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

The pull and push system of growth… How inspiration is proving to be stronger

I have been ‘playing’ this self-improvement, self-development game for 35 years. It germinated and grew into a full ‘tree’ in me, while in others it remained stunted, or maybe even died.

What was the difference between those others and myself?

The main difference was, I thought, is that I saw going up incredibly inspiring, while others focused on protecting their egos. We call it precious I in my work.

I had a precious I too, but I could see that what it had given me is grief, so I was willing to think and do things that offended or scared my precious I, because what I saw was available was inspiring enough for me to do so.

Soul correction: your only way to raise your vibration

“The planets may impel but not compel” say Rob Brezsny, and, if in nothing else, we agree on this point.

If the planets compelled, then soul correction, as a trajectory, would be an oxymoron… leopards don’t change their spots.

My soul correction is “Forget Thyself” which impels me to place myself higher than anyone else, including any authority, including Source.

Today that soul correction, that behavior, that attitude only shows up about 10% of the time. I say this in celebration of free will… how I behave, what attitude I bring to life is up to me: I can bend even though the planets impel me to be rigid.

According to Kabbalah, somewhat the bedrock of my mindset, free will is what created the physical universe. Continue reading “Soul correction: your only way to raise your vibration”

The vibration of the world is plummeting

As I said yesterday, I read a bunch of articles in the morning, especially mornings when I need an idea-starter, because I don’t have anything to say.

I have subscribed to a few bloggers’ posts, and today was no exception: I read some of those articles.

Two things I noticed: none of these people have an independent thought in their articles. Not one. They write like a school assignment, quoting from other people.

Their vibration is stuck at 170 vibration. Of course that is much higher than their readers’ vibration, which is the unbelievably low 100.

Independent thinking starts at 300 vibration… until then it’s all Tree of Knowledge… At 170 it is pure and unadulterated second-hander…

The average vibration of humanity…

The best way out is always through. ~ Robert Frost

I love Hungarian poetry. I hate English language poetry because, to me, they are either too vague, or don’t mean anything… No offense meant, by the way. It’s probably a weakness in me…

Now, the line from a poem, in context, is complaining that he cannot see his way through

He says the best way out is always through.
And I agree to that, or in so far
As that I can see no way out but through—
Leastways for me

I recognize this sentiment because a lot of my students have it. I had it, maybe, a few times for maybe hours at a time… when I was looking for a way OUT, instead of looking for a way through.

Looking for a way out is, in other words, either escape or fixing.

The most visited pages of my site are Continue reading “The best way out is always through. ~ Robert Frost”

What’s relevant, what is irrelevant? Can you tell?

Hey teacher, why are you teaching about relevance?

One of the areas where being able to tell the difference between relevant and irrelevant things, between measuring your time and measuring your results, is work.

Whether you work for a job, or work for a future, i.e study for and build a future, a project, lack of being able to tell the difference between urgent, have to do, need to do, want to do tasks, between relevant, important, and not… between procrastinating and not having enough data, not knowing what to do and how to do it… will make you a working bee with no results or someone who produces results within the framework of a day, a week, a month, a year.

Most people don’t have this capacity open, and therefore most people’s life looks like a mess… and they produce no results in their lives.

In fact, most people are underachievers. Continue reading “What’s relevant, what is irrelevant? Can you tell?”

When the guru is wrong…

When the ‘guru’ is wrong

People put gurus on a pedestal, but guru simply means ‘teacher’ in some language: teacher… wise teacher.

But I am not a guru. I may teach, but my methodology, experimenting, is more scientific.

Scientists have a hypothesis, and then proceed to prove or disprove it. Both are good results.

But sometimes a preconceived notion leaks in. 🙁 Continue reading “When the guru is wrong…”

It is not the smartest, it is not the strongest that make it

Whether Darwin said that anything like that, or he didn’t… doesn’t concern me. The principle is true, whether a famous person said it or not.

In the evolutionary sense, it is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able best to adapt and adjust to the changing environment in which it finds itself. Continue reading “It is not the smartest, it is not the strongest that make it”

Can we change the future of the planet by changing people?

Yesterday I spoke about the human condition, where moral rules, codes, and such are masking the predatory nature of humans…

Predatory simply means: me at your expense… and it is mostly, among animals, at the expense of another species, but there are exceptions.

I live on nuts, nuts are about 40% of the nutrition I take any given day. Why? I can’t eat much anything else and stay well beyond my expiration date… which, for all intents and purposes was in August last year.

So I got an extension, on conditions that I do life in a particular way… Continue reading “Can we change the future of the planet by changing people?”

Why does the future of the planet look the way it looks?

I am reading an amazing AND disturbing book. Again.

I have been heeding the words of my teacher, Robert S. Hartman, that to fight evil, you need to know evil, intimately. Be able to recognize it everywhere… in yourself and in others.

Like yourself, I prefer to look at pretty, beautiful, harmonious, happy… But if you want to tell the truth, there is not much of that, at least where humans are involved. Continue reading “Why does the future of the planet look the way it looks?”

Authenticity: Beware the barrenness of a busy life… ~Socrates

Beware the barrenness of a busy life. ~ Socrates

There is never a time when new distraction will not show up; we sow them, so several will grow from the same seed. ~ Seneca the elder

You better train yourself to manage your attention. Focus determines the quality of your life

These above are all quotes… We read them we nod, or not, and we continue not having a clue why our life sucks.

Your experience is what you agree to attend to. Not necessarily with words: you agree with your actions, what you pay attention to. Continue reading “Authenticity: Beware the barrenness of a busy life… ~Socrates”
