The first Osho book I have ever read, was Maturity. I started to read it in the store, and fell in love with it.
It echoed one of my favorite Landmark courses, the Wisdom Course.
In that course, maturity was a state (they call it possibility, just a Landmark word!): where you were using adult capacities to live your life.
One would think that when you are an adult you use your adult capacities, but that is not the case.
Andy Shaw’s Creating a Bug Free Mind is a good book. It has shortcomings:
It is a stream of consciousness, repetitive, written purposefully to disengage the reader’s mind, it’s so hard to read.
It needs a lot more bugs to be taught, that Andy doesn’t know about, because they are a few …
The first and most important bug is KNOWING
In the Bible, in Aramaic, the verb “know” means living with, sleeping with. Intellectual knowing is a different word.
In today’s word knowing is one of those words that have many meanings. The purpose of calling many things with the same word is …
To answer the question in the title: I am not sure. I am guided…
In addition, a site where you can find all the “mind bugs” as Andy Shaw calls them, can be really useful.
My Playground program is the program where most of these “mind bugs” get driven up, but unless I write, in an …
The original post was written BEFORE I got my copy of The Bug Free Mind book from Andy Shaw. This is the actual review: I knew it was worth reading, (muscle tested it, of course) but I had no idea … Continue reading
As you know I am dyslexic. Very dyslexic. Reading even my own articles online is nearly impossible.
Today I got an article in an email where Andy of bugfree fame talks about the difference between motivation and inspiration. I could grab a sentence here and there… but I really could not read the article. But it’s been knocking about in my head, and I want to share with you what I experienced, and what opening I see for myself, an opening I have never seen before. I put the whole article in the footnotes… the article I could never read myself… ((In today’s footstep I am going to answer a question I had in a few days ago regarding motivation. I was asked what motivates me to make me to achieve my dreams.
To cover it I am going to take a section from the 2nd part of the Process Using A Bug Free Mind (Chapter 18 – Taking The Red Pill).
It comes from the point wh
It must be January, because my Effortless Abundance bundle is selling a lot. And Unlimited Abundance, astutely, is launching this month…
January, everyone looking at their current situation and starting to organize themselves to improve what they have.
The level of evolution where you are is called human. The next level is called human being.
I know, I know, everyone says, even the dictionary, that you are a human being, but it’s a misnomer.
If we continue with the analogy of climbing a circular staircase, in each paradigm you can be at the bottom of the steps on the top, or anywhere in between. ((Look at the picture on the left: on the bottom there is crowding, competition… towards the top less and less people are on the steps… that is exactly how it is in raising your consciousness… people give up.))
Let’s consider that it takes 100 rotations to get to the top of the staircase inside your current paradigm. Wherever you are, you’ll find yourself somewhere on that 1 to 100 scale. Most likely closer to the bottom… Sorry.
I have to admit, I would have never thought to write this article, without reading Andy Shaw’s book, Creating a Bug Free Mind. He writes extensively about worry.
I never thought of myself as a worrier, but, of course, I still worry from time to time. Nowhere near as much as others.
They call it fear of failure, anxiety, but it is all worry.
Spending all your mental energy fretting about something in the future, while in the present things don’t get done. Hm. Really stupid, isn’t it?
