In the how you do anything is how you do everything article, I tell you that the how changes only if the who changes first.
But the who’s change is very gradual. Slow, subtle, and takes a lot of gentle work.
In today’s day and age everyone has a good idea how to do things, and those ideas are 99.99% of the times wrong.
I just found this brilliant story on Quora, thank you, that illustrate the methodology that works. Continue reading
How, in 20 minutes, I altered my future, and how you can do it (easy) yourself. Oh, and I also raised my vibration, noticeably.
There is a Landmark [note]Landmark Education Corporation[/note] distinction called “Your probable, almost certain future.”
They teach it in the Advanced Course, because beginners are almost certainly not willing to look at where their lives are heading in such a certain fashion. Even advanced students lie, pretend, avoid, so they also avoid having a breakthrough.
Imagine your life being a train on laid down tracks. It’s heading towards its designated future at 100 miles an hour. You can look out the windows, you can pull down the shades, you can read, watch TV… whatever.
None of these activities will matter, you life will end up where it’s heading… unless.

I just had an interesting interaction with my buddy, Source.
I have been under the weather, my heart is ailing, and I have been giving a lot of thought to dying… and the things a responsible person does to make their dying easier on the people they leave behind.
I am doing what Source suggested I do to get well, and it is not happening fast enough… lol.
So this morning, in fact a few minutes ago I asked Source if I should do something differently. And the answer was a firm yes.
And when I get a yes… of course, comes the hard part… finding what the heck is that I should do.
Talking to Source is like the game intelligent people like to play, where they ask question to find out what/who the other person is thinking of… and all the questions are to get a yes or a no answer. Not a stupid person’s game…
And yet… all of life is a game like that: you ask good questions, you ask enough questions, you’ll go far in life. Most don’t. Most keep guessing… inside the narrow cone of vision they live with. Continue reading
I love to read. My newest favorite writer is Blake Banner, a mystery writer. His books are perfect for one day reading… around 150 pages each.
What I like most about these books, apart from their language which is often delightful, is that the author pits against each other two kinds of detectives, the one who looks at the evidence, and immediately weaves a likely story and then defends it with all their might. And the other who doesn’t make a decision but researches more until he can actually prove it… which is often a lot later.
We see the two archetypes everywhere in the non-detective world: the jumping jack… instant meaning, instant conclusion, instant anger, instant like or dislike… 99% of all humans.
Result: arguments, devastation, wars, divorce, ineffectiveness…
The other has something, that has nothing to do with innate intelligence, or smarts: both detectives are equally smart. Continue reading
The smarter you fancy yourself, the stupider your behavior. The big picture of your life…This article is slightly philosophical, I cycle through many ideas to get to a conclusion that makes a difference. You can jump to the end, to the conclusion, and we’ll know what you are… This article is about you.
Life’s way is to handle one thing at a time… make it work and keep it working. Then, when it’s working reliably, Life will start on the next thing.
Most of Life is continuing… not starting. Or modifying and continuing. Or adding and removing. But continuing… Getting better and better. Growing. Continue reading
Here are a few unexpected ways you keep yourself trapped in your misery:
How it should be, how it should go, what is right and what is wrong behavior, looks, everything.
You apply these standards to measure everything and everyone… and, of course, everything and everyone falls short… including yourself.
Standards are something that you invented, or alternatively bought into. You relate to them as if they were universal and mandatory for everyone…
It is all made up. There are no standards that survive reality: these are all made up reality, not binding to everyone, maybe not even to anyone. Continue reading
MY Precious “I” doesn’t like it… I am sure yours doesn’t either…
I remember when I considered being a Generator a slight. Like someone didn’t recognize my creativity, declared me a working bee… I hated it. But…
Years earlier I had the same reaction to finding out that I was a finisher… in the “system” starters vs. finishers, I learned from Alex Mandossian, who was my mentor for a little while… I healed him and he mentored me… Here is a link to an interview that explains https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc_87BcOChU
But…
“Don’t wish it were easier: wish you were better. Don’t wish for less problems wish for more skills. Don’t wish for less challenge wish for more wisdom” said Jim RohnThe pretense prevents most everyone from becoming better. From building skills. From attaining wisdom.
The pretense is like a 2 feet by 4 feet jail cell… tight, restrictive, unpleasant. Continue reading
One of the trick of gurus and teachers is to be vague. It is that they seem to be vague… per se, by itself… No. They seem to be really clear… while in execution they allow everyone to make up their own interpretation, and thus fail.
Just look at meditation: I am an empath and I watch/feel what people are doing when they are supposedly meditating… Not.
Two kinds of results from followers:
Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and
do that. Because what the world needs is people who come alive. ~Nelson Mandela
There is a word in Hungarian. It is very expressive, a word I ponder… a lot.
It is “elanyatlanodik”. If I want to translate, so I don’t lose the root, it means becoming a motherless orphan.
The word indicates that a child, at any age, goes through a fundamental loss when they lose the mother.
Half of my students, in some emotional way, lost their mother, the other half would have been better off losing their mother.
What do I mean? Continue reading
