Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
You can learn nearly anything on the internet if you know how to learn.
And yet, if you look, people don’t learn much, don’t do much, and the momentary excitement, the big promises die almost as fast as they were born, leaving the promiser frustrated, and puzzled why they can’t keep their word, and actually do what they said they would do.

The culture of Approximately
It’s taken millions, maybe even billions of years to evolve into a species that is 99% corrupted into believing that to get something it is enough to wish to.
For me this was invisible for a long time…
The first glimpse I got was when I first heard about satsang… a group of devotees sitting around a dude or dudette and attempt to absorb their whatever… vibration, peace, knowledge… all things that you cannot fully absorb, because they need to be worked for.
My parents weren’t wearing those distorting glasses. 1 Continue reading “Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You’ve Got…”
Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach… Build on your strengths
One of the happiest turn in my life was when I fully turned away from architecture.
I started architecture school in 1966. I, unknowingly, chose that profession, because my mother wanted to be an architect, but could not, because of the Jewish Laws that came in in 1938, limiting the number of Jewish students at universities.
I didn’t know that I was an empath and I felt my mother’s feelings instead of my own… and she felt strong desire towards architecture. Continue reading “Your eyes are bigger than your stomach…”
The counter-intuitive path to happiness
Most people won’t adhere to a diet that would make them healthy.
Stupidity? Yes, stupidity on a very deep selfish gene level.
The selfish gene is not interested in you being happy, fulfilled, feeling connected, or even healthy.
If you have been eating crap, and still can copulate, the selfish gene says: OK, he is alive, he can procreate, good. Let’s continue with the program.
Some cultures call this the ego, but there is a basic and fundamental difference between these two: the ego does have energy, forceful and strong, that is pulling upwards… In the Tumbleweed article, Ego, the triangle sitting on its side is stronger than the “spirit” that is standing on its point, yet you need the strength of the “ego” triangle to get anywhere…
I even teach somewhere how to whisper to the ego to help you overcome the pull of the Selfish Gene that wants you to continue what keeps you miserable, small, and limited to a survival machine.
It’s that they make choices that the genes are making: not making waves, not bringing attention to themselves, not being different, fitting in is more important than being healthy, having energy, feeling good, calm, being intelligent.
Almost everything “social” is gene directed. I say “almost” because I am humble. I don’t know any social that is NOT gene directed, but there could be, maybe.

What is the difference between people who make a lot of money, and people who don’t,I watched a video on which a dude played the same exact tunes on three different violins.
The link to the video was on Digg, and the editor said that they, in Digg’s office, didn’t hear much difference.
I did. One violin’s sound brought tears to my eyes… it was so incredibly resonant, and beautiful. 2
What’s missing for you to escape the human condition of the horizontal plane?No matter who you are, no matter how high is your vibration, one thing is certain about you: you bring a skewing, slanted, distorting view to life, to every question you ask, to every answer you get.
I just caught myself… and I’ll share it with you… even though it is quite terrifying to get naked with you. Continue reading “Integrity, integration, creating or embracing?”
This attitude, or worldview that you can create a life you love, is the same exact worldview that prevents you from being happy.
33 trillion webpages talk about that.
But the truth is that you have no authority to change anything in life outside of yourself… but even if you could, even if you do, unless YOU change, your life will remain the same, even if the circumstances changed, because you haver remained the same. You can get the girl out of the gutter, but you can’t get the gutter out of the girl… goes the saying, and, unfortunately, that is how it goes. Continue reading “What does it mean “create a life you love”?”
More books are sold on happiness than maybe even on dieting… especially because 98% diet books’ hidden attraction is happiness.
Weird, eh? Continue reading “The tyranny of the pursuit of happiness. What you pursue…”
The first one you probably don’t know very well: this is the complaint that intends to move all concerned towards resolution. There is a commitment in the background to resolve the complaint, and remove it from existence.
I’ll talk more about it later, but for completion’s sake…
…let’s see the second kind of complaint. I call it idle complaint. Continue reading “There are two kinds of complaints.”
There are two opposing ways of being that individually each is out of step with Life… unless they join forces… The tumbleweedMy Playground course is designed to bring the participants back to pre organized-religion times, where being in sync, being in harmony, being in step with Life is natural and not a sin.
But it is a B-i-t-c-h to teach.
Why? Because “The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.” Continue reading “The tumbleweed or the invisible dynamic of a life worth living”
