Rose Colored Glasses, Hope, and other stuff that take you out of the present moment

Hope-2-570x379The purveyors of hope

When “picking” a state of being, an attitude, a mindset, conventional wisdom can be detrimental to our well-being.

Unless you are a prisoner in a concentration camp, and what’s predictable is that you will not make it out alive, hope is a very bad-for-you state to pick. But even there, unless it gives you actions that keep you alive longer, that make you take care of yourself, hope as a being, hopeful is the right word, will be just a feeling… and you know how it is with feelings: they come and go at their own accord: you can’t control feelings. Hope and hopeless are the two sides of the same coin. Being doesn’t have a flip side. Continue reading “Rose Colored Glasses, Hope, and other stuff that take you out of the present moment”

Double your reading speed… would that be really good for you?

hurry to get to the endOne famous marketer is filling my mail box with emails to double the speed of my reading. I used to jump on offers like that, I have taken three different speed reading classes, one even back in Hungary.

It seemed to me, like it probably seems to you, that getting the knowledge out of the written word faster would double your knowledge, and maybe double your success.

It makes sense, doesn’t it?

Is Being Skeptical a good thing?

I don't believe a word you say! I am skepticalBeing skeptical is a fixed way of being in the world, an attitude. Skeptical is the other side of belief.

On the surface it looks like it’s a good thing, after all belief is suspending your own thinking capacities, and taking blindly what someone gives up. So the opposite must be good, right? Wrong.

Soul Correction #39: Diamond in The Rough

soul correction diamond in the roughA diamonds in the rough looks like a piece of rock. If you don’t expect it, you will treat it as a rock. Or a shard of glass

But if you are willing to go beyond the surface, you will be rich. Few people ever do that. Not with themselves, not with others, not with anything in the world.

Their shallow view of the world makes their life shallow, and they will go for every glitter, every shiny object. Because they are unwilling to go beyond the top layer, the visible layer.

The story of your life… told the same way or differently

The story of your life… told the same way or differently

One of my greatest revelations about transformational methods was in the Wisdom Course, a year long Landmark Education program.

It was a method of telling the story of your life.

You can tell the story of your life in a lot of ways.

    • from abuse to abuse
    • from success to success
    • from the point of view of what school you went to

So I am reading ‘Creating A Bug Free Mind’

lost-bewildered-confused-unclearThe package, big like a tomb stone, arrived this week. I wish they had it on Kindle… but I guess they want to control every step of the sales process. Hm. Interesting. It tells me everything I ever wanted to know about Andy and his team… NOT customer centric. All about themselves. All about money.

Andy’s vibration is 130… even thought the truth value of the book is 10%.

The package is two books, both big and thick. The first: Creating a bug free mind, and the second: using a bug free mind. Ultimately the idea of this two step process that made me use Andy Shaw’s book as an experiment: everyone stops at teaching, no one seems to continue into the troubles of actually teaching you how to use, and guiding you in using what they taught. 1

Turn your face to the light… avoid the darkness, avoid the shadow

Keep-your-face-to-the-sun-and-you-will-never-see-the-shadows.-Helen-KellerI didn’t put this quote first, because I agree with it. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. All the light that is coming to you is lurking in the shadow, just waiting for you to find it… but, human nature, knee jerk reactions rob you of your birth right… And you end up living an empty life with no light… Ooops… This is what this article is designed to remedy.

Thank you for your concern all of you that were too afraid to send me an email, a message, good energies, your good wishes.

Step by tiny step: raise your consciousness

Step by tiny step: raise your consciousness

Step by tiny step: raise your consciousness to raise your vibration… the connection is revealed in this article

What needs to change for vibration to rise? Can an energy raise your vibration? Can changing your beliefs change your vibration?

Like with everything, things are best measured when you are at your worst, including your vibration. When the s-h-i-t hits the fan. When someone pushes your buttons. When all your dreams come tumbling down.

Why? Because the rest of the time you are just la-di-da… no challenge. You fancy yourself safe, successful, high vibration, but it all proves to be a pretense when the going gets tough.

Of course, your dramatic mind can make every action feel like the crucial action that your mind depends on… running late, clicking the wrong button, the computer malfunctioning, forgetting something…

Drama… your story… did it happen?

storm-drama-rain

What do I call drama?

Every negative, uncomfortable, unpleasant feeling that you feel, experience, indicates drama. A story played out inside you. While you are involved in that drama you are not involved in life, you are taking an entertainment break: your relationships, your health, your work will suffer as a result.

Some of us are even addicted to that drama: for all I know it creates a sense of aliveness for the morbid, especially for people whose life is otherwise empty, void of purpose.
