FaceResearch.org has published the results of a recent experiment where experimental psychologists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have combined the faces of men and women around to world to approximate the “average face” of each country. Using a modern version of the technique that Sir Francis Galton pioneered in the 1800—²s, multiple images of faces are aligned and composited together to form the final result.

Why I refuse to teach a course on Abundance?
As you know, it’s taken me two years to become willing to create the More Money Workshop.
I know, you expected an Abundance course… but you see, your concept of abundance is flawed. Your concept of abundance is corrupted.
Why and how your concepts of life, including abundance got corrupted?
By religion first, and then by gurus who piggyback on your already corrupted worldview.
What is religion?
Religion is a worldview in which you are policed by entities that decide your fate, and all you can do is to try to please them so they help you, instead of killing you.
Religion is reduces you to an effect, who has very little to say about their fate.

More Money Workshop Part 7: God doesn’t have a thumb, you do
Here is an inspiring story. I found it on facebook, and edited it: I cut out god and Jesus and all the superstition that makes it a story to dumb you down.
Here is the story. Be prepared to be moved.
YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
‘Good morning’ said a woman as she walked up to the man sitting on the ground.
The man slowly looked up.
This was a woman clearly used to the finer things of life. Her coat was new. She looked like she had never missed a meal in her life.
His first thought was that she wanted to make fun of him, like so many others had done before. ‘Leave me alone,’ he growled…
To his amazement, the woman continued standing.

Money Course Part 6: The biggest hindrance for your well-being, including your financial well-being
What is the biggest hindrance for your well-being, including your financial well-being?
And under well-being I include health, emotional health, relationship health, your whole existence.
I bet you can’t even imagine being well.
I remember when I tried, years ago, all I could see is running on a field and the wind blowing in my hair.
So, going towards well-being is not easy, because well-being is an experience that is empty. To the degree it is empty, to the same degree you are well.
Let me explain: wouldn’t you say that financial well-being would be and experience where nothing is missing, nothing is lacking?

More money Part 4: your relationship to money
What is your relationship to money?
For the most part, your relationship to money, your attitude about money, is the same or similar, as your attitude about life. It is either powerful or it isn’t… and of course everything in between.
Raising the quality of your relationship to money is the exact same thing as raising your vibration. The moves are exactly the same. The higher vibration relationship will effect your money, your personal relationships, your success in any area of life, your health, and your experience of life: your level of fulfillment, purpose, joy, and happiness.
Of course, your understanding of what I just said is on the level of your current vibration… you want more stuff… right? You’ll see what it really means as you raise (increase) your vibration by climbing the Tree of Life, from branch to branch to branch, to as high as you can manage in this lifetime.

Money… grow it… Part 2… Take an Inventory
Most people start pretty much anything with the idea of what they want. That is the starting point, that is also, most of the time, the context.
But it is a default context, not empowering.
- Empowering: gives you the power to be your best.
- Not empowering: doesn’t effect your state of power.
- Disempowering: Takes away your power to act well.
I said it this way in another article a year ago:
disempower is the opposite of empower. Empower means: allow and suggest that they have the power. Provide them with what they need to have the power.
Disempower is taking away what you already have.What people consider as negative self-talk or negativity is in essence disempowering talk. You have the power, innately, to do the things that your heart says you can do.
You are never given a desire that you are not equipped to fulfill… so in essence, if you don’t fulfill on your desires, it means that either your self-talk or the talk of another disempowered you: you allowed some talk to convince you that you can’t and that you should not even go for it.
Of course, in the past year I have had a lot of insights that make the LANGUAGE of that article lying, but the fact remains: words cause beingness. Self-talk causes beingness… except when it is forced on the top of some fundamental self-talk that is largely unconscious.
If you are the alpha and the omega of things, if everything is about you, then you are going to be wretched. Or if you already are, you are going to stay that way.
The job is to get out of the default context and into something more empowering.
I looked at what the context inside which I have done what I have done the past two months, and I found this: “I want to do what I want to do, and I want to continue doing what I want to do, whatever that is… without interruption. Without having to do anything for it.”
And, obviously, my starting point to increasing revenues is the same… I just want to do…

Money: how to make more of it, how to keep more of it… a series. Part 1.
Money is tight, and has been for the past six weeks. Why? I don’t know.
As my habit, if I don’t know something… I start experimenting, examining different avenues that promise to get one to a desired outcome… in this case a steady income.
I am going to adhere to certain rules
Rule #1: the goals need to be realistic: i.e. based in reality, not a pipe-dream. This means, taking into consideration all and all sorts of limitations… instead of what YOU normally do, ignore them.
Rule #2: I will keep in mind short term and long term goals, at the same time. Ignoring this rule is detrimental to your life, not just to your success.
I will examine all teachings, some I will test, some I will meditate over.
I’ll start with what I have already tested, if you don’t mind.
Greasing the chute… i.e. making money move.

Why aren’t your affirmations make money appear for you?
Can you change by changing what you say?
Back in 1987 I took a course about money. I had been poor, just a tad poorer than most of my life.
I remember working in New York City as an architect for hire, freezing my ears off… the weather always felt worse in the wind-tunnels of the New York City streets.
My two big investments were ear muffs and boots. It was more important than food: you can be hungry and alive… these were mostly my two choices: full or alive. Continue reading “Why aren’t your affirmations make money appear for you?”
How a small donation of $3 got me unstuck
When money is tight, when I count every penny to make it to the next rent check, I always do something illogical, something that doesn’t make sense, but it works, and it works in spades.
I give a donation. Not big, just a little bit.
Make energy move. Money is energy
I have been doing this for about 10 years not, and every time the results are instantaneous, I get freed up, I breathe better, and I start to see opportunities where I was stuck just minutes earlier.
