Was it always so? No.

I have a theory that humanity cycles through phases of being… beingness… that are, maybe the same as the book ‘Pendulum‘ teaches. The book says that the beingness humanity cycles through is the degree to which it is about ‘me’ or it is about ‘us’. Continue reading “Humanity has a tendency to use shortcuts to get there faster”

I am reading many books, many articles.

They all say that my life could be better, would be better if I just looked at the bright side of things.

But that… looking at only the bright side of things, actually leads to a boring, inauthentic life.

What makes good good is the contrast… No bad? Not looking at it? there suddenly isn’t good either… only boring, dull, dead. And you can’t sleep… Continue reading “You don’t like me? Want only positive guidance?”

By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice/culture, they get to be wide apart. ~ Confucius

or by another great Chinese philosopher, Mengzi:

…if the people ‘are full of food, have warm clothes, and live in comfort but are without instruction, then they come close to being animals‘

Can you, do you ever contemplate what is the measure you could change? Change so you can be a high achiever, a high earner, a popular person, or even just healthier? Continue reading “By nature, men are nearly alike ~ Confucius”

You are Stuck…

Stuck without a solution, stuck in a tight spot, stuck in a relationship, stuck with an irrevocable promise, stuck in a job, stuck behind… Stuck. And stuck is stuck.

This is the landscape of our life. NORMAL.

Whether we verbalize it or not, we feel stuck. life seems to work against us, and we feel we are a poor match to deal with what we need to deal with. Continue reading “Why those successful people became successful and not you?”

Coming Out Of Grief – The Process And the Problem

Podcast: Play in new window | Download

This article deals with the stages of healing, healing your grief. Denial, anger, fear, and so on.

The most important distinction I can add is: check your cone of vision. If your cone of vision is narrow, everything is colored or filled with your grief: the context of life becomes your grief, independent of the content of life.

The most exciting thing is the first sip of tea. and the only exciting thing is the same. The sip of tea.

One of those mornings was today. Continue reading “Why you may be tired, maybe depressed, maybe just listless”

It has taken me 60 years to become ready to do what I do, and although most things are not as complicated and demanding as returning humanity to the Original Design, most things require you to know how to do quite a few things. Continue reading “Why do you want to know your soul’s purpose?”

Every Tuesday my driver picks me up and takes me shopping, to the chiropractor, and other errands.

It makes me look like an old lady, but that doesn’t make me an old lady. Yet it took me quite a while to warm up to the idea of having no wheels of my own.

I pay her $30 cash, and I didn’t have any cash yesterday. So I paid with my debit card and asked for $40 cash back. I normally use the self-checkout line, faster for me. Continue reading “Pick your battles… And win the war of life”
