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”
I am reading Osho, specifically his collection of talks on freedom.
He didn’t actually write any of his books, they are collections of his spontaneous daily talks in his ashrams to his devotees, answering questions.
One of the most intriguing concepts is this:
You want freedom. Freedom of choice.
And you find out that once you have chosen, anything, the scope of freedom gets reduced, diminished.
He suggests this experiment:
Stand up. Now raise one of your feet and stand on the other leg.
Now lift the other leg…
You can’t, can you?
This is how choice and freedom are connected.

Is that a distraction? Does that get me closer to my target?One of the big issue I see with people is this:
You have big desires… but you don’t consider doing the things you have to do to attain them worth your while.

I talked about negative emotions as early warning signals.

I watched Charlie Chaplin accepting his life achievement Oscar in 1972? 1
His feelings as he is standing there during the 10 minute standing ovation, belies the grief, anger, disappointment, feeling slighted, thrown out, devastated 20 years earlier, when the United States unceremoniously threw him out…
I can relate… lol.

All models are wrong, but some are useful. This model is useful.
Robert Fritz, author of the book, The Path of Least Resistance, can offer a lot of information on the topic.
Fritz’s oscillating structures is a model and it is useful.
What no one seems to write about is the big cycles that are hard to see, and even harder to see that you have anything to do with them.
I call this “the machine” and it is time to bring it up again, because so many people are unwittingly pulled into the downward phase of the machine cycle… have gone to hell… and I want to make sure they will come back.
I am going to talk about the machine that runs, under the cover, in the concealed, and runs your life, in every area of life.
Money, well-being, joy, relationships, and spirituality all have cycles, and what you don’t know can kill you there.

Why and how you got stuck?What is it that counters you taking that action, when you don’t do what you see would be a good move?
What is winning when you are obviously losing?
Obviously, as always, the answer to those questions is under the hood.
Obviously, because above the hood you are losing. But under the hood, something or someone is winning…
