I woke up at 3 am today. Shall I get up? I asked myself. Yes…. said something…
And then I asked, what part of me that wants me to get up.
My body, my intellect,
My psychology…
What is Psychology? Feeling science… right?
I want to be proud of myself. Continue reading “Word-cages… The means of keeping you powerless”

I am reading many books, many articles.
They all say that my life could be better, would be better if I just looked at the bright side of things.
But that… looking at only the bright side of things, actually leads to a boring, inauthentic life.
What makes good good is the contrast… No bad? Not looking at it? there suddenly isn’t good either… only boring, dull, dead. And you can’t sleep… Continue reading “You don’t like me? Want only positive guidance?”

When it comes to making buying decisions, what do I pay attention to?
I pay attention to how many different problems a product is trying to solve… claims to solve…
Because they are trying too hard.
Now, most things, most problems, admittedly, cannot be solved with one skill, one tool, one push of effort. You need a set of tools, a set of skills, and efforts invested in the right amount and in the right order.
But… tell me, can you tell a first grader to fix the leaky toilet, or to cook a three course meal?
You wouldn’t dare… Continue reading “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

This article, unintentionally, has two parts. They are loosely connected. One part is about hitting bottom, the second part is about getting out of the judgment, getting out of the systemic value paradigm where you have no future.

By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice/culture, they get to be wide apart. ~ Confucius
or by another great Chinese philosopher, Mengzi:
…if the people ‘are full of food, have warm clothes, and live in comfort but are without instruction, then they come close to being animals‘
Can you, do you ever contemplate what is the measure you could change? Change so you can be a high achiever, a high earner, a popular person, or even just healthier? Continue reading “By nature, men are nearly alike ~ Confucius”

A few comments and observations that have arisen from my offer to muscletest your health measurements for free.
If you think that past sins can be erased: you are probably mistaken about that.
Injuries, inner or outer, may leave you permanent disfigurement.
Pockmarks on your skin due to you not leaving your pimples alone is one example. The inner pockmarks due to indiscriminate eating are another. Continue reading “Who, what is responsible for your health or the lack of it?”

It’s like a root canal…Until you yank the roots of your misery, you can’t get better.
Imagine that your tooth is your life. You don’t want to yank your life. that would mean dying. But you can yank the root, the part that makes it hurt…
Or you can self-medicate.
Take drugs,
Drink
Sex
numb yourself…
get religious. it will divert your attention from your life
All self-medications are harmful, because they cement the notion that how it is is wrong. Continue reading “Til you yank the roots of your misery, you can’t get better”

Can evolution be triggered? Caused? Midwifed?In a lot of ways this has been a question, I think, for a long time. People who were ahead of their time asked this question, in one way or another.
So far there haven’t been any successful attempts at causing mass evolution. Maybe an individual, but not a group, or a species.
There are fairy tales of some incidents, but muscletest shows that they are just that: fairy tales.
One of them is the story of the Hundredth Monkey. Continue reading “The key to the evolution of the human species discovered…”

When someone says: get present… what do YOU mean by that?
I have noticed that people often know the ‘what’ but completely miss the ‘how’.
I am almost certain that when I say ‘how’, you don’t even know where to look.
And I am almost certain that that unawareness, that ignorance, that ‘I have no idea what you are talking about‘ came from your upbringing, from your parents. Continue reading “When someone says: get present: what do YOU mean by that?”

How do you cook frogs?
You put them in water. And then, slowly raise the temperature. So slowly that it is near imperceptible for the frogs. They will not jump out of the pot, because they won’t feel it.
Wild turns, jumps, dramatic workshops are dramatic, but ineffective.
Most things you want to change are stuck on the genetic level. All the behaviors are lined up neatly, like apples on an apple cart.
