudes that I was having, and was more conscious about bringing the attitudes that lead to feeling better and having more joy, grace, and ease. Instead of feeling like I had no choice in the matter, I got that I could choose how I was being, practically whenever I had sufficient awareness of what attitude I was having.

9) What would you say are the big benefits of distant healing with energies?

The biggest benefits are that the healing is fast, very effective, painless, and the client does not have to travel to any physical location, which is very convenient.

10) Why would you recommend it?

I recommend the healing because I trust that Sophie can accurately determine if a person has a life-threatening issue that can be healed. With the energies, she is able to provide healing for what is most critical first. You don’t have to know anything or do anything in particular. Once you decide you would like to receive the healing, Sophie will get started on it right away (no waiting in an office)!

11) Getting well, changing mindset is the toughest thing in the world. Can you describe how tough it was, and what sacrifices you had to make to keep going?

I found it difficult to receive feedback that didn’t match what I expected, and to not take it personally. Over time, I started to see that she was on my side, and was providing tips to help me move in a beneficial direction. It wasn’t wrong if my health score went down, and the feedback was valuable. With the feedback, I knew what I could do to get back on track. This is still a work in progress for me.

12) What was your toughest moment? How did you overcome it?

(See answer to #7)

13) Have you done other things with Sophie? Courses, workshops, challenges? Why?

Yes, I have done courses and challenges with Sophie because I suspect that there are things I don’t know, that I could find out or learn about. These things could improve the quality of my life, health, and/or future. Oftentimes the guidance/ feedback is very valuable. In group calls or on forums I often learn from the interaction between Sophie and the other participant and find that other people have some of the same problems and similar patterns that I do. In this way we can learn from each other and find strategies to manage these things that come up.

14) What advice would you give to future clients and participants?

My advice is to be open-minded and as much as possible, don’t have a lot of expectations. Sometimes it can be difficult. You might find yourself challenging your own beliefs. What you get out of the work is directly proportional to what you put into it. If you want your life to remain the same, I would recommend that you find a different teacher to work with.

15) How did participating with Sophie personally help you?

My health has improved and I have started to make some improvements in the attitudes that I bring. I have a better sense of what things that I used to do were harmful, such as rushing, thinking that I know (when I don’t), wanting to be right, and judging others. When I can manage these, then I feel more at peace.

16) Anything else you’d like to add?

Sophie does a lot for her students, and always has their best interests in mind. She does things from the perspective of doing whatever she can to help them succeed. For example, she went very in depth when explaining how to activate the sight capacity, and astutely described the subtleties of the process that she uses. She is a skilled writer and a very capable person who has achieved some level of self-mastery, and generously shares many of her experiences and life lessons.

Read the original article: Another success story of remote healing

Most people stop and are satisfied with the idea of a thing they want. They never do more, and they are surprised that life doesn’t work.

In this article I won’t talk about the fact that people are not willing to actually do anything much for what they want… it is widely known… so I’ll just assume that you know that, but that is not the only thing that’s missing.

I know it is not nice to be critical of one’s alma mater, but even Landmark Education (where I learned most of what I know) never went beyond that. Continue reading →
