Can you learn the skill of negotiation? The art?

What is the relationship between skills, learning new skills, and capacities?

All my life I have been puzzled why perfectly normal people fail at even understanding concepts from certain things, like distinctions, from communication, negotiation, empathy, caring, team work, leadership, responsibility… I could fill this page with examples.

I have had my own issues. One of them is understanding instructions if there is even just one word in the instructions I am not exactly clear what it means, or what the writer means, I can’t follow the instructions.

This is probably why, last week, I could not make the first computer I bought work: its one-page instructions sheet was written in a language I did not comprehend, and I didn’t trust myself to spend a year or so to learn those concepts so I can have the computer work.

I had to suspect that people I so confidently talk to, have a similar deficiency: they can’t make what I say work for them, because there are holes in the fabric of knowledge.

Then last year I tried to be helpful to a woman in Ireland (I even published our conversation to zero echo from readers!) by teaching her negotiation skills, empathy, looking at things from the other person’s point of view: methods that are obvious and easy for me. I was sure that other readers will love the article… I was wrong.

What I am learning from watching the World War II in color series? Evil? Incompetence?

hitler nazisI am watching the series on Netflix, World War II in color.

I am watching it through the filter, through the glasses of the spiritual capacities encoded in the DNA…

These spiritual capacities enable humanity to live in peace, to grow, to allow individuals to grow, to allow Heaven on Earth.

You need to know some personal stuff about me: I am the child of Holocaust survivors. Out of a big family, only my parents, and three second cousins survived.

But I am also an empath, a true empath, and am interested in causing a world with no wars, no hate, no incompetence. The evolution of the human race… to the level of human being…

These are my unedited notes… written in the midst of the experience… I am sure I’ll regret publishing them… It is hard to stay detached… so I allow myself to root, hate, anger… get involved… Even though I know how it turned out… I watch it like a suspense movie. Very interesting.

My goal is to see something. To teach what I saw. So you can learn from it.

The 40 golf ball method of growing yourself and your life

the 40 golf balls method of growing yourselfHow 40 Golf Balls Can Make You a Better Entrepreneur

I found the following article on Linkedin. And I thought that publishing it, without editing it is a good idea, because the lesson the guy teaches, 1 is showing where and how you miss the ball, no pun intended, and what it is you can do to apply it to your spirituality, to adding spiritual capacities to your arsenal, to raising your vibration, to going from where you are to where you can get to.

One of my students, I’ll write more about him after the golf-ball article, down the page, wrote to me last night:

He went to a comedy show with other entrepreneurs…

The comedy show was good but I don’t understand any more why people have to get drunk to have a good time I forget what it’s like and after 7 years of sobriety there is no desire to do it but man people become idiots I’m not judging it is just interesting I was observing people all night they came in shy then an hour later they are making asses out of themselves. The way I always look at it is I will feel good tomorrow and they are going to feel like shit so is it actually worth getting drunk when I can get high on life

When I first met this guy, he was so far from getting high on life, it’s not even funny. But he actually used the 40-golfballs method, instinctively… and look where he is now

The end of procrastination, the end of maybe even addiction?

The productivity myth, the end of procrastination, maybe even addiction?

the effectiveness of productive effort, especially in industry, as measured in terms of the rate of output per unit of input.

  • A few of you are dealing with the issue of speed… how long it takes to get done what you need to get done.
  • Others of you are dealing with the issue of speed… zero is also a speed. Said in another way: you don’t get done what needs to get done. What should be done. What is essential to get done.
Why? You don’t like to do it. You don’t want to do it. So you suffer.

I just learned a new word. Mentality. and social attitudes

trying-to-bring-you-downThis article was designed to make you look… to be interactive, co-creative.

Even the pictures are a question: what is the mentality, what is the attitude, the social attitude, that it represents? Please work with me: you’ll get insight from it, Guaranteed.

And I will need your help with mining all the gold that can be found in that new word.

Can you tell what someone’s mentality is? I bet you have never asked this question, am I right? I don’t think I have, at least not this word. Maybe I used mindset. Maybe I used attitude… but I don’t think I have ever used the word: mentality.

Now, why is mentality a brilliant word?

Because it is the “characteristic attitude” one has.

I saw this word this morning as I was looking for an article I read yesterday on playing the lottery. I’ll talk about it later… let me just stay with the word, for now.

Your mentality, I say, is invisible to you. You see the results of it, but you don’t see it. You need a person outside of you to see it.

Characteristic attitude can be about anything… but here are a few ways to look at attitude

  1. something is more important than others (morals/winning, freedom/comfort, etc. this is hard to see, at least seeing yours is near impossible)
  2. Something is better than other things (pairs of things come here, like alone/companionship, poor/rich, smart/stupid, etc.)
  3. I and you… our relationship to each other (you are above me, I am smarter, you are smarter…)
  4. who or what has the power… and where do I stand in this?
  5. who deserves and who doesn’t (religious people deserve, nice people deserve, I was bad: I don’t deserve, etc.)
  6. where do I stand on the totem pole… (hierarchy) in this dog eat dog world? (I am the scum of the earth, worthless, I am the best, etc.)

Looking at the quote “No problem can be solved on the same level of consciousness which created it…” through spiritual capacities

no-problem-can-be-solved-from-the-same-level-of-consciousnessThe quote, “No problem can be solved on the same level of consciousness which created it…” is thrown about, without a true understanding what the saying entails.

When Einstein was a professor of Physics, he gave a test to his graduate students. His assistant remarked: “Isn’t this the exact same exam you gave these students a year ago?”
“Yes, exactly. answered Einstein. The questions are the same… The answers have changed”

Today his answer is as true as it was 70 years ago
The questions are still the same… and the answers have changed… and yet, we are trying to do more of the same, less of the same, but never any different, because the level of consciousness is stuck at a low level.

Doing different can only come from seeing different, seeing differently, looking from a different consciousness level.

Spiritual capacities: Abundance, and my barriers to it

I have had a few skype calls with friends in Hungary recently. I had a hard time expressing myself when the conversation came to my work. It seems that I have been trapped in one way of saying things, naming thing, untranslatable to another culture, no words, just stammers. Result: they don’t quite get it.

I saw that I could use phrases similar to what other “spiritual teachers”, the popular ones, the ones that sold out to the mainstream, use to success, like the gurus of Mindvalley…

They go for the hungry crowd, and rake it in… I mean the money…

Millions of people search for the stuff these gurus sell… none of it works, because the stuff they teach isn’t true, therefore it can’t work. And, or course, millions of people are ALWAYS wrong. If it appeals to millions then it’s crap… Because that is what appeals to the majority that is always wrong…
