The all-or-nothing attitude (Gentian). The ‘I will always/I will never’ attitude.We have been working with the machine. The machine we all live in. It is alive… and yet it’s a machine.
This, the self-sabotaging Gentian attitude is the most frequent move of the machine. Continue reading “Dynamics of self-sabotage: I will always I will never”

My soul correction (Forget Thyself) is hasty. Jumping in, and making mistakes, getting in a mess, scrambling to get out.
Nowadays that we are hunting for the should shouldn’t spouting little voice, I am forced to realize that for me it is not words… it is a push. Or is it a pull?
I am also seeing that many of may I hate that come from that push
So let’s hunt for some hates… and let’s see if this is personal to me, or across the field. Please, I will need your feedback.
There are a few things I can’t tolerate, would not tolerate. Continue reading “How you can go from being a rough diamond to finely cut gem”

I overslept this morning. Whenever you oversleep, or allow comfort to set in, something sinister happens in the invisible.
Your brain takes your behavior as an instruction that you want to practice for death.
You could call it hibernation, but it is only hibernation if that is what you meant to do. Otherwise it is the state where there is no future.
The first signs are hopelessness. There is no hope. There is no future. Just blah. Continue reading “Have the ‘why bother?’ attitude? A Big C symptom”

How do you think of yourself less?What does that mean? Thinking of others? By becoming a do-gooder?
OK, I am going to clarify something. Something that myself don’t quite know how it works, and why it works that way.
So it may come out incomprehensible, botched up, and useless. But, in my view, it is worth to try…
Note: if you only read one example, make it #5!
OK, the issue: one of the measurements is to what degree your life is about you and your life… the words I use I borrowed from someone else… True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. and the words are ‘to what degree you think of yourself’… as a measure of humility i.e. how much room you have to learn and grow, how much room you have for the world, for work, for life… for others.

Every learning is becoming. Every action that is aimed at learning but doesn’t lead to becoming… is not learning, it is just a pretense. Treading water. The drift.
Why? because some of the learning requires you to be right there, ready for that particular learning. You first need to become ready.

What makes the ‘Stranger than Fiction‘ type of narration work like gangbusters to get you out of your head?
To my surprise not many people take advantage of the opportunity to watch a good movie and steal a habit that can be called a spiritual practice.
Steal a spiritual practice that can take you from a victim of your mind, to as near a human being as you can get in a few months’ time.
The movie, Stranger than Fiction is a really good movie.
but the best part of the movie is that the style of the voice that is speaking. The voice that the hero, Will Ferrell dude hears.
Hearing the little voice in your head from the Witness/Observer position is is heaven on earth. Lovely. You can even be entertained by it… I am.

I have an inquiry to engage in, a puzzle to solve, so instead of doing it in my head, I’ll do it in this article…
The puzzle is resistance. Resistance to guidance, resistance to changing your mind, changing your attitude, changing your behavior, changing where you look from. CHANGE.
To adapt. To using your intelligence. After all, the measure of intelligence is the ability to change. Continue reading “Resistance, avoidance, flexibility… pushing on a string”

When I do the health measurements for people, the last step is to see what causes or will likely cause big troubles if nothing changes.
The first of such causes (thinking/emotional errors, attitude) is what I want to talk about in this article… because I am just going through, or have just gone through something that even I didn’t expect, despite all my experience to the opposite.
I have been waiting to die.
I felt it inevitable. My mother died at my age… so I will too.

Reality can only be seen from the sideways view…And therein lies the reason why humans, the species hasn’t evolved for tens of thousands of years.
The inability for humans, for homo sapiens to grow, evolve, is a fact because 98% of all humans can’t or won’t even attempt to look from the sideways view. Continue reading “Happiness is an inside job, visible from the sideways view”

Prison Break or the Art of Questions…What could someone do when the world, your health, your body, your relationships are not going the way they should… do anything other than be complacent, resigned, live in quiet desperation?
I always had this question, but reading the Fatemarks series the question is getting louder in my head.
On the internet Continue reading “Prison Break? What prison are you in unbeknownst to you?”
