Even the first follower can be in big trouble…
We think it’s courage that a pioneer needs, but I dare to differ. It is more like “I can take arrows front and back for something that is important to me”.
The core of it is the “something that is important to me”. That is the biggest lacking, because that is the seed of what looks like courage, or what looks like a “devil cares” attitude.

Do you ever wonder how life would have turned out, had you made different decisions? Different choices?
The other day I didn’t feel like working at all… so I watched two movies in a row.
Both were interesting, but the one… about choices, made a deep imprint on me, and made me look at this issue: choices.

I find myself weeping, gripped with remorse… remorse the injustice 30,000 years ago… Remorse for the loss of brilliance, the loss of future that could have been.
Watch the documentary in the end, if you have time.
If you can weep, you have empathy. If you can’t… oh well…

Humans, this cunning species, want to know everything to be secure and superiorAll the animals, all the plants on the planet are “fitting in with the system” we call Life.
Humans, on the other hand want to “beat the system” we call Life.
We’ve been doing it for a long time… for about 30 thousand years.

Where are you going to find the character flaws that you need to correct? Can you learn soul correction from a book? Cheap Closure Now…
Wow, I wrote this article three years ago. Not much has changed outside of me, but inside… it is a whole new world.
One big change, though: I now prefer to call these “character flaws” pretenses… but both phrases are accurate, just the mood is different. Pick the one you prefer… pick the one that mortifies you more… lol…
Because, after all, all growth happens in and with friction… Nothing happens when nothing hurts, nothing makes you sad, frustrated, angry, and this is why humanity hasn’t grown… in fact, humanity is growing backwards…

Humans have been living on their periphery, through their organs of perception that look outward, through their periphery, the life that we call the horizontal plane.
On the horizontal plane what you see is the other. You don’t see yourself. You may feel your body, you may feel your feelings, but you don’t see yourself.
You see your effect on others. You see the other, that may be a reflection of you… if you can recognize it as such.

If you had my life, I bet you would find it boring. I don’t have a television, I don’t read the newspaper, I don’t browse the web, I don’t go to teleseminars, I don’t chat with friends… except two.
I don’t do sports, I don’t go shopping, I don’t have dreams and aspirations, I don’t eat out, I don’t worry about my weight, about my health, about my neighbors.

One of the biggest challenges for me on the path is to stay in the middle. Neither left nor right…
Some of you do the work: you know who you are.
The most frequent issue that comes through to me in email is trying to understand.
But there is an issue with that.
The Thinking Man, i.e. the Man of the Mind, thinks about it, tries to understand.

The first part of the 1900’s was when all the nonsense about the power of the mind, think and grow rich, the science of getting rich, and such were born.
Some is more nonsense than others.
There is some truth in The Science of Getting rich, about 10%, while most others scrape the barrel at 1~2% truth value.
Then there is a unique book, that is although could be seen as b.s. it might just be a significant tool at awakening the consciousness within… and that book is The Magic Story.
