Choosing, choosing what is — updated with a live recording

You’ll need beginner’s mind for this…

Some mornings I have nothing to say. I am likely running on empty.

Two reasons, two causes, two energy leaks:

  • 1. reading something that has no substance to fill me up 1 and
  • 2. talking to someone whose echo empties me… like a black hole.

Don’t Teach a Pig To Sing; It Wastes Your Time and Annoys the Pig

Some people will learn… and others, won’t, but will be sure. Cocksure 2

Everyone I know feels smart, or at the minimum smarter than the next person.

But does the quality of your life depend on how smart you feel?

The fallacy that has somehow replaced looking at how much people see accurately, what they do, what results they produce in the world, with how they feel about themselves.

When you look at the world, your world, the world at large, you mostly see what you recognize (rightly or wrongly, from the past), and maybe, occasionally, you are forced to notice stuff that you don’t recognize. Rarely. Continue reading “Don’t Teach a Pig To Sing; It Wastes Your Time and Annoys the Pig”

Brain Plasticity…

The brain that changes itself is a book I read in 2011… About the brain… the brain that you need to train if you want to become more, better or different.

Why have I been thinking about brain plasticity/neuroplasticity? Continue reading “What do you see with? Your eyes? NO. Even though…”

The price of comfort is weakness, cowardice, putz

The price of comfort is weakness, cowardice, putz

Where did this humanity-wide phenomenon of being so weak… living like a putz come from?

Putz: putz
noun
1. a stupid or worthless person.
2. vulgar slang: a limp dick.
verb: putz; engage in inconsequential or unproductive activity.
origin: 1960s: Yiddish, literally ‘penis.’

I meant to share student essays on how self-created rules keep them alienated from themselves, keep them playing safe and dead… not joyful, not accomplished, not living a life worth living.

Then I changed my mind.

I had two calls, where I was training, each, a person to take on a practice to activate the capacity to be with unpleasant, bothersome, disturbing feelings and actions. To be a MAN…

This capacity used to be active in humans… but because of the widespread positive thinking and comfort: society now deems these situations, these feelings, these actions undesirable.

What results can you expect from a low truth value course?

What results can you expect from a low truth value course?

I have been intensely curious why something with a 7~10% truth value would make a difference for people who read it, study it, practice it, and apply it to their lives.

Ultimately we are talking about 90-93% untruth… and yet. People report results… in the testimonials. Continue reading “What results can you expect from a low truth value course?”

Fulfillment… career, family, health, happiness

Fulfillment… career, family, health, happiness

Finding a fulfilling career can sometimes feel impossible. … according to Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio. If you are one of the people who is complaining that you don’t know how to get that… here is the first step is clearly setting your goals.

Your choice of goals will determine your direction,

‘There is always a best possible path. Your job is to find it and have the courage to follow it,’

He doesn’t say it, because he doesn’t know… but the number of people who simply want a happy fulfilling life without investing none of their time, none of their efforts in it is staggering.

If your desire number is higher than your ambition number, you are, for the time being, sh*t out of luck. Continue reading “Fulfillment… career, family, health, happiness”

The Bulletproof Diet or Wildfit work?

Normally either someone uses these expensive and generic programs or opt to use my individual muscletested diet for themselves. But it seems I got lucky, and one client first started to do the Bulletproof Diet… and then came to me for his individual food list and eating type.

The client got their Starting Point Measurements, that include their hydration and their health number.

His health was rated at 10%. He ate a vegan diet, which means no animal foods, not even eggs, or milk.

When he shifted to the Bulletproof Diet his health number jumped to 20%.

Encouraged, he asked for a full health consult… That was a few days ago… and now his health number is 30%. The new rise is partially still due to the Bulletproof Diet, and partially the new food list/eating style.

What is the difference between his standard Bulletproof Diet and his individual diet?

Get rid of the memes… all of them are lies…

Get rid of the memes… all of them are lies…

One of the most important principles in the 67 steps program is to get rid of a ‘truth’ as often as you can.

No one hears that they should do that. No one does it. Why?

The mind says: ‘why should I get rid of a piece of useful knowledge.Continue reading “Get rid of the memes… all of them are lies…”

Boys don’t know how to be boys. They won’t be men

Boys don’t know how to be boys. They won’t be men

“If you want to emasculate a guy friend, when you’re at a restaurant, ask him everything that he’s going to order, and then when the waitress comes … order for him.” It’s funny because it shouldn’t be that easy to rob a man of his masculinity — but it is.

I am doing good work with the participants of my accountability program. 3

One of the things that have been coming up is this: what did it do to you to be influenced more by your mother than your father?

Don’t be mistaken: man and woman, boy and girl, father and mother are different beings… almost as different as if they were two different species. And it should be.

Now, I admit that our “civilized” world makes the two roles more similar looking, but just like in eating, what works best for you is eating according to your DNA, the same is true about gender behavior. Continue reading “Boys don’t know how to be boys. They won’t be men”

What happens if you are a habitual liar, a con artist?

What happens if you are a habitual liar, a con artist?

If you are awake at all, you have noticed that people, both in writing and in actual speak, avoid the word lie.

Even when the word they replace it with means something totally different. They say: I lay down… instead of I lie down.

Why is that?

Because the word lie also means: say untrue things. Continue reading “What happens if you are a habitual liar, a con artist?”
