Become all you can become with Sophie
He that won't be counselled, can't be helped
This article will be mostly about reading. Specifically why reading doesn’t fulfill its purpose with you…
Remember when I asked you if your life was empty? a week or so ago…
Well, when nothing is actually happening in your life, it feels empty. Continue reading “You need to understand why it is the way it is to change it”
He has warned me, (not personally) that the big four, or however many they are, are eventually going to ban me, google, facebook, banking and email next…
Amazon didn’t ban me, it banned my products.
But recently I was booted off Facebook, and now, every email address that is connected to me and my business is refusing to forward the emails to my desktop… making it very cumbersome to do business.
My teacher and I match 70%. I didn’t say ‘fit’. I said ‘match’ or we are in essence the same or so similar, you can’t tell which one of us is speaking. Not necessarily the content… he would be mortified if what I say came out of HIS mouth… lol… and I would lose all my students and clients if what he says came out of my mouth.
We are similar in our how.
Most people I know are very dissimilar with me. To me? grammar anyone?
People with the same size brain are as different in what they can do, as a pop and mom store and Walmart, the company.
If we compare people with computers, which we can… we can do whatever the hell we want to do, can’t we? So when we compare these two things: a human and a computer, is the difference in what they can do in the hardware or the software?

There is a Landmark Education distinction that no one gets…
It has a huge overlap with the distinction ‘you live in a world of your own design’.
This, the ‘you live in a world of your own design’ is somewhat like the Law of Attraction: you attract what you are… but much deeper. It is BEING that, not feeling, or thinking only, though you may feel and think it as well.
But thinking and feeling don’t create being… the reverse, the opposite is true. The thinking and the feeling come from your being.

My only friend who doesn’t keep to staying home, and still does errands for me and for other old people like me, just picked up a package from me to take it to the UPS store for me.
She was crying… everyone is on her case… including her daughter. I was on her case even yesterday.
Today I was grateful to her for being a rebel… rebelling against mandatory behavior modification… so much that it made even me think and start doing alternative thinking.
I admit, I have been behaving like the six million Jews (among them 34 of my family) who allowed themselves to be herded into cattle carts and into gas chambers…
Oy. Continue reading “Will you breeze through or will you die from the virus… if you get it?”
Why is it that most people, you, who believe in the Law of Attraction actually practice how to repel people and repel what you want?
99% of all people believe in the law of attraction… or some version of it…
People write to me all the time, asking me for something. They want something for nothing. Obviously they are adherents of the Law of Attraction: the law seems to be saying to the: you can attract to yourself things you want by just wanting them. Ask and it is given… or something of that sort. Or if you really desire it… blah blah blah.
I have a few secrets for you: the world doesn’t operate that way. In fact, the world operates closer to what Charlie Munger says: If you want to get what you want, you need to deserve what you want. Continue reading “Are you attracting or are you repelling? That is the question…”
Your primary goal is to look
I once did a Landmark Education seminar where the main ‘mantra’ was (I paraphrase the funky Landmark Education language for you): ‘stand in front of what you can’t see, and keep on looking even though you can’t see anything‘
Most impatient people (that is most people) latch onto something irrelevant, and stop looking. They are like a dog with a bone… There is no hurry on the creative plane… only on the horizontal plane… what you can see easily is most likely irrelevant, and a sidetrack, preventing you from actually seeing what is important. Continue reading “What do you see? How do you see? same old same old?”
If you don ‘t know what flak is… flak is strong anti aircraft fire…
Why? It seems that I have fallen into standards and ideals mode…
What is that? you ask… It is where the person entertains how things, people, themselves SHOULD BE, should do, should have.
I have been harping… I am a harpy (a rapacious monster described as having a woman’s head and body and a bird’s wings and claws or depicted as a bird of prey with a woman’s face) when it comes to being well read, observant, and intelligent. To the degree, that this morning I asked Source if it is worth training people who are not like I say they should be. But Source says: it is.
This is the problem with the standards and ideals attitude: they want to deal with only ‘deserving’ people…
The other problem most have is that they themselves don’t match their standards and ideals… they are fully sh*t… Am I too? Source says no… but that doesn’t make me much better. Continue reading “I am getting flak from Source”
Can you learn something that you lack the spiritual capacity for?
I spend a lot of time pondering this issue. What is the predictor, in the Starting Point Measurements, or if it’s not there, what measure could I add, that would predict what someone can do, and is likely that someone will do.
According to Jim Camp, negotiation genius, vision drives decision… and action.
So to see how far someone is willing to grow, how far someone is willing to go beyond what’s the status quo, depends on their vision. That is not capacity… that is hardwired in their genetics.
Some 35 years ago I used to ask this question differently: Continue reading “What does it take to grow as a person?”

One sign of low intelligence is thinking that you see everything that is relevant.And when someone shows you something new: that doesn’t change your thinking… you think: now I really see everything. I even catch this last one myself… although not as frequently as I used to…
from Quora: Most low IQ people tend to almost be Fundamentalists and take things very literally due to lack of imagination, intuition, open-mindedness, cognitive flexibility, comprehension, critical thinking and are always relying on very direct impressions because of the lacking of depth in their thoughts and understanding of things.
It’s normal to think that you see everything but normal is also stupid. Because a person who thinks that doesn’t even look. And definitely won’t look differently… Won’t ask different questions. Will be more interested in what they have to say than what others have to say. Continue reading “If you saw that, your life would change to the better?”
