What does it mean: get out of your own way?

What does it mean: get out of your own way?

I am noticing a phenomenon that is both interesting and terrifying:

When people include themselves in their cone of vision, in their visual field when they need to answer a question, give a view of something, they literally become stupid. Moronic. Continue reading “What does it mean: get out of your own way?”

What does a Hungarian joke have to do with your life script?

What does a Hungarian joke have to do with your life script?
Teacher: list five African animals
Morris: two tigers and three elephants

There are a few jokes that I brought with myself from Hungary… that describe the human condition very well.

One of them is an elementary school joke:

Morris is asked to say the multiplication table… with 8.

He starts to chant… lalala-lala lalala… lalala lala lalala…

What is this? Asks the stunned teacher? Oh, I remember the tune, but can’t recall the words… answers Morris.

Several of my students, maybe all, got stuck in an early childhood age, resulting from a decision to fix a traumatic incident. Continue reading “What does a Hungarian joke have to do with your life script?”

Deception abounds in all areas of life… not just politics, not just fake news…

Deception abounds in all areas of life… not just politics, not just fake news…
The number of doctor-driven sales videos of scientifically put together herbs and components is proliferating in my email box.

I have spent some time, actually many hours, to listen to these sales videos, and diligently muscletested what is true about them and what is lie about them.

This is what I’ve found:

The scientific/experiential basis of these ‘remedies’ is relatively sound. The average truth value, in this aspect, is 30%, with some as high as 70%, and some as low as 10%. The scientific base… not their product!!! Please read that again. Thank you. Continue reading “Deception abounds in all areas of life… not just politics, not just fake news…”

Will you breeze through or will you die from the virus… if you get it?

Will you breeze through or will you die from the virus… if you get it?

My only friend who doesn’t keep to staying home, and still does errands for me and for other old people like me, just picked up a package from me to take it to the UPS store for me.

She was crying… everyone is on her case… including her daughter. I was on her case even yesterday.

Today I was grateful to her for being a rebel… rebelling against mandatory behavior modification… so much that it made even me think and start doing alternative thinking.

I admit, I have been behaving like the six million Jews (among them 34 of my family) who allowed themselves to be herded into cattle carts and into gas chambers…

Oy. Continue reading “Will you breeze through or will you die from the virus… if you get it?”

What if you’ve been wrong? What if I have been wrong? Get a different view…

What if you’ve been wrong? What if I have been wrong? Get a different view…

My downstairs neighbor is a healthcare worker, a private company making housecalls to old folks who can’t take care of themselves, but insist on living at home, instead of institutions.

About 10 days ago she suddenly started not going to work, and being really fearful… unfortunately as an empath I have to suffer through that with her.

One day she had some fever and stayed in bed… nothing since then. She is in good mood most of the day.

I have been asking Source to tell me who has the virus and who doesn’t, and Source has been inconsistent with that: that is a clear indication:

Source is saying: this is a stupid question… huh?

So I have been getting intensely curious… Continue reading “What if you’ve been wrong? What if I have been wrong? Get a different view…”

Truth believed is a lie… or how YOU block the flow

Truth believed is a lie… or how YOU block the flow

One of the important elements of doing the 67 steps with me is the first thing you need to pay attention in each step: what is the principle/principles in the step… and spell it out for me.

Most people will see principles where there are none. And then they send it to me.

But truth believed is a lie.

Only principles that have stood the test of time, time-tested, life-tested principles…

Unless you can see in your life that it is indeed so, you are repeating something that sounds true, but when you say it it is a lie.

Let’s look at Warren Buffet’s #1 principle: Don’t lose money.

How can you test that? Continue reading “Truth believed is a lie… or how YOU block the flow”

You got bigger problems than I can solve, and you best move on

You got bigger problems than I can solve, and you best move on

My estimate is that this global epidemic came just at the right time to show you that you have been swimming naked.

About 99% of humanity.

My students are not exceptions to this. The only difference, as far as I can see, is they took heed from me… on a Talk to me webinar a week ago, and some of them at least are using this time to double up on becoming worth a damn and be able to become more in spite of the trouble the world is in. Thank you for that, guys.

You have no skills, you are depending on bosses, depending on someone else provide you with a livelihood. Continue reading “You got bigger problems than I can solve, and you best move on”

The role of the size of your visual field in life

The role of the size of your visual field in life
tunnel visionTunnel Vision

One of the barriers to a successful life is your tendency to look at the world with a tightly narrowed cone of vision.

You only see a tiny sliver of what-is, and you make your decisions from that.

It’s like doing grocery shopping in a pitch dark grocery store you are not familiar with, having access only to a pen-light… you would have to look at everything and it would take you hours what would only take me minutes.

But worse than that: what you actually see at the light of the pen-light, you now drag it into your man-cave… your mind, and start chewing on it… or denying it… either way: You stopped looking. Continue reading “The role of the size of your visual field in life”

Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…

Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…

Why is it that most people, you,  who believe in the Law of Attraction actually practice how to repel people and repel what you want?

99% of all people believe in the law of attraction… or some version of it…

People write to me all the time, asking me for something. They want something for nothing. Obviously they are adherents of the Law of Attraction: the law seems to be saying to the: you can attract to yourself things you want by just wanting them. Ask and it is given… or something of that sort. Or if you really desire it… blah blah blah.

I have a few secrets for you: the world doesn’t operate that way. In fact, the world operates closer to what Charlie Munger says: If you want to get what you want, you need to deserve what you want. Continue reading “Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…”

Your direction is more important than your speed…

Your direction is more important than your speed…
Direction is more important that speed. You may be going nowhere fast!
Direction is more important that speed. You may be going nowhere fast!

…In everything.

There is a very educational tale in the 67 steps that few consider life altering. I do.

An airplane makes an emergency landing in the jungle. The plane carried a group of engineers to a meeting.

The engineers developed a superior way to cut the branches and trees at a precise 45 degrees, and they were cutting a path with good speed.

A non-engineer passenger, in the meantime, climbed a tall tree and looked around He saw habitation from there… the path cut by the efficient engineers ran in the wrong direction… Continue reading “Your direction is more important than your speed…”
