What do I know that you don’t, that I don’t often get upset? In spite of my peppery constitution…

you live in a world of your own designOne of the things I learned in Landmark Education, 1 is that there is physical development, and there is emotional, ethical, moral development each person needs to go through to become a fully functioning adult.

It was brand new information to me and it blew my mind.

It was new to me in spite of the fact that I was educated, having read thousands of books… even about child psychiatry, and yet, it was an earth shattering revelation to me.

I, like other people, thought that children were born with the capacity to understand why certain things are harmful, etc.

I’d thought that the inability to comprehend and appreciate responsibility for your own actions, for example, was not inability, instead it was unwillingness. Ability as programmed by the genes wasn’t becoming clear to me until about 13 years later. Continue reading “What do I know that you don’t, that I don’t often get upset?

If nothing has worked for you… you are still as stuck as ever

Let’s look at the role of discovery in growth… your growth… if there is no growth, there has been no discovery.

All the steps of the 67 steps program are nudges for you to discover something that you haven’t seen.

Of course, like with everything, your tendency is to go to your head for the answers, and not look at all outside of your head.

The step (Step 5) where the homework is to list what you see about poor people and rich people is a great step to show your relationship to growth.

If you think you are rich, you go and tell me how what you do, how you think, how you feel is the way to be rich. No looking, no discovery.

The path to freedom and happiness in a world where neither freedom nor happiness are supported

pleasure-principleI have gotten to a point in reading Freud’s book where I am now clear where what he says and what I know to be effective in facilitating happiness in humans.

Here is what is going on… psychologically, socially, and maybe even genetically, though that is too deep for my current understanding.

Humans are animals, with the same drives any animal has: the drive to procreate and the drive to aggression to everyone who seems to stand in their way.

Sounds simplistic, but it’s that simple.

Learned helplessness versus innovate yourself out of your box

7426919_f496Learned helplessness is a technical term coined by Dr. Martin Seligman.

I don’t want to spend time with what he means by that, and how he came to discover this phenomenon… you can google it if you want to know.

If you are in the 67 steps, it’s step 7…

What I want to focus on here is the place where you won’t look: today… Where you locked yourself into a small box.

How come you are the way you are, how come you live in such a tiny box, no fulfillment, no energy, no love, no success…

So, how do you find the areas where you have learned helplessness limiting your life, the dance floor, the ability to accomplish?

Charlie Munger… quotes

charlie-mungerCharlie Munger was a college dropout who served as a meteorologist in the US Army Air Corps before graduating from Harvard Law.

And then he met Warren Buffett.

The rest is history.

As vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, Munger is Buffett’s right-hand man. He has an estimated net worth of $1.19 billion.

Like Buffett, Munger is incredibly sharp in his wit and investing wisdom. You might even argue that his words are more blunt and unfiltered than Buffett’s.

We compiled a list of Munger’s most insightful quotes about investing, business, and life.

Check them out below:

overestimating-your-intelligence-could-be-a-major-pitfallOverestimating your intelligence could be a major pitfall.

If you think your IQ is 160 but it’s 150, you’re a disaster. It’s much better to have a 130 IQ and think it’s 120. Continue reading “Charlie Munger… quotes”

Without distinctions everything stays the same

if you want a rewarding lifeIn the old Landmark Education Forum, or in the old 4-day Forum, the old Advanced course… the course leader came in yelling: “for you everything is the same as everything else…” or alternatively: “You don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground“.What are distinctions and what they have to do with a life worth living?

What they meant to say is that you don’t have distinctions and therefore life is a mess of undifferentiated stuff… and you have no power with it.

Distinctions are the different ways to look at things. There are a lot of those… most of those you don’t have.

In the normal course of events you judge things looking through the distinctions you have. Why? you don’t have a choice about it.

Empaths, psychics, healers: could you become one? Can it be handed to you?

193425c787911179faa234a5ae039caaIt’s very uncomfortable being an empath who “evaluates” others.

Any psychic, or seer, or empath, or whatever… even doctor, who isn’t uncomfortable is a shyster. After all you don’t know.

Knowing anything is arrogant. You see or feel what you see or feel, and you are ready to question it.

If you don’t know what keeps you poor, then you’ll remain poor

habits-that-will-keep-you-poorThis may be the most important question… because I am certain you are not rich…

If you don’t know what keeps you poor, then you’ll remain poor… and if you are not even willing to look, then I know your future, as surely as if it had already happened.

I have been observing myself and have found, so far, seven things that keep me poor, that each, by itself, could keep me poor.

How willing you are to look deeply will be the best feedback for you, like a promise, like a horoscope, like fortune telling:

…because if you don’t know what keeps you poor, then you’ll remain poor… or get even poorer.

Life is not forgiving.

You don’t have to use your name, but if you are unwilling to comment… that will say the same thing.

So, start looking and start commenting.

I am not particularly interested in surface stuff. Or even money stuff… I am also not interested in belief crap…

If you are in my 67-step coaching… go beyond where you’ve stopped… and go deeper, wider, so you can map out all the things that you can detect with your current level of understanding.

Warning: poverty is not about money and being rich is not about money.

You can be poor and have a lot of money!

Why removing money blocks, negative beliefs and other stuff won’t help you

ineffective method: release money blocksWhy removing money blocks, negative beliefs and other stuff won’t help you

I get a lot of “hits” from people looking for Christie Marie Sheldon, or Natalie Ledwell… but they are not the only gurus who fatten themselves from your cluelessness.

Removing money blocks, negative beliefs and other stuff won’t help you, neither will fanning your desire… On the contrary.

I’ll explain: I will start with examples from my work.

Please know that the Universe is holographic, and principles are principles, because they works across seemingly disparate, different domains.

  1. Example one: I offer a service to remove energetic attachments.
