What you don’t know that you don’t know is making you fail

I used to lead introductions to the Landmark Forum.

There is a part in the introduction where you attempt to distinguish for people that most of what’s knowable for a human: you don’t know. Moreover: you don’t know what you don’t know.

Then you ask a simple question: Can you give me an example of what you don’t know that you don’t know?

In most groups there is at least one person who tries… Everybody laughs… because the answer to that question can only be: I don’t have an example… You can give an example of what you used to not know but now know… but that is an answer to a different question.

Now, one of the beauties of reading is finding stuff that you didn’t know that you didn’t kn

Delusions, Lies, Pretenses, Obesity — what is the common chemical cause?

Most people think that they are honest people. Some others know that they lie about this and that.

What they don’t know is that they live on the top of a huge iceberg of lies, delusions, pretenses, but they can only see the tip of the iceberg… unless.

This week was a line of demarcation for me, in more ways than one.

As I wrote in my last blog post, I got suckered into making some stupid self-serving changes on my site. I was lucky, I caught it before it went totally dead.
Finally, after 65 years, I learned why I don’t feel well, why certain foods effect me the way they do.I already had Posted on August 15, 2016 by University in Raise Your Vibration | Tagged addicted, adhd, anxiety, article, bacteria, bad bacteria, bathroom, behavior, being, believe, birth, body, book, Bread, breakfast, carbs, cause, changes, children, clarity, clients, common, day, delusions, depression, diet, disorder, drugs, Dyslexia, eating, effect, effects, enlightened, extreme anxiety, fact, family, fears, finally, fixed, food, form, friday, fruits, gaps diet, good life, gut, Guts, healing, healing blog, health, healthy, human, human being, hunger, ice cream, iceberg, individual, influence, instructions, it, lady, lie, lies, life, line, Line Of Demarcation, lol, long way, lucky, making, mood, muscle, muscle testing, natural, nerves, night, nightmares, nutrients, obesity, old, original, original article, package, past, people, perception, poison, post, pretenses, process, Protein, Raise Your Vibration, reading, reality, response, results, running, sake, schizophrenia, self, sensitive, should, side effects, site, sleep, solution, stomach, struggle, stupid, symptoms, test, the self, therefore, Tip Of The Iceberg, toxic, toxins, unless, video, virtual, what to eat, Worse | Leave a comment

It’s hard to be silently brilliant. Lots of thoughts occur when you open your mouth.

Some days I have nothing to say. It doesn’t feel like there is anything to say that needs to be said.

Some people never have anything to say and they talk all the time. Others think that they have to first formulate it in their heads to say it, and it never comes together.

Professional thinkers, writers know that “it is hard to be silently brilliant. Lots of thoughts occur wen you open your mouth.”

Thinking is a lot like digging for gold. Someone or something has to hold the dirt, or you can’t get beneath it.

Thought experiments: the wise’s way to learn, the wise’s way to win in life

The stupid makes the same mistake, over and over, expecting different results.
The normal person eventually learns from his mistakes, but he first has to make them, a few times…
The wise person learns from other people’s mistakes.

Did you notice that we are not talking here about IQ? About ability?

No, the behavior ascribed to the stupid and the behavior of the wise can and often come from the same IQ.

The ability to do things differently can’t be accessed without a modicum of humility. Modicum means: a little bit.

Humility is a capacity, an attitu

ADD, ADHD. Are the parents guilty? What the French can teach us about that…

Is ADD and ADHD a nature or nurture phenomenon? There is a surprising answer: we compare American and French children with regards to ADD…

Based on an article by Marilyn Wedge, Ph.D. “Why French Kids Don’t Have ADHD? French children don’t need medications to control their behavior.”
First off: what is ADD and ADHD?
Attention deficit disorder is a symptom. According to Dr. Daniel Amen, when an ADD/ADHD person wants to concentrate, at a certain point their prefrontal cortex shuts down… much like your computer crashes when you overload it.

Who Were My Teachers in Transformation and Mindset… ?

Well, this could be a real long article, even a book. I won’t go there… writing a book is way too long for my ADHD personality. But there is one teacher, who I admire, Colin Wilson (of “Outsider” and “ The Mind Parasites ” fame, who wrote a book, “
