Attitudes: the All-or-nothing attitude causes rigidity

The best training program I have ever participated in was the Introduction to the Forum Leaders Program at Landmark Education.

A good training, I say, begins with screening.

If the purpose is to get the participants trained.

If the purpose is to find out who, what kind of person you can’t train successfully, then accept everyone who applies.

Therefore, the first step of any ‘good’ training program is to screen the applicants. Continue reading “Attitudes: the All-or-nothing attitude causes rigidity”

How to stop thinking while listening? And actually hear…

How to stop thinking while listening?

If you ever asked yourself a different question: how do I become less reactive? You would have gotten a better answer asking the question in the title.

Whaaat? Yeah.

But how? But why?

Let’s first look at what it takes to stop ‘thinking’ while listening. Continue reading “How to stop thinking while listening? And actually hear…”

Can you listen while you talk? Do you listen while you talk?

As usual, I started my day with emails. Why? because, surprise, I wasn’t aching to tell you something. I had nothing to say.

That doesn’t stop millions, maybe billions of people from talking nonsense, I observe. and in fact I myself was labeled chatty Cathy, or chatterbox in English, or Dumás Dusi in Hungarian. Continue reading “Can you listen while you talk? Do you listen while you talk?”

This article may become a wakeup call. I hope you’ll wake up

Question on Quora:

My friend just died of colon/liver cancer. She lived 5 weeks after diagnosis. We had been on vacation the week before diagnosis and her only complaint was indigestion. How is this possible? What kind of cancer can move this quickly undetected? Continue reading “This article may become a wakeup call. I hope you’ll wake up”

Only waking up because we didn’t die the night before

It’s a symptom. You have no reason to wake up. Moreover, you have no reason, no purpose to be alive.

The eight billion lives like that 90% of the time. For someone who has the Sight capacity open, it is quite obvious. It has a hollow feeling to it that the speaker tries to fill it with phony cheerfulness, or phony sweetness, or phony eagerness.

Trying. Continue reading “Only waking up because we didn’t die the night before”

Do you have mind parasites? How would you know?

This article is about forces that work against you and forces that work for you.

Some 14 years ago I witnessed a partnership that broke up.

Then both of the previous partners went on, and got themselves another partner. I watched them grow. Continue reading “Do you have mind parasites? How would you know?”

What do you like about a movie? book? TV series? person?

What do you like about a movie? A book? A TV series? A person?

The drama? The look of the actors?

So, observing myself, I have discovered that I don’t watch something unless I like at least one person there.

And to be truthful, you have to be a good person for me to like you. Continue reading “What do you like about a movie? book? TV series? person?”

Why wouldn’t you see anything new with The Sight capacity?

I have, as you may know, activated The Sight capacity for many people. The Sight is a bundle of eight capacities to see, including foresight, being able to see the steps all the way to the target you see, and seeing what’s happening as the Observer, not as an involved participant.

Some of the people whose capacity I helped open are not seeing any changes.

So this article is going to be about why wouldn’t you see anything different, anything new, after you had the eight capacities opened, and how you could. Continue reading “Why wouldn’t you see anything new with The Sight capacity?”

Get out of your own way… what does it mean exactly?

Are YOU in your own way? Is that why you can’t grow, can’t learn, can’t amount to much.

Is that why you are always seeking, never finding? Why everyone is an a’hole, and you get angry and stew? Why you won’t even be looking to see?

Someone who has already gotten out of their way can have a good old time watching the zoo where humanity is the population. Continue reading “Get out of your own way… what does it mean exactly?”

Is this as deep as one can go? the monkey wrench…

What do you think the biggest issue with humanity is? What threw a monkey wrench in the works?

More often than anything it is hurry that is the monkey wrench in the works.

Eagerness. Wanting. Trying. Hunger. Urge. Forcing.

All horizontal plane. All competition. And all ineffectiveness. Monkey wrench in the works. Continue reading “Is this as deep as one can go? the monkey wrench…”
