I woke up with a question this morning:
Have I succeeded to create a system that can put a human onto the path of becoming a human being?
The answer was ‘yes but’. And the proverbial search for the needle in the haystack began. Continue reading “I have the ascension process. ready. but can you hack it?”

What can the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teach you? OR What did Frank Kern learn the hard way?
First, before I get into the story itself, let’s ponder the meaning of teaching so we are on the same page, OK?
As someone who attempts to teach, let me tell you what it’s like for me. I find a thousand different ways to say, demonstrate, frame what I want to teach. And I invent thousand and one stories. I find books that hint on what I want to teach. Often I sing it, I make it a comedy, make it a tragedy. And I make you read. I make you practice activating your eye muscles and the related brain areas… Continue reading “What the Nobel Prize winning physicist’s story teaches you”

The best training program I have ever participated in was the Introduction to the Forum Leaders Program at Landmark Education.
A good training, I say, begins with screening.
If the purpose is to get the participants trained.
If the purpose is to find out who, what kind of person you can’t train successfully, then accept everyone who applies.
Therefore, the first step of any ‘good’ training program is to screen the applicants. Continue reading “Attitudes: the All-or-nothing attitude causes rigidity”

Most of what is there to see can’t be seen neither in the small picture, nor does it match what is already approved to see in the culture.
When I look what kinds of fiction, what kinds of stuff attracts people nowadays, I find that the most popular genre is the kind of fiction where evil almost wins. Almost. Continue reading “-Seeing what you cannot see. Seeing what’s worth seeing”

One of the most memorable things I have ever read was in a book The Terminal Man. In the beginning, scientists want to find out what area of the brain is responsible for certain behaviors, certain memories… Continue reading “What do your human predatory genes do? Make you do…”

On the other side of pain, on the other side of unpleasant… How firewalking is an analogy to life… Or how to innovate yourself out of a bad situationFirewalking is the act of walking barefoot over a bed of hot embers or stones.
Firewalking has been practiced by many people and cultures in all parts of the world, with the earliest known reference dating back to Iron Age India – c. 1200 BC. It is often used as a rite of passage, as a test of an individual’s strength and courage, or in religion as a test of one’s faith.
One of the buzz-words Tai uses in several of his steps is ‘innovate yourself out of’ the trouble you are in… the stuck states, the problem, etc. It’s Jeff Bezos’ favorite method of growth… Jeff Bezos of Amazon.com fame…
I have never met a person, I have never met a student who even remotely could imagine this accurately, including Tai. Continue reading “How to innovate yourself out of a bad situation”
