Context is decisive… or why your dreams only exist in words… not in reality

You have freedom to create any context you wish. There are only two kinds of contexts:

1. Empowering Context
2. Disempowering Context

Empowering means, simply, that it gives you power to go in the direction you meant to go. It is like the wind behind your back.

Disempowering, as in anything negative, what takes you off your path, hinders you, takes your power away, makes you doubt, etc.

The Anna Karenina principle ((The Anna Karenina principle describes an endeavor in which a deficiency in any one of a number of factors dooms it to failure. Consequently, a successful endeavor (subject to this principle) is one where every possible deficiency has been avoided.

The name of the principle derives from Leo Tolstoy’s book Anna Karenina, which begins:

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

In other words: in order to be happy, a family must be successful on each and every one of a range of criteria e.g: sexual attraction, money issues, parenting, religion, in-laws. Failure on only one of these counts leads to unhappiness. Thus there are more ways for a family to be unhappy than happy.)) applies here:

Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.

What life did you choose in the first hour of your day? The Backdrop

being-firstEvery day works best if and when you have a context set in the first hour of the day. ((If you prefer the imprecise New Agey language of Esther Hicks, the original quote is here

Take the time to line up the Energy first, and action becomes inconsequential. If you don’t take the time to line up the Energy, if you don’t find the feeling place of what you’re looking for, not enough action in the world will make any difference.

She is trying to say the same thing. Trying.))

For most of you this is the same old, same old, because you put your attention to everything the same old way. I am not saying you should DO something different every morning, that is not what I am saying.

Doing different will not set the context, doing different will not change your beingness, doing different will not change what is the backdrop that all of life, everything that happens during that day, will happen.

Context, backdrop are being phenomena… They are like hunger.

Who are you to think that you don’t need skills, don’t need knowledge in the world?

Most people today try to eat soup while they can only contribute one or two ingredients to that meal.

singing

Internal and external barriers to growth, changing, success, the good life

is it worth my time, given what I am up to?Is that a distraction? Does that get me closer to my target?

One of the big issue I see with people is this:

You have big desires… but you don’t consider doing the things you have to do to attain them worth your while.

Catch 22.

Your desire for comfort and doing nothing conflicts with your desire for what you say you desire.

Something has to give.

Most people experience stress and suffer from it. But you don’t have to, unless…

stress-job-interviewMost people experience stress and suffer from it

Stress is your body’s way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action.

You probably think that stress is the same for everyone, that stress is a physical reality, but it doesn’t seem to be that way.

There is no such thing as stress. Stress only exists when someone says so: it is a lot like most people we deal and struggle with in life: made up by humans. Not real…

how-do-you-handle-stressAnd different people, depending on their upbringing, on their conduct of language, on their education, will say different things. For example I never used the word stress and still don’t… It doesn’t exist for me.

This is why some people, in the exact same circumstances remain calm, collected, and free from the symptoms of “stress”, while the person next to them reacts harshly, getting emotionally upset, etc.

So why is one person reacting one way? What is the difference between people who respond one way or the other?

In this conversation I am going to speak through distinctions: recognizable and predictable ways. Distinctions is recognizable and discrete groups of “stuff” that life is built up from. Atom is a distinction. Molecule is a distinction. Cell is a distinction. Humility is a distinction. Your ancestry is a distinction.

Your reaction to stress depends on…

If you have the word “stress” in your vocabulary… you can still have different reaction to it, than another person! Your reaction to stress depends on you… who you consider yourself as… given by your history, your education, your physical state, your mental state, how many things you recognize in the world correctly, and your world view.

stress-response

  • If you consider yourself a victim: everything will happen to that victim, and you will have predictable, and repeatable effects consistent with being a victim.

    Things happen to you: you feel powerless, you act powerless, and you feel beaten down, or do what many powerless people do: yell, argue, threaten, hit… punishing another for your suffering.

  • If you have a world view of right and wrong, and what is supposed to be or not to be, your relationship to stress that it shouldn’t be. It should not happen: life should be smooth. And when something shouldn’t be, then your reaction to it is to resist it, hide from it, avoid it, or try to fix it.
  • If your education is myopic and did not prepare you for life well… you’ll be able to see only the effect of stress, and you won’t be able to see the cause… You’ll suffer about the effects and maybe try to fix them… but you will not see the causes, especially the causes that you can change.

  • Your physical state, your health, your hydration, your nutritional state makes a huge difference. brain-gut_grande

    When you are well, balanced, hydrated, and your body works as it is meant to work, you are less prone to get upset from stress, and you will handle everything with more grace and ease.

  • Same with your emotional and mental state. When things go well for you, when you like yourself, things can happen and you can view them with detachment: you can handle them with ease. They don’t feel personal, and they don’t feel threatening: you can feel that you are bigger than what is happening.

gut-brain_axis_large“Stress and emotional pain is not caused by external issues, but by the battle between who you really are and the false ideas you’ve been brainwashed to believe about yourself.”

  • And your response to things depends a whole lot on your level of astuteness

    Astuteness is a number that measures how clearly and accurately you see the difference between different things.

