I am reading Richard Dawkins’ The Selfish Gene. The genes that use humans as vehicles, and are only interested in procreation, and not in the life experience of the vehicle.
But, as I have said before, there are 160 intangible capacities, mostly dormant, in the human DNA. The ones that we are going to look at in this article are the capacities (genes) of generosity (altruism) and trust.
Trust and generosity seem to be at odds with the selfishness of the genes… but they don’t have to be.
The most popular image I have on Instagram says: Arrogance is weakness disguised as strength.
Now, why this is worth writing about?
Because it is the tip of the iceberg of something really important.
We have spoken about the selfish gene. For the gene you are a survival vehicle only. And a person, who is not related to you, is competition, rival… and in your gene’s way to make more copies of itself.
I know this is unfamiliar territory, but please bear with me, because where it is taking us is worth going to… so patience… you don
Personal note: I have been in this transformation game for 31 year now. I never understood why “the human condition” was the way it was, why it was “hopeless”. I didn’t know about the selfish gene… I was completely ignorant, like most transformational teachers. Ignorant.
A little knowledge is dangerous in the hand of someone who only missed that little knowledge… me. I am now confident that with this new knowledge I can guide you to winning in life.
If you are here, then I guess everything is n
The title could be said differently as well: You are a survival machine. You are put together for the survival of your genes. (Richard Dawkins: the selfish gene theory). You have hundreds, maybe thousands of genes. Each gene is a code, and the genes are strung together on your DNA. Some genes are recessive, or dormant, but can be turned on by your behavior, by your thinking, or by an energy person, like me. ((The model of inner/outer dynamics I set up in this article i
I had an insight this morning. This article may be the most important article I have ever written. And 99.99% % of you will ignore it… even if you read it three times. And I bet, you won’t even bother to read the footnotes… Must be not important you say, and you are right… about everything.
The world belongs to the changeable. The flexible. The one that can adjust, and go with the punches. This is what’s been missing… or at the minimum, without this you can’t
If you are trying, you read, you watch videos, and nothing seems to stick, nothing seems to become useful knowledge, listen up.
This is an interaction from yesterday, with a student of mine who has this same problem.
He says: I can’t even explain how I need and want to allow more knowledge in and execute it in my life. You are right my lack of humility is preventing me from doing anything new. It is so tough when I want to learn more but I can’t get it to stick.
Upsetting the apple cart… the standing order of things. In your case: what you can and can’t do, have and feel. The misery, the pretense, the must, and the ought to… This is what today’s article is about.
Can you feel the ego squirming? Good… keep one eye on the ego… Please.
I have just started to read the first book Tai Lopez has on his 100 book recommended list.
This one is right up my alley, because it is about the genes and their role in the evol
I am not fond of campaigners. I am not fond of activists.
A few months ago I was lead to Robert Ingersoll, and I read his many books… I was interested, because I never thought, never learned, never experienced religion, especially not Christianity and its many sects.
I thought the idea of religion very outdated.
Then today I looked up Richard Dawkins, because I heard about him from Tai Lopez, and heard that 40% of the people surveyed in the US believe that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old.
I got sick to my
If your life feels empty in spite of all what’s in it, then you need to look at it and examine it. There is something, a piece of knowledge, is missing… and you are paying the price.
Another saying that really talks to me: the size of your life can be measured with the size of your projects.
But the most important thing is this: you can be doing things, 24/7, but unless what you are doing is hard, challenging, needing you to apply yo
The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer… but how? but why?
This is true in every area of life, not just money, not just love. This sentence, from the New Testament, is true…
“I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”
As I am doing my work to take a group of people to become human beings… I see it clearly.
The Gate of Heaven is when you can get outsi
