Become all you can become by raising yourself higher on the Tree of Life

Happiness is simple, attainable, but not easy

I first experienced this when I was an architect in Israel.

I had a commission to design a two-family home. The relationship between the clients and myself became strained as soon as I was ready with the design: immediately they showed me who is the boss… they knew everything about designing, and building, and everything, without ever having to go to school for it.

Eventually I left architecture, because I thought that it was the only area where people considered themselves an expert regardless of their knowledge, experience, or licensing.

Turns out that this is the direction the world is going: fancying oneself expert without work

When, occasionally, I visit a website where people talk about their dreams and aspirations, like Mary Morrissey’s dream launch page, I see that every Mary, Tom and Harry wants to be a healer, a nutritional counselor, a coach.

Change your brain… and you can change your life

It seems it is video-day here in my house… today. Mind you, I am not quite doing it for entertainment, I am looking for some solution.

In my coaching calls and even watching, observing myself, I have realized that some foundational skills are missing. They are the kind of foundation without which you simply can’t have what you want, you can’t feel better about yourself, and you can’t accomplish much of anything worth writing home about.

So I have to either find a way or make one, to teach you the missing skills.

In this case I’d prefer to find a way, after all if someone is already teaching it, why invent the wheel.

One of the videos I found is a TEDx talk by Barbara Arrowsmith-Young, the founder of the brain plasticity based brain training center.

How many shades of gray can you tell apart?

The tribes that live near the North Pole have lots of words for snow. Syracuse people have one: snooow… that is pronounced with a guttural growl.

Tailors of suits can tell the type of black fabric they are looking at, though, for most people black is black.

A Sherlock Holmes can tell, from a little bit of ash, what kind of cigarette a person smoked.

But us, mere unconscious mortals, have a difficult time telling things apart, telling hype from helpful suggestion, truth from fantasy, belief from fact.

I got an email today from a one-time teacher of mine, so I checked out Mary Morrissey (personal vibration: 200, truth value of her teaching: 250… that is to say 7% is true, 93% is made up, b.s., misleading, misinformation, crap)

I watched three videos, almost two hours total.

The secret of doing something important to me…

This article was written by a guy in Switzerland. Different culture, different cultural conversations… he lives by a method of growing himself and his business counter-culturally if you look at it from the USA, especially if you live in California. And, of course, if you live in Canada.

What is the cultural conversation that he defies? That you are supposed to know it. That you are supposed to leap tall buildings, and there is no need to practice, there is no need to learn anything, you should just know.

I could have written this article, because my story is similar.

Enjoy.

Frank William Abagnale, Jr

Frank William Abagnale, Jr.: Maybe the only living thief today who has had nearly as much success post his life of crime as he did while on the run. While he didn’t steal any priceless works of art, Frank used his cunningness to scam millions of dollars from banks through check fraud across 26 countries in a period of only five years starting at the tender age of 16. While other kids were working a paper route, Frank was jet setting across the Atlantic taking on the false identities of successful doctors and lawyers. After his FBI bust, Frank took up the honest profession of running a financial fraud consulting biz. Not all his glory was lost however; he guy still got Steven Spielberg to make a movie about him.

Want to get smarter? Mindfulness meditation to the rescue

One of the most desired abilities people want to increase is intelligence.

They search high and low for an outside-method to do so… binaural beats, or any method that deals with the mind… after all the mind is the organ of smarts, right?

Wrong. The mind, in fact, has nothing to do with smarts.

in fact, most of you would benefit from reducing the mind’s relevance in your perception, and thus reclaim a lot of the processing power you already have.

As long as most of your attention and processing power goes into following the mind or fighting the mind and the emotions, you are going to have trouble to be very intelligent, astute, and it will effect your performance in every area of life where being present and operating with a full deck is important.

Updated: Vibrational Reviews: Dr. Darren Weissman, David Sereda and others

Update: I got an email today to promote Panache Desai. He is touted as Contemporary thought leader, giving away his $297 audio program, “Accelerate Your Awakening.” His vibration is still ~~200~~ 170 in 2023, which is an accomplishment: most teachers’ vibration is dropping. Do I recommend him? No. But if you like him… it is ultimately your choice.

On this picture is Oprah smiling. Is Oprah a happy person? Is she a high vibration person? Let’s measure her vibration… shall we? Oprah’s vibration, today is 150… indication that she is not happy, she has no peace of mind… go figure. All the spiritual teachers she invites and buddy-buddies… It should tell you something.

Dr. Darren Weissman DC personal vibration: ~~170~~ updated: 100, (impatience, intolerance, anger, all feelings in the center, from the chest bone to the throat). Truth value of his ‘theory’: 0% My question is: is every chiropractor trained to be a professional shyster? Muscletest says ‘yes’.

Dr. David Sereda personal vibration: ~~180~~ updated in 2023: 100. Truth value of what he teaches: 0%

Old Vibrational Readings copied from comments:

Jim Self – Mastering alchemy: personal vibration: 170 (riddled with horrible anxiety); teachings: 150. All learned, Tree of Knowledge stuff…
Panache Desai – Vibrational Catalyst; personal vibration: 200; teachings: 170

What is the work? Here is a detailed case study…

The sentence I hear only occasionally, is ‘But what is the work?’

It is not because it is not a question that concerns many, it is because you are trained to know the answer, or at least pretend that you do.

I didn’t realize this until yesterday. I did not connect the dots… I didn’t see the forest for the trees. Continue reading “What is the work? Here is a detailed case study…”

The secret method to instantly change life

Context is like meaning… it is not part of what it is referring to, it is added to it, by a human. And if it is added, then you have a lot of freedom about it: if you can see, that is.

Most people can’t see the forest for the trees… so if you are like that, you won’t see context, until you look deeper. Beyond the obvious. Beyond your automatic. Beyond your machine-like, conditioned, pre-determined ways.

Why context is decisive, and what it decides if it is so decisive

I have been repeating and repeating this idea, that context is decisive. Finally, yesterday, I managed to get it through, or so it seemed, on the Playground.

Context is the hidden part of everything, the hidden agenda. Everyone has hidden agendas, some more than others, some time more than other times.

New topic: how to be able to have sex till you die

It’s Tuesday, my “errand” day. I found myself in a great mood today. In fact I’ve been in a great mood for a few days now. Maybe because I am sleeping better since I changed my diet.

Either way, I was observing a guy standing around in a product isle, just looking at stuff. I joked around, and we started to talk.

Turns out that he is Slovakian, and his mother cooked Hungarian… great topic, by the way. You want to talk to someone: food is a good topic… lol.

Emboldened by the conversation I asked if he eats breakfast. “No, no time,” he said. “That’s why you have this big belly” I pointed at the barrel size midsection of this guy. Yeah, he said. “My mother says that I should chase after young women” he said laughing, but if I catch them… and he made a face I could not misunderstand.
