Could you, can you have a great life without ever adding a spiritual capacity to your arsenal?
This question has never been asked of me, so I am asking the question, for you, on your behalf.
Because we are starting to see that keeping spiritual capacities on is not the easiest thing to do… unless…
I’ll talk about that unless later on in this article.
So, what is the answer?
The answer is surprising: you can have a great life without ever adding a spiritual capacity.
Most people look how you express yourself not what it is you express… This article is about “what” not “how”… What is the Self you express with everything… your life, your job, your relationships, with your music, poetry, and your life. There are two selves, and the reason life doesn’t work for most of us is because the two selves are not connected in any way. Self 1: your genes, your desire to survive and procreate. Self 2: your human desire to be higher than just your genes… to live your higher self. Self in the expression of th The Indian sages, including the Buddha, skipped the extrinsic. They taught people not to live there. They had a disdain for it. But work is on the extrinsic level, making money is on that level, so skipping it means living a life of charity. Living a life where you cannot value another person on all levels… because you don’t value the values of that level. ONCE, WHEN THE HASIDIM WERE SEATED TOGETHER HE WAS SURPRISED AT THE QUESTION, BUT THEN HE WENT ON TO TELL THEM THIS STORY.. SINCE HE LOVED THEM THE KING WANTED TO SHOW THEM MERCY, But enough is enough… and I am a little flapped… lol. I can feel the corners of my mouth pointing downward, and I am pouting a little. I screwed up… I did all the things I tell you not to do… lol… I alternate between laughing out loud and pouting. Actually quite funny. Not dead. I was nodding… I heard it from “I already know” and the next thing I know I crashed my windows setup… and bam… all my files are gone. Luckily I didn’t have Amateurish performance, amateurish life. ((Your level of fulfillment is exponentially correlated to the amount of effort you invested. Easy: no fulfillment. Hard, lots of effort, hardship: lots of fulfillment.)) I have been wrong in thinking that humility is the ultimate stumbling block. It seems that humility can help the mind withdraw from the “I don’t need to hear this I already know everything” stance, and allow you to learn, and use your other faculties. But I can now see, that without courage first activated, present and in working order, humility won’t be accepted, because it takes courage to get out of the mind. I hate that this is so… after all I spent so much time attempting to activate humility, with no success. So we are down to courage… An Good morning Sophie. I finally settled in. I would like to share the change that I see after your activation of the two DNA capacities. The first thing I noticed is in my kids. My daughter in the past never wanted to help when she was cooking or baking even though she wouldn’t have a clue what needs to be done: She had an “I already know attitude.” Now whenever she is baking she accepts little tips like what needs to go in a cookie batter. Or asks me what goes next. I
Self-expression: what is the Self you are expressing? With your life…
People throw around the words: self-expression, but I have never found a person who knows what it means. Back into light… The counter cultural way to become your higher self, no matter where you are.
Living in the three levels of value, the systemic, the extrinsic, and the intrinsic, lived fully, and balanced, is the secret to the good life. Osho: The art of walking the tightrope
In this series of Osho talks he examines stories from different ancient cultures. This is an excellent companion to what I teach. Enjoy!
IN ALL BROTHERLINESS,

BECAUSE HE WAS SO FRIENDLY THEY ASKED HIM,
‘TELL US, DEAR RABBI, HOW SHOULD WE SERVE GOD?’
AND REPLIED, ‘HOW SHOULD I KNOW?’

The funniest part of this story (oops, I haven’t even told you what happened… in a little bit, ok?) the funniest part that this happened right after I watched, for the third time, the episode in the 67 steps where you are warned to double secure yourself against mistakes and the cost. The capacity of seeing patterns…the threshold capacity
I am reading a book, Peak: Secrets from the New Science of Expertise. I am reading it because I want to be able to teach my students better, so they can leave behind the level of ordinary school learning, the pedestrian learning that always produces pedestrian result. What is the true stumbling block preventing you from going from A to B?
I have been wrong.What is courage really?
