Whoever thought that the well-meaning positive thinking will become a prison and a sentence to a ‘no joy life’ for most who become a ‘practitioner’ of it, about 80% of humanity at this time.
Whether you know it or not, your powers of comprehension depend on your powers of distinguishing. Continue reading “Cancer: The unintended consequence of positive thinking”

When I participated in Landmark Education I was always in a seminar. For 26 years. A seminar is a 13-14 week long, 10 session program.
A good seminar leader would advise the participants to put all their lives inside the seminar.
What the heck does that mean? Continue reading “What is driving you to do the same things over and over?”

I had a conversation the other day with my core group. They felt to me rudderless, directionless, low on energy… like a floater.
What’s a floater, you ask? A floater is like stork sh!t… floats in the air and occasionally drops on the ground. Storks are known to poop while in the air… their poop dries out and starts its own rise and fall journey with the air stream… no innate motive power. A floater is like that.

Okay. This article is still going to be about context.
I am getting requests to help people change their context or create a new context, such that life starts turning with this new context. So what am I talking about?
Life is co-created and life happens inside the context that you live in. Continue reading “Without a new context your life will remain the same”

This is the second part of this series about the pebble in your shoe… The one that cramps your style, spoils your efforts, and leaves you with less than you started, no results, no joy, no satisfaction.
So what is the pebble? Here is my definition, the result of a lot of looking, pondering… The Pebble is what you take as self-evident, therefore it’s invisible for you: it’s the concealed switch of the machine that you are…
It is what Ayn Rand refers to in Atlas Shrugged… Contradictions do not exist. Whenever you think you are facing a contradiction, check your premises. You will find that one of them is wrong.
“Check your premises” is an injunction that runs as a subtheme through Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged , and it is a phrase that seems to be growing more pertinent every day. The meaning of the phrase is this: If you seem to be confronting a contradiction, then at least one of your relevant beliefs is false

Yesterday I was on a zoom training with a known videographer.
He gave an assignment to us, participants, to make a five-minute ‘confession video’ of why we do what we do, being vulnerable, authentic, and firm in the declaration of the intention for what we do.
Each their own… not as a group. Continue reading “Confession Video? What are you confessing?”

Tai Lopez uses an analogy that really talks to me. He says that we need to be like a soup. Our knowledge, our lives needs to be like good soup.
What does it mean to be a good soup?
You can’t make a good soup with just a few ingredients. You need a lot of ingredients to make a soup that you don’t have to make edible by crumbling crackers into it, or bread.
Some poor man’s soups, onion soup, garlic soup, ‘rue’soup in Hungary, are so uninteresting that you can’t eat it without putting bread in them. The versions with poached egg, cheese melted on top, etc. are the restaurant versions of the same soups… but the soup itself is a poor man’s soup. Poor as in not having much to give. Continue reading “How to become whole and complete? Like good soup…”

In this article we’ll look how psychopathy will stop you from soaring by making you, the center of the world fixed, unchangeable. And unless you can change…
Don’t be mistaken: Source’s definition of psychopathy doesn’t quite agree with the common view… I listen to Source, not the common view.
Long time ago clients are suddenly interested in participating again… clients that I hadn’t heard from for many years.
And somehow I managed to talk to their soul… and the soul told them to get off their butt and do something about their life.
Because don’t be mistaken, life is not kind to anyone, and it continues to be unkind if you continue living exactly the way you have always lived. Continue reading “Psychopathy will prevent you from soaring…”

My racket, as most rackets, was created by some act of stupidity. The natural stupidity of a 3-year old.
I did the 4-day Forum back in 1987… and I learned about racket. Or maybe it was later? In a later incarnation for the Forum? Does it matter? I learned about it when I learned about it… long time ago.
It seemed to me that every complaint is a different racket, and I wasn’t alone with that. Everyone thought that.
Staff members’ favorite slight to each other and participants was: ‘That is just a racket!’ pronounced in a tone designed to diminish you. Continue reading “Case study: My racket”

Why would non-linear anything be so difficult for you? So difficult that you can’t even fathom what I am talking about, let alone do it. I am talking about wordless thinking…
The answer will surprise you, but not for the reason you think.
This means a lot. It definitely means that the mind can’t help you think… the mind is all words. Words upon words, meaning upon meanings.
The mind is not the organ of thinking. Continue reading “Wordless, non-linear, real thinking is wordless”
