There is no such book… I made up the cover myself…
A few years ago I made a lot of money selling my Sleep Rescue Remedy. It worked, and 80% of the buyers bought it again. All I needed to do is fill and ship bottles fast enough.
Sleep is a big problem… Continue reading “Reality for dummies or what can you find there?”

You can have two kinds of attitude in life, and which one you have will decide what kind of life you’ll live.
And no, it is not innate. You are not born with it, you assumed that attitude, for reasons of your own.
The two attitudes are
1. coming from
2. going to
I measure to what degree you hope, expect, effort, work, pretend, lie, cheat so that you get what you want. Security, health, wealth, love, fulfillment, happiness…
You want Life, people, society to give you that you want… And your happiness, fulfillment, etc. depend on what you get. Continue reading “Your life, driven by your concerns, will…”

Your worldview is invisible to you. It’s like the floor you walk on… the foundation of your life.You need to understand that your dislike of certain people makes you a moron if you also decide that THEREFORE what they say must be stupid…
Or you like how someone looks, and therefore they must be smart. Ugh. Continue reading “Worldviews: Tree of Knowledge winning over the Tree of Life?”

What if we are not mice that make a mess while the cat is elsewhere… What if it is in our best interest to consider that the Creator is watching us… and doing what he intended for us to do, without grumbling, willingly, and with joy?
What if liberty to do whatever you want to do is not just stupid but also what makes you miserable… because the smart way to live is by the design the Creator created for us? And that is not liberty… it is living by design.
What if the order of things is… Continue reading “What if integrity is living like the Creator intended?”
We are definitely dealing with something that feels like an uncatchable ball.
We find something and it turns out not to be THE BALL… and we need to go and find another ball to catch… but instead of being able to catch it, it slips out of our grasp.
Why are we even trying?
Because unless and until we catch it and have it in our grasp, firmly, our lives cannot change, our performance cannot change, we cannot really get to where we love ourselves, love our lives, and live it powerfully.
This uncatchable ball is small, slippery, and evasive.
And we want to catch it… If nothing else, I am tenacious… And so help me god, I’ll catch it. Identify it, if it takes me a hundred articles… I will. For you, and for me.
This article is an attempt to catch it… The next article is already written and will come out later today…

I woke up this morning with a question.
Being good, doing good feels good. Doing bad doesn’t feel good to me. And when I am asking my clients, they claim it doesn’t feel good, but then why are they doing it?
I pondered this for about half an hour when I suddenly, like a lightning, saw that good and bad are human constructs. Continue reading “It is in the code books stupid! Look in the codes!”

A few minutes ago I became aware that I have nothing to do. That I am pondering whether I should watch Netflix or continue playing Freecell.
Woah… WTF? So I looked. And what I saw surprised me. I saw that suddenly I don’t have a direction.
And then I realized that I watched that ground shaking video of Tai yesterday, and didn’t do the assignment… set a new context, a direction, a horizon, according to what he explains in the video, for myself.
But, you ask, why wouldn’t I do it? Continue reading “Tripwires. landmines: only the intelligent and aware thrives”

I woke up unhappy. I woke up from a dream where I was framed and was struggling for my life.
Even though waking up freed me from the struggle, the unhappy state hung out for a few minutes after awakening.
I went to bed last night, and didn’t fall asleep for two and a half hours. I wasn’t unhappy then… Instead I was musing. About worlds. About humanity. And about history and alternate history. I was fascinated and enjoyed it. Continue reading “The filter of expectation… what should be there but isn’t”
What is the Ego’s reward for getting you to the Promised Land?
So, I have been observing that many people who seemingly were interested in what I have to say now aren’t.
So what are they suddenly interested in? And I am especially interested in where they go where they actually spend their attention and their money.
I am turning on my X-ray eyes, so to say, and look. Continue reading “What is the Ego’s role in getting you to the Promised Land?”

Life gives you much if you give of yourself much.
Of yourself? Yes.
If you give, just an example, money to life, life gives you nothing. Money is not ‘of you’, is it?
Then if you give time, dutifully, begrudgingly… ditto.
If you cook for your family, but you don’t put yourself into your cooking, not giving love, care, nurturing… ditto.
And if you are now confused, get unconfused, and get it. If you put of yourself into what you do, not for yourself, but for life, then life reciprocates it. Continue reading “Life reciprocates. How can you get more? More of what?”