  • If you talk to an Inuit, or an Eskimo, you’ll notice that they have a large vocabulary about weather conditions, like snow.
  • If you talk to a Midwestern person, you’ll notice that they can tell the severity and the nearly exact timing of a storm coming from the West.
  • If you talk to a taylor, you’ll find that they can tell many different shades of black… while you can only see one. Black. You won’t even look again… black is black…

Your emotional astuteness, your societal astuteness, your business astuteness, your political, history, weather, relationship, etc. astuteness, the number, will be an excellent predictor of how stressed you are going to be when things happen.

What are the signs of low astuteness?

Things happen, and you have no idea how, why, when it happened… you are dumbfounded, powerless, and unprepared.

To you everything is the same as everything else… to you everything is a surprise… you didn’t expect it. To you everyone else is there to bother you, upset you, compete with you, or admire you.

Your world is about you: you are the center… and you are suffering.

In my work with people, I could say, simply: I work with you so you can have a life virtually stress free…

I don’t intend to change your life. You may, but I don’t. I am working with you to change you.

Your astuteness, your physical state, your hydration, nutrition, your world view. Your self image. Your education level.

It’s a lot of work, and the results are unpredictable.

  1. Some people are wise: they take teaching, guidance, intelligently.
  2. Most people are foolish: they have reasons why the guidance doesn’t apply to them, why they can’t do it, why it’s not their fault.
  3. And some people are evil: they feel justified to destroy you in their self-righteous anger against you.

I have all three kinds of clients and students…

I filter who I do business with quite effectively by restricTing people to a very narrow selection of my products.

My favorite way to filter people is to ask them to donate $5 to me to measure their vibration.

Vibration is a very complicated number, but I can tell a world about you through it.

Your vibration number (between 1 and 1000) tells me how you react to things that are happening. Tells me how truthful you are with yourself and others. Tells me the level of your health, your attitude to feedback and guidance. How accurate your world view is, compared to reality.

Based on what I find, I may recommend you a path to follow to raise your vibration.

Want to find out where you are on the vibrational scale?

Here is a whole page that explains it more…

If you think you are ready to get your number, here is a button to send me a donation and get your vibration measured.

Tai Lopez’s 5 Steps To ‘The Good Life’

tai-party-croppedI am a coach. But spirituality is a tricky thing: not much action: most things happen on the inside as a result of some shift.

But… but it is only possible to coach someone who is in action.

For decades I tried to coach people who weren’t… and it was a waste of my efforts. Decades. I hated my life… 🙁

Finally I wisened up when I myself bought Tai’s program and started to do it.

It was action. Daily or five times a week action. I either did it or didn’t do it. I either paid attention or I didn’t. I was either humble and soaked it up like a sponge, or judged it. I was either growing or shrinking. It had a what and it had a how aspect. Excellent.

I saw that it is the perfect thing for my clients and students to do: do the 67 steps… and then suddenly there will be sense in coaching them.

There is no hurry on the creative plane…

there-is-no-hurryWallace D. Wattles said that. One Hundred years ago. ((To get access on my site to the book The Science of Getting Rich (audiobook and pdf) you either need to be in the 67 steps, be a paying subscriber, or be registered in the What’s the Truth About you webinars

or if you want to have access to a lot of good stuff, go here https://free-stuff.by-sophie.com))

Of course he was mistaken in 70% of what he said; your thoughts do not create, etc. and yet. The 30% is worth its weight in gold.

I have been practicing being on the creative plane: no hurry, no competition, no scarcity, you can’t miss anything… Not easy to stay on it… wasn’t even easy to “climb” on it.

It’s been the best thing ever happened to my life.

I see it even clearer by observing my students who are always in a hurry.

Tai has this “patient-impatient” and “impatient-patient” going, and I have to admit that it goes right over my head… just like his PACE categories… but I completely get that if you start anything with the idea that it is going be fast, that it is going to be easy, you are going to make mistakes, and you are going to run out of steam.

One model for a satisfying life is the battery.

cell-battery-rundownIf you suck the last little bit of energy out of your battery and then charge it, next day it will give you a little more… ((I just read that this is not true for all types of batteries… well, it is true for most people…)

But if you suck the energy sparingly, if you are more worried about the battery than about building something with the energy… at the end of the day energy is left in the battery.

You charge it overnight, and next day the battery will show full, but its full is only the 70% you used the day before…

And little by little, your sparing the battery attitude, your stinginess leaves you with hardly any energy to get things done, to think, to dream, to imagine, to be creative.

This is how life works.

The energy-loss, the loss of vibrancy, capacity loss can be gradually reversed…

Tree of Knowledge path to life… Tree of Life path to Life. What’s the difference?

evolution-horseAs people round the steps in the 67 step coaching program, as they begin the second cycle, they start to see new things, or they keep on seeing the same things…

Some see the things from memory. Comparing. “Knowing”. And some from actually seeing.

Step two (in the 67 steps) introduces the idea of the Selfish Gene, evolutionary stable strategy.

This point is where people diverge: one in the direction of the Tree of Knowledge, the other in the direction of the Tree of Life.

It is really amazing to watch them go, unaware of the other path.
